It's Time To Play - SUPER Fun Outdoor Spaces

Jenell Fontes

Great weather is right around the corner and it’s time to get outside and enjoy it. A fantastic way to do this is to turn your backyard into a SUPER fun outdoor space. Designing your back yard or outdoor spaces as an entertainment area will not only enhance your family's quality time together, it will also add value to your home. I'm pretty sure we all like that!

To create your fun outdoor space, identify how you want to use it. Treat your outdoors and backyard as an extended living space with a purpose. Imagine how you would like to spend more time outdoors. It might be playing, relaxing, entertaining or a combination of all three. Here are a few ideas that will get you started:

• Set up seating areas with interesting art or water features to create a view.

• Add a hammock or lounger to small spaces.

• Add paving stones to define areas and pathways.

• Make sure that your outdoor area is clean and organized and purposeful.

• A fun add to a larger outdoor space are “jumbo” outdoor games.

For those of you that have recently driven on Avenue 52 or Jefferson on their way to PGA, Tradition or Griffin Ranch, you may have noticed a new sign on the way that reads "Talus."

The purchase of a home is for most people the largest investment they will make in their lifetime! Your home is both an investment and a place to live. For the past decade I have worked with a lot of investors and the same principals that make my investors rich, apply to any real estate purchase. Here are some real estate buying tips I learned from the investors I've worked with! First off, it is all about the numbers! Make sure the numbers work up front, define and estimate if there is money to be made and upside in the resale due to market, trends, or added value… Basically, if the numbers don't add up from the beginning then don't make the deal.
