Idaho is a fairly big place. It comes close to cutting the country in half on the United State’s western side. It is by no means the largest state in the country, though because Idaho is so tall, it inhabits a large variety of different kinds of terrain and land. Alternatively, if you ask pretty much anyone about Idaho, they will say that there is not much there. Despite its size, Idaho is one of the least populous states in the states. There are parts of the state where you can go for miles and miles without coming across anyone. However, while it is still pretty unpopulated in comparison to parts of the rest of the country, Idaho is not a barren wasteland. There some major urban centers with large populations, one of those being Boise, the capital
The North End of Boise was the first suburban development in Boise. It was first built in 1878 and it only stretched across a couple of blocks. In 1891 more people began to move to the area and they created a twenty-five-year boom in home construction. The people that were moving to this area were of conservative means and the homes were not extravagant but they hold a certain charm and they are now popular acres to go and check out the old houses that were built at the starting of the city of Boise. The benefit of this area that a lot of people are drawn to is that it is a suburban area that has a great school district and has all the benefits of living close to other people but unlike most modern suburbs the homes are all differently styled and
One of the most important decisions you can make in your life is where to make your home. Whatever form it takes, so much of the course of your existence revolves around where you live and the quality of that location. A home is an incredibly expensive thing compared to everything else you will buy and pay for in your life, and the influence on you does not stop there. There are a million factors to consider when buying a home and all of them will have some impact on your enjoyment while you live in it. Luckily, not all of those factors are game changing, though some of them are and you definitely want to be aware of them before you make a commitment. You really do not want to put all that money and time into something only to find out when you move
Boise is located in the southwestern part of Idaho about 55 miles from the border of Oregon along the I-84 corridor. The capital city of Idaho, is the City of Boise, and is also the largest city in Idaho with a population of more than 223,000. The City of Boise has several suburb cities that have grown to the point that there is not much distinction between where one starts and the other begins but is more or less a continuous trail of neighborhoods and business centers from one end of the Treasure Valley to the other.
Meridian is Boise’s closest neighbor, and at a population of 87,743, it is the state’s second largest city, edging out Nampa which had held that title previously. It is also the Idaho’s fastest growing urban city with a
The housing industry has been taking a strange turn over the last half a decade and that turn is called the Tiny House. This hot new housing fad has crept into almost every community around the country causing everyone to ask not only what they are and why they even exist, but also if they should buy a tiny house too. Today we are going to take the bull by the horns and try to really dive into this subject and figure out what exactly is going on here.
What are tiny houses?
Tiny houses, in essence, are really, really small houses (hence the name tiny). Most of them look like large sheds, garages that have been detached from a house or just a house that has been hit by the shrink ray from Honey I Shrunk the Kids. The idea behind them is to
There are several options available for people looking to buy a home. Buying an existing home is an option. Whether it’s a foreclosure, for sale by owner, or a sale through a realtor, an existing home has its perks and challenges. Likewise, building a home can be a great experience, but it takes a bit of research, time, and can be a bit unpredictable. No matter the choice, moving into a new home can be stressful and fun, but what are the pros and cons of both building and buying?
Building a home is a great way to ensure that the home is exactly what the buyer needs. Sometimes, it can be hard to find an existing floor plan that accommodates all of the things that a buyer is looking for, so building a home from scratch can offer customization
There are few professions in America as exciting, vital, and misunderstood as the real estate agent. They do quite a bit for our communities, helping us to buy and sell homes and advising us in matters of real estate investing. However, despite their value, there are quite a few people buying homes without an agent. While this is completely legal and not impossible by any means, it does present quite a few problems that a lot of people do not foresee. Buying a home without an agent can actually make the process much harder, and, in some cases, could end up costing you more money than it would have cost to hire an agent in the first place. So, in order to dispel rumors and explain what the home buying process would look like with and without and agent,
Many people in today’s society love a good challenge. Maybe that’s why the trend of buying homes to fix up and sell has become ever more popular as time progresses. Renovating a home can be entertaining, fun, and fulfilling if done properly. Like many other types of risks, however, flipping a home can be frustrating if the market crashes or if expensive, unexpected projects crop up. A bit of research can help, not only during the renovation process but also prior to acquiring the property.
Purchasing the property and home to fix is the real key to turning a profit. Because so many homes are old, dilapidated, and in disrepair, it can be hard to know what may be too much to handle. When viewing a property, ask questions. This is incredibly
Some people have the gift of a golden thumb—one who is great at doing what others feel is the impossible. For instance, most people don’t have all that is required to fix up a home without training, knowledge, and the physical capacity to do all that taxing manual labor. However, some people are great at it, and enjoy it to boot. For those people with the knack for fixing and building, buying homes to fix and sell is a profitable business.
Before you give up because you don’t have any prior experience in fixing up and selling homes, stop for a moment and think of the possibilities and financial opportunities that come with this job. You may not even have to be the one to do the manual labor. Intrigued? Check out the following list of things to
