1. Use Available Materials
Chances are there are boxes stored away in the garage and maybe some forgotten bins up in the attic that were supposed to be used “later.” When “later” inevitably comes, those bins could become a saving grace.

4 Ways To Marie Kondo Your Kitchen
The kitchen is the center of the home, after all, who doesn’t love food? Unfortunately, it is also an absolute magnet for messes. Dirty dishes, pesky clutter, and crowded countertops plague even the most organized of home-chefs. If only there was a way to simplify the tedious cleaning process that haunts us after every home-cooked meal! Enter Marie Kondo, cleaning expert and star of Netflix’s Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. Here are 6 incredibly simple tips from Marie herself that you can apply in your own kitchen to shorten cleanup time and maximize your efficiency.
1. Keep those counters clear!
A core principle of Kondo’s method is having usable space in the kitchen. Countertops, she advises, should be kept clear when not being used for a direct task like cutting vegetables or preparing a dish. It may seem counter-intuitive (no pun intended), but having that free space will help relieve the crowded feeling that comes with clu ...

One of the most potentially frustrating times in the life of a real estate investor is preparing to sell an investment property that is currently occupied by a tenant. There’s a whole host of ethical, financial, and legal considerations that need to be taken into account, and quite honestly, if it’s not managed properly, the whole process is not exactly fun.
Today we’re going to be sharing 3 of the many golden rules investment property owners need to follow when selling an occupied property. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it should give you a good starting point to get you thinking about the kinds of considerations that need to be taken into account. Let’s get started.

It’s all too easy for real estate investors to focus mainly on the property they are considering purchasing without putting the same amount of effort into properly researching the area it is in. Needless to say, this is a mistake, and it’s one that can be easily avoided by working with an experienced real estate agent who knows the best (and worst) local areas for investment.
As you can imagine, the research you’re going to be conducting when purchasing a property that is purely for investment purposes is very different from what you’d do for your own home. It’s possible to overlook excellent investment opportunities that are simply not on your radar because their location is very different from what you and your family prefer.

We’re getting to the time of year when real estate agents from all over the world analyze and assess the performance of their local markets and identify future events that may change the market’s current status quo.
With that in mind, here’s what we think buyers, sellers, renters, and developers should expect if they’re planning on entering the market in 2019.
Buyers & Renters...
While there is a wide range of different financial and market-based factors that buyers need to consider, there is no doubt that interest rates are one of the most important (or at least most prominent). We’re currently in a financial period that has the highest interest rates we’ve seen in about 8 years. The Federal Reserve is planning at least one more interest rate rise in 2019, with the strong possibility of a second-rate rise coming later in the year.
A reasonably small increase in interest rates doesn’t usually add as much monthly cost to your z ...
