I graduated from Minnesota state Mankato with a bachelors degree in information technology.

We painted the whole house ourselves (talk about sweat equity), had a 320 foot privacy fence built in the backyard, updated both bathrooms, and swapped out mirrors, lights, and other fixtures to modernize it.

Proximity is not as important as it used to be with the technology available today. 

So far I am using "smart home" technology to help me remotely manage the property, and its working out splendidly.The other nice thing about being within driving distance is it makes the property search easier.  

Technology advancements such as email, phone calls, skype has enabled communication with a remote CPA to be seamless.

If I choose out of state, then I would have to rely on technology ALOT more.

The Huntsville/Birmingham market is flourishing because of the job growth and the modernization of the city centre.

I consider it the blue collar Austin and the most modern day image of America.

Since the siding is only .25" thick, it's pretty light.The "chunkier" appearance of this product when it is used as fascia gives a home a more modern, appealing look from the curb.Installation is simple.

We're rehabbing a mid-century modern rental at the moment.
