Property Condition Assessments can save your business money

Image
(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Many home owners and business owners live and work in buildings and homes that are outdated. Although this problem mostly affects the real estate values of home owners, it can pose a serious problem for business owners. Not only does it make the property holder liable for a lawsuit if an accident were to happen, but a simple problem can lead to expensive repairs and costs that could bankrupt a business within a few years. One way to avoid this and catch problems before they occur is to get a property condition assessment . Typical services include looking at a property before someone makes a big purchase on it, and assessing damages occurred to a property that has existed for extended periods of time. Typically what is searched meticulously for are structural flaws that can lead to expensive repairs, and life threatening issues that puts occupants at risk. Running a business demands a great deal of attention, and worrying if the building is structural

Things to do in the Dominican Republic

Planning out a trip to the Caribbean can be a fun and exciting process, but knowing where to begin can slow things down right from the start. That's why we've provided a list of some of the top tourist activities to partake in in our favorite place in the Caribbean; the Dominican Republic. 1. Catamaran Cruise: There are plenty of boats around the port cities in the Dominican Republic, and almost all of them have small businesses that offer tours on sailboats and catamarans. Typically you can rent out the boat for a few hours and pay one lump sum. It's much cheaper if you can get a bunch of friends to join so you can all split the bill at a low rate for everyone. 2. Zipline: Getting off the coast, there are plenty of higher elevations that are perfect for those looking for a bit of adventure. At a fairly cheap price, you can zipline through the tree tops and don't worry it's perfectly safe. 3. Buggy Adventure: If you want to take a real look at the area, hop

Mexico's Yucatan Mayan Beach

Costa Maya Bacalar and Yucatan beachfront. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) I'm dreaming of beaches today in far away places, so why not write about the beautiful Yucatan peninsula . Known for their beautiful white sandy beaches, gorgeous sunrises, and bright sunny skies, it's hard not to call the region paradise. One of the more popular regions on the peninsula is the Costa Maya area, which is relatively close to the border of Belize. The area is quite open to tourism and has great amenities, while also providing the seclusion and natural feel desired by anyone looking for a place to get away for a while. Things can get a little crazy if a cruise ship is in town, and the area can be overrun for a day with tourists looking to buy local souvenirs and tan out in the sun for a few hours before heading back for the boat. If you're looking for a place to rent out for your vacation down there, there are plenty of rentals available. Mayan Beach vacation rentals  has both homes

California City Real Estate

Paradise Valley in Kings Canyon National Park (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) It's a cold one up here in Oregon today, and on days like today I wonder why I'm spending my spring in a place so chilly. Today's featured location is a place a bit warmer in the great state of California. California is home to many of the top tourism attractions in the world, and is home to great beaches, warm sunny weather and lots and lots of people. If you want to live near all those great things minus the crowds, then take a look at California City. Located northeast of Los Angelos, California City is the largest city in a fairly rural area. The city is surrounded by national parks, with Kings Canyon and Death Valley to the North, and Los Padros and Angeles to the South. The open expanses and natural terrain of the area make it a great place to watch any sunrise or sunset. Because it is a fairly dry area, days can be hot and nights can be cold, but braving through both is well worth the n
