Rehabbers: Take the Reigns With Smaller, “Smarter” Homes

Posted by: Carleton Sheets in Trend, Real Estate Market, Real Estate, Housing Market, Green, Environmentally Friendly, Budget on Mar 24, 2009.

I read an interesting article in USA TODAY last week. It talked about Americans trending towards smaller, smarter homes---homes that are more environmentally friendly, more energy efficient, and smaller; thus more affordable.

Time is so elusive. But, to me, it is perhaps the most valuable commodity we have. In my years of investing, I have learned to be very disciplined with my time, and to budget it wisely---which means making choices.
