Hi friends, sorry for the delay. Back to school and some upcoming sinus surgery has me totally thrown off track. Bless it. Ironic because I’ve been working for weeks on how to organize my thoughts to convey that there really is no way to prepare for the way things are going to shake out when you undertake major house… Continue reading Home Investment Part Two, Prioritizing Projects
Hi friends- as promised, here’s the kickoff to my series on profitable home ownership! No, this is not a gateway to some amazing product I’m offering you.
