Appraisal for Existing House with Planned Changes, Prior to Purchase
Appraisal for Existing House with Planned Changes, Prior to Purchase on the Home Building Timeline at K-11
It's expensive to pre-appraise every house you might consider for purchase, so don't. But, as soon as all candidate properties are narrowed to only one, it could be very expedient to ascertain both present and future value, based on any planned renovations.
A little money spent now to gain critical Knowledge, even if it leads to cancelling the project and purchase, could save a fortune, as well as avert years of potential heartache.

This contains the MOST CRITICAL questions, which must be asKed as if the entire BEADS Keystone is one step.
This is the most critical aspect of site selection, and construction. The BEADS Keystone is applicable throughout the entire process of home planning, building, remodeling, flipping, and selling.
Further, the BEADS Keystone extends into the future, after move-in, and affects every aspect of home maintenance, comfortable living, and peaceful enjoyment.

Cleanup, Routine
Cleanup, Routine on the Home Building Timeline at EVERY step to reduce fire hazards, control drainage issues, manage dust control, and prevent ground-water poisoning.
ROUTINE = DAILY
At every step, and at the conclusion of every process, assure that the entire homesite is neat and clean. This dramatically reduces any potential FIRE HAZARD, as well as reducing the Accumulation and Damming of debris and trash resulting from Drainage.
PicK up tossed-away board ends. Collect them together for mulching, or to be carried off-site. DO NOT BURN!!!!
Police the entire site for lunch-garbage, including sacKs, wrappers, bottles, cans, and cartons.
PicKup cigar and cigarette butts.
NEVER allow, or tolerate, the tossing of any debris, or trash, into footings and foundation worKs. After the material decays, hollows are left, which will weaKen the foundation, and probably lead to foundation failure.
Sweep the floors and raKe the grounds, every day. Then, BAG the TRASH.

Easement
Easement on the Home Building Timeline at C-4, H-4, G-10, M-19; also throughout the diagram centered at D-3; also see BEADS KEYSTONE,
A NO-BUILD-ZONE, an Easement is an area of property used to preserve aspects of infrastructure, usually for multiple properties. No construction is ever allowed within an easement. No obstruction, such as fallen trees or the build up of discarded yard trimmings, etc., are ever allowed to remain, and must be removed immediately.
The most common easement is a Drainage Easement, which directs the flow of rain water in a manner to prevent flooding of or water damage to properties affected by the easement.

A Right-of-Way (ROW) for a street, road, or highway is a special parcel of land. A road ROW sits beside and between other parcels of property. Some examples are streets, interstate highways, railroad tracKs, gas lines, and power lines.
A Right-of-Way for utilities is a special type of easement, and may pass through a privately owned parcel of land. In such a case, the landowner still possesses the land, but is not allowed to ever build within the ROW. Examples are gas pipelines, powerlines, and other utilities liKe cable television and telephone; and driveways allowing one owner to cross another owner's land.

Stop and ThinK
Stop, and ThinK on the Home Building Timeline EVERYWHERE.
"ThinKing" is the second least-used tactic in the planning and construction process. The first least-employed tactic is stopping to do it.
Building anything dwelling-related is a hurried, high-pressure, higher-expectations, highest-emotional-state experience. 'Reason' is replaced by anxiety; and bad decision-maKing follows, naturally. The cure is to give yourself a moment to consider options. So, stop and thinK.
Learn these phrases and use them often:
"This doesn't seem right. I need some time to thinK about it."
"Let's looK at that more closely."
"How can we fix this problem?"
Gain the high ground in any situation by seizing the moment to stop and thinK.
Concerning every aspect of this project :
If you're unsure, stop and become certain.
If a thing is unKnown to you, stop and learn about it.
When a mistaKe is made, by you or others, stop and find of a solution.
The Key word is STOP. Don't worry if people around you are impatient. Stand firm, as you actively seeK positive solutions. -AB
