Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are buying your first or last home, there are a few things that you need to know in order to secure a satisfying deal, while limiting the risks.Buying a home should be a fun and rewarding experience, and the more carefully you plan things out, the easier it will be to evaluate your options and make an informed decision regarding the property that you buy.From evaluating neighborhoods, to selecting a Realtor that will work with you based on your needs, this report highlights the most important factors when purchasing your home.There are many things to consider including:- Choosing a neighborhood reflective of your own lifestyle.- Considering the layout of a home (open concept, 3 story, etc)- Considering the size of the property and whether there is room to expand.- Choosing a property with adequate privacy.- Choosing a property with a backyard, trees or fencing.- Choosing a property that offers features most important to you.- Whether the property needs improvements (and costs associated)- Evaluating the different real estate companies available to you.- Understanding zoning regulations, the housing market, additional costs. One of the biggest mistakes that new home buyers make is rushing into a deal. They see a property that they absolutely love. It's perfect! The size, privacy, layout – it's everything they could hope for only to find out that the property needs repairs, or that the land taxes are higher than in a neighboring town.So, it's important that you keep an open mind when evaluating potential houses, and take your time! There are always other homes that could fit your lifestyle and personal preferences, so if you find one that has potential problems, move on! Careful planning and thorough research will help you make the transition into your new home easier (and more affordable) than if you rush into an offer, or make a last minute decision on a property, so give yourself adequate time to visit properties before you even begin your search. If you are currently renting and are considering giving notice to your landlord, make sure that you feel comfortable with the allocated time in finding a new home. Depending on your area, you may be required to give your landlord 60-90 days notice, so keep that in mind so that you don't accrue additional expenses by having to pay for rent when you are no longer there.When beginning your search for a home, you want to consider all options so that you can get the best deal possible. And depending on your lifestyle, you will also want to pay attention to other contributing factors including:- Is there high speed Internet available?- Is there cable television available?- Are there ponds, rivers, lakes or oceans nearby?- Are there 24-hour conveniences? (drug stores, grocery stores, etc)- Is the neighborhood aesthetically pleasing?- Is there garbage pickup? - What is the average value of a home in that neighborhood?Our "Home In Portland" is a great resource whether you are a seasoned home buyer or a novice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining these and many other accomplishments of these families, Julius Hunter provides a unique historical perspective on the past century of American life. In addition to providing the historical background, Hunter presents vivid descriptions of glamorous social occasions in Westmoreland and Portland - weddings, balls, even funerals - and he shows that the residents were sometimes united, and sometimes split, by bonds of family, marriage, religion, club membership, and political preference. Interviews with people who lived on those streets early in this century provide a unique glimpse of what it was like to grow up in the prestigious neighborhood. Hunter's text is superbly illustrated. More than 200 color photographs depict the houses as they appear today, including architectural details and interior views. More than 200 black-and-white photographs provide a glimpse of St. Louis's past. Every house that has stood in either Westmoreland or Portland is shown.

Download or read book A Paradise of Small Houses written by Max Podemski and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Haitian-style “shotgun” houses of the 19th century to the lavish high-rises of the 21st century, a walk through the streets of America’s neighborhoods that reveals the rich history—and future—of urban housing The Philadelphia row house. The New York tenement. The Boston triple-decker. Every American city has its own iconic housing style, structures that have been home to generations of families and are symbols of identity and pride. Max Podemski, an urban planner for the city of Los Angeles and lifelong architecture buff, has spent his career in and around these buildings. Deftly combining his years of experience with extensive research, Podemski walks the reader through the history of our dwelling spaces—and offers a blueprint for how time-tested urban planning models can help us build the homes the United States so desperately needs. In A Paradise of Small Houses, Podemski charts how these dwellings have evolved over the centuries according to the geography, climate, population, and culture of each city. He introduces the reader to styles like Chicago’s prefabricated workers cottages and LA’s car-friendly dingbats, illuminating the human stories behind each city’s iconic housing type. Through it all, Podemski interrogates the American values that have equated home ownership with success and led to the US housing crisis, asking, “How can we look to the past to build the homes, neighborhoods, and cities of the future that our communities deserve?”

Download or read book The Big Tiny written by Dee Williams and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part how-to, part personal memoir, The Big Tiny is an utterly seductive meditation on the benefits of slowing down, scaling back, and appreciating the truly important things in life. More than ten years ago, a near-death experience abruptly reminded sustainability advocate and pioneer Dee Williams that life is short. So, she sold her sprawling home and built an eighty-four-square-foot house—on her own, from the ground up. Today, Williams can list everything she owns on one sheet of paper, her monthly housekeeping bills amount to about eight dollars, and it takes her about ten minutes to clean the entire house. Adapting a new lifestyle left her with the ultimate luxury—more time to spend with friends and family—and gave her the freedom to head out for adventure at a moment’s notice, or watch the clouds and sunset while drinking a beer on her (yes, tiny) front porch.
