The New House, Hot Dog, and Chairman Meow

July 18th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Daily Life, House, Lifestyle, My Life, real estate

Weekend before last, I moved into my new house, about 20 minutes away from where I work. It’s a 30 minute drive in traffic now, though, because they closed off one lane on either side of the highway to install a concrete divider.

Everything has been crazy but amazingly smooth - I moved in, have been settling, and waiting on my closing date (this coming Monday, 3 days away!). They neglected to tell me I needed to have my home owner’s insurance ready by closing, so today I scrambled to get my insurance setup, and in the process am moving my auto insurance to the local office. Since the bank had e-mailed me a PDF of my appraisal, I just forwarded that on to the insurance company, and they got all the information they needed. I’m all set for Monday to close!

In related news, two days ago Kylara gave me two kittens that her cat had, and now they live at my house. I’ve named one Hot Dog (the girl, kind of adventurous and curious) and the other Chairman Meow (the boy, very quiet and stern, looks like he’s scowling at everyone all the time).

Here are photos of the house and my kittens:

Run Away Forever: Hotel-Like Apartments in Budapest

January 16th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Business, Entertainment, Entrepreneurship, Holidays, Income, Lifestyle, hotel, moving, real estate, travel, vacation

The internet isn’t what it used to be. It’s better. Ten years ago, if someone had said “I’m moving to Budapest and I’m going to work from home over the internet,” I’d have called them crazy or been extremely impressed they were that high up in their company. Nowadays, the internet makes it possible to be a dot com millionaire in your underpants at home or in your trunks on the beach.

Global delivery services, Google, Amazon, eBay, PayPal - even an entrepreneur could use these services and make it big while permanently on vacation in a place like Budapest. If this sounds like your dream, start looking for a place there now. Or even if you’re just thinking of a Budapest vacation - you can find apartments that have all the same accommodations you’d expect from a 3-5 star hotel. Go take a break, you deserve it.

New York’s Beautiful Houses

December 29th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Business, Lifestyle, New York, online shopping, real estate, websites

For some reason (maybe it’s because I live in the South), I never really equate New York with beautiful landscape and nice housing with big yards in my mind. Maybe it’s because most gritty crime dramas on television based in New York are in the city. Anyway, if you’re doing pretty well in business, you might consider buying real estate in suburban or rural New York State.

If you’re looking for a house in the Hamptons, or thinking about setting up shop and getting an apartment in the city, it’d be nice to deal with just one real estate agency that covers the entire state, wouldn’t it? Prudential Douglas Elliman is the largest real estate company in New York. Prudential is also well-known nationwide as a popular real estate agency. They have the expertise to help an interested buyer explore living options throughout the state, from Long Island to New York City to North Fork real estate.
