Raymond your initial load time on your website is very slow.Many will just click off before it loads.Speed of a site is key with today's consumers.Web designers get carried away with flash and other items because it looks fancy.The flash and high graphic pictures make the sites load slow.I have found people just want a fast site with relevant content to what they are looking for.I do not like ALL IN ONE sites.I believe in highly targeted sites especially with investors.For instance even if you are on page one of Google and then someone wants to learn about hotels and they get to your website and it has a ton of tabs to click everywhere.The odds of that lead digging through a bunch of pages to find the info is slim to none.With a targeted site you appear to be THE SPECIALIST and the content is related to only what they are searching for.I did not also see a form on every page.You want a form to capture their information on every page you have.Your website also I did not see it was keyword rich for the area you are targeting.Blogging can be great.Some people are not that much of a writer.You can do pod casts or videos,radio shows instead if you are more comfortable.Hope it helps.

Jason Kim How To Determine If Kitchen Needs New Cabinets Or Just Fix'em

So I was thinking of keeping the cabinet boxes(unless they are really in bad shape) and replace only doors and drawers with updated designs or fix'em nicely with new hinges and nobs and paint them all with WHITE colors so they would look nicely even, and with the money that I save, I would install nice granite counter tops.I'm just trying to find ways to save money on all the little parts of rehab.. is this too complicated to do for time and labor and would not pay off at the end for these priced homes?

And I am not attending any "guru" classes or how-to-get-rich BS and not hoping the buyer will close the deal (why would not he go to bank then if he does not or did not have financial issues)Just wanted to design the same type of deal that banks do, but only had 6-8 hours to do my research.

It seems unlikely to work.Nope, I tried to double dip a couple of weeks ago, but I could only get the discount from the Bid Desk which was 10%...they wouldn't let me use my 10% off gift card...I have also had luck buying certain items off ebay or amazon.com, specifically door hardware and range hoods...I have been getting "designer" glass/stainless steel range hoods from ebay for $250 where at Lowes a similar model would retail for $700+....Also, I have been purchasing my kitchen cabinets from a company called CabinetGiant.com, which is a local company here in Kansas City, but they deliver all over...they sell ready-to-assemble cabinets that have all the bells and whistles homebuyers are looking for...I have done 3 kitchens in the last 6 months with them and am averaging only $2500-$3400 for a 12x12 kitchen w/ a pantry...
