for those big projects, unless you are very skilled in remodelling, hire someone to do it. just face the facts that you probably don’t have the tools or the skills to do a good job. for the smaller stuff go ahead and take a shot at doing it yourself. even if you aren’t satisfied in the end you can find someone to fix it for cheap.

I have to be honest, reading through this blog has given me serious brainache!

All this mortgage stuff leaves my head in a muddle. Think I might need to meet someone face-to-face and have them explain it to me.

I agree the real estate industry especially on the coastal regions are like they say in the auto industry and they are upside down big time.

Now that being said we all know that everything works in cycles and at some point it will indeed turn the million dollar question is when!

Great Info and thanks for sharing!

When it comes to do-it-yourself home improvement, what types of home upgrades are the most effective? Also, what about the increased taxes that result from obtaining proper building permits from the city? You are a great resource, thanks in advance!

Yep, it definitely makes sense to do some of the nitty gritty work yourself – basic demo and other stuff. I’d be careful with ANYTHING involving running water and electricity though…

In regards to making improvements and doing it yourself.
I work as an electrician and have on several occasions picked up side jobs in which the homeowner purchased the permit and matrials. I would do the work for around half of what an electrical contractor would charge.
This happens all the time in the construction business and is a great way to save on costs as most contractors make profits not only on the labor but charge a + percentage of material costs.

you’re absolutely right : some people are still paying a house like 200 000$ because they’ve bought it 5 years ago. And now the house is worth like 170 000$ and they’re still paying for 200 000$ !

That’s why the bank crisis is aweful and the subprimes problem isn’t solved !
