When people watch all of the home improvement shows on TV, they don’t get true sense of things. Thirty minutes later and the house/room is done. Clean, painted, decorated, etc.
The truth is that renovation is usually dirty, messy and SMELLY. Those are things that don’t come across when you watch it on TV. I thought that I would share a photo of a room 2 hours after demolition.
Looking for an affordable, spacious and modern home in Williamsville? How about this 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath center entrance colonial on Ranch Trail. It is a great neighborhood and appears to be a very nice house. This is a great deal for the price and is located in a terrific part of Williamsville.
The price? $149,900
Williamsville House for Sale
The house is a ‘for sale by owner’ so it probably isn’t getting too much exposure. My bet is that a realtor would price this at $169,000 - $189,000. Even if the home needs a new roof and some additional updates, that will just increase your equity.
Chat with a builder about how much it would cost for a 2200 square foot, 4BR, 2.5BA home in the Amherst area. It would be more than $100k over this price and wouldn’t even take your landscaping, patio/deck, or window treatments into account.
Good luck.

Let’s not talk about the loss to the Cowboys last night. It was terrible.
Let’s look at the big picture of the franchise and assume that the Buffalo Bills are for sale right now. For anyone who caught the sideline interview with Thurman Thomas last night, you should think about the things he said. If nothing else, Thurman has a big heart and lacks a poker face. He discussed the organization, and he spoke about the fact that he is moving back into town, that Jim Kelly is living back in Buffalo and so is Steve Tasker. He was asked about the organization and replied as if Kelly and Thomas (and Tasker) were a part of things right now.
In my opinion, this means one of two things.
Call me crazy, but I see this as a real possibility.
Jim Kelly has some terrific connections and has always had business interests outside of the game (JKE, Network, Race Team, Etc). Thurman has the close connection with Ralph Wilson and a few bucks as well.
Owning an NFL franchise is not something that many have a chance at. Even big money folks will never be allowed to enter the club. Thurman and Kelly could hold the key. Even the franchise in the smallest market kicks off cash to the owner or ownership group. Don’t forget about the fact that the teams value increases each and every year (the big money part of the deal). Ralph paid about $25,000 for the franchise back in 1959. The team value is now estimated at $750,000,000. Not a bad return!
Look for future moves from this potential group.
Looking to get into residential investment property in the Southtowns? The time to buy is when the market is soft. The buyer has the advantages. If you are in a position to purchase, and you are looking in the Orchard park area, take a look at these properties. The pricing is decent and the rents could probably move up a little bit (currently $750 each unit).

You might have trouble viewing the first listing at Loopnet. However, if that is the only place that it is being marketed (and not in the MLS), you could have a bargain on your hands.
