What should you not use a home equity loan for?

• <div><p>Avoid using a home equity loan for non-essential or short-term expenses like vacations, luxury purchases, or temporary financial fixes. It’s best to reserve home equity loans for long-term investments, such as home improvements, that can add value to your property or financial position.</p></div>

Is a scullery worth it?

• <div><p>Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). </p></div>

Q: Do skylights add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, if you maintain and clean your skylights often, they will undoubtedly add value to your home. With the right frame material and glazing material for your climate, a skylight is attractive to buyers because it increases natural light and helps to reduce energy bills. With both aesthetic and monetary bonuses, skylights are a no-brainer for many people.</p></div>

Q: How long does an FHA appraisal take?

• <div><p>Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser&rsquo;s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser&rsquo;s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a land survey and a plat?

• <div><p>A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.</p></div>
