Some of the 2004-2006 vintage builds are already starting to crack!!!

The evaporator coil is inside - the "A" coil, as it's sometimes called, inside the duct work just above the furnace's heat exchanger.With the exception of certain much older systems (1960s vintage), the compressor is OUTside, not inside.

Luckily, having a pro on your team makes an otherwise daunting transaction much easier.You have to purchase a like-kind property, which just means you can't trade your current real estate for a vintage car or fine art.There are some timelines to adhere to:You need to formally identify up to three like-kind properties within 45 days of selling your current prop, which means you should be looking by the time you go to market.You need to close on the new property or properties (yes, you can buy more than one if the math works out) within 180 days of selling the current prop.You can identify more than three properties if you need more choices or are planning to exchange for multiple props (often an issue for people selling very valuable RE or reinvesting in cheaper markets) but there are some rules:You can identify as many as you like, as long as the total value of all of them does not exceed 200% of the value of your current prop.

I LOVE vintage homes, so I keep a close eye on the greater east end/ 2nd ward (specifically eastwood, broadmoor, idlewood, lawndale, and oak lawn) and more recently the activity on the near north (north-side village up to lindale park) has caught my attention.I'm looking to connect with anyone that's active in these areas, find out how I could get involved, would love to see a rehab of a 100 year old house in action! 

You may just find an unexpected piece that will add a vintage touch.Collect The RainwaterA great way to conserve water around the home is to set up a barrel somewhere in your yard to collect water when it rains.

This is expected to change fairly soon as larger projects, including Apple's 2.8 million square foot "spaceship" campus, are set to be completed.Although office vacancy rates for newer buildings, like in San Francisco, are expected to rise, vacancy rates for older, vintage buildings may double in cities, like Denver.Click here to read the full report
