⌛ Got some time off?

☀️ Here’s how to prepare for the ultimate stay-at-home vacation.

1. Get chores done ahead of time
Get things like dusting, vacuuming, and laundry done before your vacation starts and don’t think about them again until your vacation is over.

2. Invest in some added comfort
Your home may be the most comfortable place on the planet to you, but for a real vacation feel, add some extra luxuries.

3. Create ideal vacay spaces
If your idea of a great vacation includes the spa, create a spa-like staycation by transforming your bathroom with scented candles, relaxing music, and essential oils.

4. Plan meals ahead of time
Be sure you have menus and phone numbers ready for your favorite places to eat out so ordering from them for delivery is super easy, too.

5. Map it out
If you have an idea of what you’d like your staycation to be, map it out beforehand and delegate tasks to each member of the family.

🏘️ If you find the idea of being the first person to live in a home exciting, then buying a new construction home may be right for you.

⚠️ Before you jump in with both feet, however, there are a few things you must know.

1. You may not find new constructions in the mls. For buyers, new homes won’t show in their agent’s mls search.

2. New homes often sell before they’re built. There will likely be many homes similar to each other in size and design before the project is complete.

3. First buyers get the best deals. Being a first buyer, however, does come with some risk. Once you contract for a new home, you’re committed to the project.

4. You may be able to negotiate upgrades. If you’re interested in buying a new construction home in a project that’s nearing the end of its sales cycle, it’s more difficult to negotiate a lower purchase price.

🤔 The road to successful real estate investing is pitted with potholes and loose gravel along the way. It helps to have someone who’s already traveled that bumpy path to help you avoid the holes, but if that isn’t the case, we’ve compiled a list of helpful tips below.

🔽 Whether you’re just starting out with your first investment property or you’ve already bought several, the following list is full of great tips.

1. Choose properties in up and coming neighborhoods
Buying rental properties is a great way to increase your wealth through real estate investing.

2. Diversify geographically
By purchasing properties in other areas, you diversify your investments and protect your portfolio from the volatility of a local market.

3. Don’t spend too much on renovations
You don’t need to buy high-end fixtures and accents in order to make a rental attractive.

4. Don’t over-leverage yourself
Successful real estate investors have a combination of properties that they own free and clear and some that they finance.

5. Consider investing in a single-family home
Most people would love to live in a house, but some lack the finances to own one and others simply do not want to own.

6. Get ahead of big maintenance problems
Finding and fixing minor issues before they become big ones can save you a lot of money.

🐾 Do you have small children or pets in your home? What about someone with a weakened immune system?

⬇️ If so, you may want to add disinfecting your floors to your sanitizing routine. Here’s what you need to know.

1. Not Everyone Needs To Disinfect Their Floors
The best way to go about disinfecting your floors is to begin where you enter the house. Entryways are notoriously germy as that’s where everyone comes in with shoes on.

2. Use Steam To Disinfect
Steam cleaners work on almost every type of flooring, including carpeting. Make sure it reaches temperatures of at least 167ºF, which is the temperature the CDC recommends for killing most bacteria and viruses.

3. Mopping
Regular floor cleaners typically contain surfactants that loosen bacteria so it can be mopped away. After mopping with a household floor cleaner, be sure to follow up with a spray disinfectant that contains rubbing alcohol or bleach to fully disinfect the floor.

4. Embrace Temporary Wallpaper
Temporary wallpaper is a thing now, and if you’re the type that gets bored easily, it might be just what you need.

💖 6 tips for making your home a healthier place

1. Balance social and private spots
Studies suggest that the key to happiness resides in the strong bonds we form with family and friends.

2. Have a dedicated workspace
Today’s digital world allows many of us to work from home. Unfortunately, most people who do telecommute don’t have a dedicated workspace.

3. Let natural light in
Research shows that a flood of natural light instantly improves mood and maintains good health. Adding natural light is relatively easy.

4. Heat your home properly
A home that’s heated properly can have a dramatic impact on your health and your wallet. Cold, drafty, poorly heated rooms can be uncomfortable and weaken your immune system.

5. Reduce noise levels
Too much noise can have devastating consequences on our health and wellbeing.

6. Eliminate clutter
Cutting down on clutter in every room of your home can greatly reduce stress. Implement storage space to organize belongings and get rid of things you no longer need or use.

🎉 Housewarming parties are a common place when someone moves into a new house.

🎁 Below are six traditional gift ideas to consider the next time you’re invited to a housewarming party.

1. Candles

A candle lit on the first night in a new home is believed to cast out darkness. It symbolically wishes the new occupants of the new home light through even the darkest of times.

2. Bread

A long-standing tradition, giving bread as a housewarming gift symbolically blesses the home with never knowing hunger. Many traditional housewarming gift givers like to give fresh-baked bread to the new homeowners.

3. Salt And Herbs

Salt was once a valuable commodity, people used it as currency, so a gift of the seasoning symbolizes wealth as well as hospitality. A gift of other herbs delivers the same sentiment.

4. Wine

A good bottle of wine paired with a lovely wine decanter makes a great gift that says, “May you always have joy and never go thirsty.”

5. Live Houseplant

When you give someone a live houseplant, you are essentially blessing them with a home that’s always full of life. No houseplant is complete without a stunning planter, gifting a houseplant also conveys a wish of good fortune.

6. Baskets

Gift a new homeowner with a burden basket to be placed at the front door. This symbolic gift helps preserve the home’s peace and harmony by encouraging anyone who visits to leave their troubles outside.
