Expert Author: Karrie Rose | Summary One of the programs that has been supporting condo sales is that of urban tax abatements that allow home owners in certain areas to pay reduced - or no - property taxes to give buyers an incentive to live in areas that have been previously seen as undesirable. Many of these tax breaks were set up for finite amounts of time, running anywhere from five to fifteen or twenty-five years; and some of these tax abatements are now coming to an end at a particularly bad time. Expert Author: Joseph Smith | Summary If you are ready to stop renting but balk at some of the hidden costs of owning a home, a foreclosed condo can make a wonderful first home. With a foreclosed condo, you do not have to worry about repairs or high initial costs. Expert Author: Andy Asbury | Summary The open concept floor plan of a loft allows owners to divide out the room as they want, or leave it completely open. Many lofts have a mezzanine floor overlooking the living space. This is usually where the bedroom is arranged. Expert Author: Melanie Speed | Summary Don't just go on what an agent tells you about the condo; do your own research. Even the sight of pets in the building or in the building's windows is not an indication that pet ownership is allowed. Ask to see the condo's declaration or bylaws. Get an updated copy of the CC&Rs (covenants, conditions and restrictions) to peruse. Expert Author: Julian Bryce | Summary Are you ready to move out of the downtown area into quieter neighborhoods, bigger living areas and safer streets with less congestion? If the glitz and glamour that once brought you to the city now interrupts your nightly slumber, perhaps it’s time you move to the suburbs. Expert Author: Julian Bryce | Summary Loft living is not for everyone. But for those desiring in-town living, close proximity to their favorite night time hot spots and within walking distance to work, lofts present a desirable and affordable alternative. Living in a loft is a lifestyle choice that revolves around the location you want to live in and your budget. Lofts are the hip, less conforming alternative to condos and the affordable solution to houses. Expert Author: Adam Robinson | Summary This is certainly something we've seen time and again in large urban projects. Developers create a buying frenzy by advertising for early bird buyers who are certain to get first dibs on the choicest suites. People line up by the hundreds, some even camping out to be among the first buyers. In the meantime, developers have been quietly selling units for weeks. Expert Author: Adam Robinson | Summary You've spent countless hours at sales presentations and touring through model condo units, and now finally you're ready to take the plunge. You love the condo, but before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you're equally compatible with the condo association. Take some time to go through the following check list before you buy. You'll be glad you did! Expert Author: Julian Bryce | Summary In today’s economic climate, many are looking at lease agreements and monthly payments, thinking, ‘I could own a home for this.’ Condominiums, or condos, present the perfect opportunity for those in Atlanta wishing to own a home and to have more control over their interior space. Expert Author: Lee Keadle | Summary After working with several buyers who have chosen Park West out of the many communities in Charleston, I have put together some information about these condos. Although I recommend looking at other neighborhoods, too, Park West should definitely be on your list of communities to visit if you’re considering buying a condo. Expert Author: Lee Keadle | Summary Many home buyers look for condos because of their low maintenance. If you’re looking for a second home, condos are a great way to ensure that you’ll be able to enjoy your stay, without the headache of constant upkeep. Condo owners enjoy little to no maintenance living, since they are only responsible for keeping up the inside of their condo (and their porch or stoop, if they have one). Expert Author: Julian Bryce | Summary Condos in Atlanta can promote green living and a healthy lifestyle that contradicts the traditional views of life within the city. When most people think about living in condos, they view a downtown city environment full of pollution, traffic and noise. Dallas is considered one of the best U.S cities to live in. If you are planning to move to Dallas, you can consider renting a Dallas apartment, at a reasonable price. In Dallas, you can find different types of apartments, available to you, whatever your budget may be. Apartments in Dallas are available to rent anywhere from a 6 month to 24 month lease or longer. Expert Author: Lee Keadle | Summary Town homes and condos are so similar that people often confuse them or use the two terms interchangeably. So, I’ve included a set of questions you can ask yourself when you’re visiting properties in order to distinguish condos from townhouses. Expert Author: Julian Bryce | Summary Atlanta real estate stands tall amongst modern cities offering aspiring and inspirational real estate, not least because of its imposing Bank of America Plaza reaching up for the sky at over a thousand feet tall. But Atlanta is not just about reaching for the skies, but also making sure that it has strong foundations. Expert Author: Julian Bryce | Summary Whether it be thanks to the television series ‘Friends’ or any one of the other many similar television series, Atlanta lofts are becoming one of the most sought after and popular forms of accommodation, and many people are desperately seeking such properties, with a view to becoming a part of the chic image that such television series have popularised. Expert Author: Lance Wilson | Summary Austin is a popular place to live in the state of Texas. Apartments in Austin, Texas vary widely, ranging from inexpensive to fairly pricey. The competition for rentals can be high depending on the time of year one seeks to move there, so starting a rental search early is important. Expert Author: Lee Cameron | Summary For those who are looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle, or a place in a popular downtown area to call home, condos are a very attractive option when looking for a new home. They can offer many bonuses that you won't find with most houses - plentiful amenities, helpful maintenance, an active and close-knit community. But along with these benefits comes a different lifestyle and new things to consider before you decide to make an offer. Expert Author: Rozi Dover | Summary Don't save now only to pay later with a condo unit. Sometimes low dues seem like a great deal, but they can mean future problems and expense for you if they mean lowered services and a smaller reserve. While you should definitely rethink a unit where you are assessed dues far in excess of what is needed for maintenance and future repairs, you should not choose a unit based on how low the dues are. Rather, find out what you are getting for your money and whether you're happy with this level of payment. Expert Author: Mark Franklin | Summary Pinhole leaks in hot water recirculation lines are very common. Take preventive measures to dramatically reduce or even eliminate the frequency of occurrence and protect yourself from the potential damage and expensive repairs caused by leaky hot water pipes.
