The Renovation Revolution: 203K And HomeStyle Mortgage Loans www.forbes.com (Mark Greene, CONTRIBUTOR)

Many of the existing homes that are listed for sale in today’s markets, are functionally obsolete because they are older and don’t have the amenities today’s buyers are looking for in a home.

And according to the National Association of Realtors, there is a limited inventory of existing housing stock. If we add in foreclosures and short sale candidates, then maybe the reason Existing Home Sales are down is because there are so few houses on the market and many of those need lots of TLC. Properties that have languished in default and foreclosure or are short sale candidates tend to develop can’t miss evidence that pride of ownership moved out a long time ago. Location, location, location may not always be powerful enough to overcome neglected and dated homes long overdue for modernization.

A 2014 NAR survey of homebuyers revealed that 53% of those polled said finding the right home is the biggest problem even when they find the right neighborhood.

NeighborhoodTour.comTM

For many buyers, especially first time homebuyers, renovating a home post-closing may seem out of reach because they do not have the liquid assets to do desired renovations. This can obviously have a big influence on a buying decision when the needy property is in the right location for a particular buyer. So just how can a prospective homebuyer make improvements to a property without cash and with little equity?

8 Painting Secrets the Pros Won't Tell You www.countrylivings.com

1. SAND AWAY FLAWS

You have to start with a perfectly smooth surface to end up with perfectly painted walls or woodwork.

2. USE TINTED PRIMER

Before the pros paint walls, they fill holes and patch cracks with joint compound. But if you paint directly over it, the compound will suck the moisture out of the paint, giving it a flat, dull look (a problem called "flashing"). Those spots will look noticeably different than the rest of the wall. To avoid that, pros prime the walls before painting.

3. PRESS TAPE WITH A PUTTY KNIFE

To avoid the pain-in-the-neck chore of scraping off the paint, do a thorough job of adhering the tape before you start. "Apply tape over the wood, then run a putty knife over the top to press down the tape for a good seal," a painter with more than 16 years of experience says. "That'll stop any paint bleeds."

4. ELIMINATE BRUSH AND LAP MARKS WITH PAINT EXTENDER

The secret to a finish that's free of lap and brush marks is mixing a paint extender (also called a paint conditioner), such as Floetrol, into the paint. This

does two things. First, it slows down the paint drying time, giving you a longer window to overlap just-painted areas without getting ugly lap marks that happen when you paint over dried paint and darken the color. Second, paint extender levels out the paint so brush strokes are virtually eliminated (or at least much less obvious).

5. USE CANVAS DROPCLOTHS

Pros don't use bed sheets as drop cloths, and neither should you. Thin sheets won't stop splatters and spills from seeping through to your flooring. And while plastic can contain spills, the paint stays wet for a long time. That wet paint can (and usually does) find the bottom of your shoes and get tracked through the house.

6. FINISH ONE WALL BEFORE STARTING ANOTHER

It might seem easy to do all the corners and trim in a room, then go back to roll the walls, but don't. Pros get a seamless look by cutting in one wall, then immediately rolling it before starting the next. This allows the brushed and the rolled paint to blend together better.

7. SCRAPE (DON'T TAPE) WINDOWS

Don't bother taping windows when painting sashes — it takes a long time and paint usually ends up on the glass anyway. Go ahead and let paint get on the glass. Once it's dry, simply scrape it off with a razor blade. The paint peels off in seconds. "Just be careful to not break the paint bond between the wood and the glass," a pro cautions. "Otherwise, moisture can get on the wood and cause rot."

8. PUSH PAINT TO AVOID RUNS

When your brush is loaded with paint, it's easy to create runs by applying too much paint in corners or along trim. To avoid that, start brushing about 1/2 inch away from the cut-in area to apply the paint. As the brush unloads, move over and slowly drag the brush along the trim or corner. Let the bristles gently push the paint against the cut-in area where the walls meet. You may have to do this a couple of times to get complete coverage, but it'll avoid excess paint along woodwork and in corners.
