Since it’s the weekend, I’ll mention some non-real estate info today. I like to make furniture with black walnut lumber. I guess this is because that was the favorite wood used by my grandfather, and also because I inherited a bunch of it that I’ve been using. What I have left, though, has lots of [...]

This couple had done all the right things including contacting a lender and getting pre-qualified. Turns out, their lender [...]

This is a pilot project that covers only a small portion of the city and will run for a year before they decide whether or not to continue it.
