Checklist for Fall and Winter Preparation  1. Tune up your heating system and create a plan for maintenance. For about $80 to $100, a technician will inspect your furnace or heat pump to be sure the system is clean and in good repair so that it can achieve its manufacturer-rated efficiency. The inspection also measures carbon-monoxide leakage. And you minimize the chance of being last in line for repairs on the coldest day of the year.  Create a plan to have a heating professional check your heating system every year.  Mark your calendar.  Woodburning stove connector pipes and chimneys should be inspected by a certified chimney sweep at least annually.Replace your furnace filter.  Your furnace filters need to be replaced once a month to allow your heating and cooling systems to operate ...

Saturday's show was focused on Getting your House Ready for Fall and Winter. With the beautiful brisk air of Fall in the air, it's time to think about getting ready for fall and winter.  Pretty soon we'll all be spending more time indoors and less likely to tackle outdoor tasks when the weather changes.  So, now is the perfect time to prepare while the fall air is still not only comfortable but really delightful. We talked about some things that homeowners may want to do in and around the house to get ready for the new season.  And, also this is a good time to check on a few areas in the home as preventative maintenance.  There is a list of reminders that should prove helpful, and they are available on the website at www.openhousewithdena.com.

Saturday's show was the third in a three part series on Rental property and we were talking about Useful information for Landlords. With so many foreclosures and short sales, many have found themselves in a good position to enter into the Income Producing Property Business of owning and managing rental property.  The trouble is that this can be a money-losing instead of money making situation if not managed correctly and that is why we were addressing that subject. With so many homes on the market not selling and changes due to the economy, many people have become landlords as a last resort when they aren't able to sell their homes and need to relocate or scale down as part of their adjustment to this new situation. If you are managing your own property and choosing your tenants, it is...

Saturday's Show was the first in a three part series on Rental Property with information both for potential investors, current landlords and tennants. With so many foreclosures, now may be the perfect time to follow your dream of investing in rental property.  INVESTING IN RENTAL PROPERTY:  Who should consider this and how is it done?  First of All, before entering into this risky but profitable business, it's important to review your finances.  You can find yourself in serious trouble if you do not have the funds to handle a rental property.  Consider the cash flow required if you have no occupant or a non paying tennant for a period of time, and consider the amount needed for upkeep, repairs, taxes and insurance.  If you do not have extra funds set aside, you could be taking too much...
