💸 Read on to discover four easy ways to save up for the down payment on your next investment property.

1. Use The 50/30/20 Rule
Spend 50 percent of your income on mandatory expenses such as rent, student loans, etc.

Use 30 percent of your income for discretionary spending. This includes things like your Netflix subscription, gym membership, and any other entertainment you enjoy. A budgeting app can alert you when you get close to your 30-percent limit, so you know when to dial back your shopping habit.

Finally, put the last 20 percent of your income into a savings account and don’t touch it.

2. Develop A Timeline To Acquire The Property You Want
If you’ve decided you want to be the owner of an investment property worth $100,000 in two years’ time, figure out how much you’ll need to put aside each month to reach the $20,000 down payment amount and then get busy.

3. Automate Your Budget
Set up fixed/mandatory bills to come out of your account on the same day. This way, you’ll be able to see exactly how much they are. Next, set up an automatic transfer of 20 percent of your income into an account designated especially for the down payment on an investment property. Anything left in your regular account is what you can spend on anything you want.

4. Get Rid Of Things That Don’t Add Value To Your Life
Take a look at your expenses and determine the things that don’t add much value to your life or the things you can do without. This might include magazine subscriptions or the highest cable TV package, for example. Cutting back or doing away with these “extra” expenses can help you put more money aside for that investment property you dream of.

👇 Below are five tasks you should definitely learn how to do right away.

💰 If you are a landlord, knowing how to do these basic maintenance tasks could save you a lot of money.

1. Plumbing 101
Other plumbing tasks you should learn to do include snaking a drain, disassembling a p-trap, and plunging a toilet the right way.

2. How to replace electrical switches and outlets
Flickering lights or lights that dim on their own call for a professional electrician, but when an outlet or switch stops working, you can fix it yourself quite easily.

3. Appliance diagnosis and repair
As a landlord, replacing those appliances is a costly undertaking you’d rather not do. As such, it’s a good idea to learn how to troubleshoot and repair appliance problems.

4. Maintaining hvac systems
Many hvac unit problems require the expertise of a licensed professional but maintaining the units to prevent issues is something you can do yourself.

5. Drywall repair/replacement
Drywall repair is a messy job, but it’s not difficult, and you’ll be glad you know how to do it when you need to get your rental ready for a new tenant to avoid a lengthy vacancy.

🎈 Do you look at your kid's playroom and throw up your hands in defeat?

👇 If so, check out these clever hacks that are sure to get the room and your kids organized.

1. Stackable Storage Bins Make Great Lego Storage
To render the device useless, buy some stackable storage bins and teach your kids to sort their Legos by color.

2. Install Shelves On The Walls
Install shelving units along the walls, this will give the kids a place to quickly and easily stash big items that normally spend their time in the middle of the floor.

3. Find Activity Tables With Storage Underneath
If your kids like to draw, paint, color, or are otherwise artsy in some way, make sure they have the space they need to explore their creativity.

4. Shoe Organizers Are More Useful Than You Think
These handy organizers are quite a clever idea when you think outside the box as they can hold almost anything.

5. Got Milk Crates?
Milk crates make great storage containers, but the best part is that your kids can lift and carry them easily thanks to the built-in handles on the sides.

6. Re-purpose Old Plant Hangers
If you have a couple of macramé plant hangers lying around, hang them up in your kids’ playroom to act like a stuffed animal catch-all.

💚 Looking to live a greener life?

🌳 Here are several green cleaning tips that will make your chores eco-friendlier.

1. Read Labels
Cleaners that are eco-friendly exhibit the Green Seal or ECOLOGO, so you know you’re buying a product that’s safe for you, your family, your pets, and the planet.

2. Do Away With Disposable
Washable cloths and stiff-bristled scrub brushes save money and don’t have such a huge carbon footprint as disposable products do.

3. Make Your Own Cleaning Products
If you’re ready to take your greener cleaning routine to another level, try mixing your own cleaning solutions rather than buying them. This way, you’ll know exactly what’s in them and what’s not.

4. Think About Laundry Differently
Rather than use artificial fabric softeners in your laundry, stock up on wool dryer balls instead. These magical balls decrease drying times and make clothes super soft and static-free.

5. Say “no” To Scents
If you want that fresh, just-cleaned smell when you clean, use more lemons in your cleaning routine or add essential oils to your homemade cleaning solutions.

🏡 Looking for a way to change things up a bit and breathe new life into your home?

✨ Try one of these simple projects that make a big difference.

1. Paint A Room Or Two

Painting is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to give your home a facelift. Furthermore, if your current décor is dark, a fresh coat of a light, bright color will help lighten it up in shade and ambiance at the same time.

2. Build A Pond In Your Yard

Getting outside is a great way to improve your overall mood and wellbeing. What better reason to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors than to sit by a pond complete with a waterfall and swimming fish?

3. Build A Fence

Whether you’re tired of your nosey neighbors or you simply need to keep Fido in the yard, building a fence around your property is a great way to do it. Building a fence doesn’t have to be difficult, especially if you have the right tools (most of which you can borrow from any home improvement store).

4. Add A Fireplace In Your Home

Admittedly, adding a fireplace in your home isn’t the easiest of projects as it can take several days to complete, but this DIY project can have a huge impact in a couple of different ways.

🏡 Are you thinking about adding a screen porch to your home?

🌻 Use these tips to help you plan, design, and decorate your new outdoor oasis.

1. Screen Porch Location
Where you build your screen porch will determine how much you enjoy it. Other things to think about in terms of location are privacy and convenience.

2. Designing A Screen Porch
Consider how you’ll use it. Will it just be a lounging area, or will you use it to dine in as well? Be sure to make it big enough to accommodate your planned usage.

3. Screen Porch Windows
The ideal screen porch is open on at least three sides. This increases the feeling of being outdoors. Screen room windows that can be taken in and out are the best option for getting the most use out of the space.

4. Screen Porch Decorating
If it’s meant for entertaining, you’ll need plenty of comfortable seating and a few side tables for placing drinks and snacks on. If you’re using it to dine in, be sure there’s room for a table and chairs. Don’t forget to add an area rug, accent pillows, and a comfy throw to add warmth and coziness to the room.

5. Screen Porch Building Materials
Be sure to do some comparison shopping when purchasing materials to get the best quality materials at the best prices possible.

📍 Do you own a rental property in another city?

🏠 If so, here’s how you can manage rentals from anywhere!

1. Hire a professional property management company
When you can’t be in the same area as your rental property, you can hire a professional property management company to take on most of the landlord responsibilities.

2. Manage smaller rental properties yourself
If you own a smaller rental property such as a two-family home, you can manage it on your own without hiring a property management company.

3. Know when to delegate
If you trust one of your tenants, offer a monthly rent reduction to act as a point of contact between you and the other tenants.

4. Build a maintenance network
Make it a point to enlist the help of trusted professionals to make repairs and conduct maintenance as needed.

5. Keep lines of communication open
State that they must contact you for instruction when something needs attention.

6. Make it easy for tenants to pay rent
To make it easier on you and your tenants, consider using an online rent paying service to collect rent.

7. Make sure your insurance is up to date
Making sure your insurance is up to date is important. It not only protects you from liability should someone get hurt on your rental property.

8. Take advantage of video messaging
Using skype, facetime or some other video messaging service, get visual updates on your property and inspect repair requests in real time.
