Time to start thinking Summer vacation HOMES in Waukesha County Wisconsin   Vacation Homes Are vacation homes a good investment? You can buy a vacation home today for investment purposes as well as enjoyment. And yes, there are tax benefits. Some people buy a vacation home to use as a permanent retirement home later, which allows them to get ahead on their payments. Another benefit is that the interest and property taxes on a vacation home are tax-deductible. Some real estate experts predict that vacation homes will appreciate in value due to rising demand from the aging Baby Boom generation. You also can depreciate the property if you live in the house less than 14 days a year. You also need to consider whether you can afford to carry two mortgages, pay for the extra utilities and main... 05/31/2011

Spring Rain Equals Wet Basements   We have had our share of precipitation this year, with record snowfalls and now week-long rains.  The constant moisture requires diligent checking on one's home to make sure no water is seeping into the house.  In particular, heavy rains can cause problems in the basement.  Even homes that never had issues with water in the basement may start to see some small areas of seepage.   If you happen to notice water coming into the basement of your home, here are some steps you can take to reduce the dampness:   1.  Clean your gutters.  Often, gutters will be filled with leaves and debris to the extent that rain water actually overflows the gutter edge.  Get out there and clean out your gutters so they can property move rain away from the house.   2.  Check t... 05/29/2011

Feeling ambitious -- looking to purchase a FIXER- UPPER? What you need to know first! Fixer-Uppers Is it smart to even consider a fixer-upper? It depends. Distressed properties or fixer-uppers can be found anywhere, even in wealthier neighborhoods. Such properties are poorly maintained and have a lower market value than other houses in the neighborhood. Many experts recommend that before you make such an investment, first find the least desirable house in the best neighborhood. Then do the math to see if what it would cost to bring up the value of that property to its full potential market value is within your budget. If you are a novice buyer, it may be wiser to look for properties that only need cosmetic fixes rather than run-down houses that need major structural repairs. Is there a ... 05/29/2011

Refinancing When is the best time to refinance? It depends on how long you plan to hold on to your house and if you have to pay anything to refinance. In addition, it also depends on how far along you are in paying off your current mortgage. If you are going to be selling your house shortly, you probably will not recoup any costs you incur to refinance your mortgage. If you are more than halfway through paying your current mortgage, you probably will gain little by refinancing. However, if you are going to own your home for at least five years, that's probably long enough to recoup any refinancing costs you incur and to realize real savings on lowering your monthly payment. If it is going to cost you nothing to refinance, you can gain even more. Many lenders will allow you to roll the ... 05/27/2011

There are many reasons people fall in love with Wisconsin lakes. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets, good fishing, a tour of the water in a favorite boat, a beautiful backdrop to enjoy scenery and explore nature, a place to reflect or just get away from it all. With more than 15,000 Wisconsin lakes, there are many types and sizes of lakes all with their own unique character and natural assets. Ranking the Lakes in Wisconsin The clearest lakes aren’t necessarily the healthiest.  An extremely clear lake may lack the plant life needed to support a robust fishery. Ecologically balanced lakes are more important: those with a healthy mix of native plants, forested shores, minimum runoff coming into them, a good fishery and diverse wildlife.  Dodge County’s Fox Lake is the most challenged lake i... 04/12/2011
