ARLINGTON, VA – This week’s cold snap has the potential to wreak havoc on the lives of many wild birds struggling to find enough food to survive the long, cold nights.
Many people mistakenly believe that once the brunt of winter is over, birds can easily fend for themselves. However, even under normal weather conditions, spring is a difficult and stressful time for birds. Most of last year’s natural food sources have been depleted, and the majority of this year’s seeds and berries won’t be available until much later in the year. Meanwhile, birds are expending a great deal of energy migrating, courting and building nests. Now add to that, a big snowstorm, and the birds will be struggling.
Consider the following to maximize the value of your home. In order to receive the best bang for your buck, focus on improving the areas that will have the greatest remodel appeal: kitchen, basement, and home exterior. An updated kitchen and/or basement, in keeping with the rest of the home, can definitely increase value. As for the exterior, make sure the roof and HVAC are in good condition. These are two things buyers will inquire about as they are typically costly items. Landscaping should also be considered; if your property looks rough or run-down, you may immediately turn buyers away. Taking care of these areas will typically add the most to your home’s value and will make your living space more attractive both for potential buyers and visitors alike. Of course, your main focus should be on repairing any problem areas before moving on to the bigger renovations. Issues such as a damaged siding or drainage problems can seriously detract from a home’s value. Once these pesky matters are taken care of, move on to the high-return-on-investment projects.
With a home equity loan or line of credit, you can make these home improvements a reality. Alternatively, consolidate bills, pay college tuition, take a family vacation, or simply use it as a safety net–the possibilities are endless! Another bonus to securing a home equity loan or line of credit is that the interest paid on the loan is often tax-deductible for those who itemize deductions. Lafayette Federal offers Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit at great rates with up to $500,000. See www.lfcu.org/homeequity for more information.

Lesniak started in real estate in 2012 after a successful career as a Naval Submarine Officer and a Defense Contractor. In his first year, he closed over $22 million in sales, a feat matched by only a small fraction of agents, regardless of experience.
