Chicago's Vacation turned into Evacuation  Day 3   We attended the Philadelphia Phillies vs. Chicago Cubs today. Our seat were great, along the third base line. Getting to Wrigley Field after all these years was a dream come true. My first trip was schedule for August 2005. Hurricane Katrina cause that trip to be cancelled.   As soon as you see Wrigley Field you feel like your stepping back in time. The stadium reminds me of the old Tulane Stadium in New Orleans. They tore Tulane Stadium down when the Louisiana Superdome was completed. You can see the players and you can almost hear what they are talking out. The crowd was very nice and friendly. I have never been to a professional sports type stadium where just about everyone was wearing team colors. I enjoy my self so much I allowed m...

Golf In the City of Kenner LA Chateau Golf & Country ClubKenner LA504.467.1351 Golf at the Chateau Golf and Country Club is challenging but to me very forgiving. I enjoy the play of a round of golf on @ Chateau Golf and Country Club. I was lucky to recently play a round with a club member and enjoy the afternoon.  The course is line with tree along its fairways. The course to me plays fast.  The eighteen has the added water hazard, which always leave me asking why I play this game? In my opinion the sixteenth is the hardest hole a par 4. When looking for homes for sale in Kenner LA consider the Chateau Golf and Country Club as an added benefit of living in Kenner LA. Thinking of selling or buying a home in Kenner LA?

This trip had some special meaning. This was our first trip to Houston for an Astros since Hurricane Katrina. Second we were hoping to see a new Chicago Cub in action Chad Gaudin.

   Real Estate Investors Tips to Increase Your Profit IIIKenner LAHopefully some of these tips can help you. Currently, I am rehab a rental property on Panama St in Kenner La. The rents in this area go from 950-1250 per month for a three bedroom apartment. The biggest expense is the air conditioning. Being in Southeast Louisiana this is a big problem. Heater will last forever but the air conditioner; well that is a different story. As an investor one way to save on the biggest expense is to change the air conditioner filters monthly. I personally go in and change at the beginning of the month each filter. Yes, this does take a little time but the cost of a new coil is a no brainer. Keep checking back for more investor tips.

The project is progressing nicely. Today my AC men install new AC in the building. The floor has been complete and new 5 ¼ base board is starting to go down.

 Real Estate InvestorKenner LASubject: BudgetIf you're a new comer to investment property or experience you must understand cost. Investment property for sale in Kenner LA ranges from 140k to 350k. I closed on a short sale last Friday. The purchase price was 110k. I estimated 15k in repairs. My time frame for competition of the renovation is 10 days. Today is day 3. The cooler weather will hold up the remaining exterior painting. The new flooring will be complete today. As an investor you must have a firm handled on your cost. My estimate of 15k will be very close if not under. To give you an idea; my cabinet cost was estimated at 3k installed with counter tops. Actual cost is 3200. The difference is 200. What did I get for the $200, granite counter top and a new kitchen and bath sink. ...
