Use Old Vintage Frames for Home Decor

We all have old vintage frames left by our grandmothers and mother. It is a real shame to throw them and that is why we found great ideas how to repurpose them. You can put family pictures in the vintage frame or some wall art that you will make it yourself or the kids made. Paint your vintage frames in any color you want. It will look great if you put the picture frame on the ceiling or make a cute coffee table. You can do the same thing with old barn or house window sills. Have fun repurposing old stuff and make it look good.

Home Buying

Short Sales and Foreclosures

Had a phone call about foreclosures and short sales in another town. They were wondering if these are bargains.

Short sales and foreclosures are often not the deals they appear to be, especially for inexperienced buyers.

In this market, even banks want to get top dollar for their properties because they do need to get the most to cover their loan and you can overpay for a property and still must go through all the hassle of doing the work on it. This is especially true for people using FHA loans, which have strict requirements about the condition of the homes they are used to purchase.

It’s difficult for novices to know what they’re buying even if he price tag may be fair, but the damages are often severe and the room for negotiation is limited.
With foreclosures sold at auction, you’re buying the property as is. You must weigh the risk you’re willing to take, however great the price is vs the cost of remodel.
