Q: Does board and batten increase home value?

• <div><p>If <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-board-batten-siding.htm">installing board and batten</a> fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn&rsquo;t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home&rsquo;s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home&rsquo;s price won&rsquo;t see a noticeable bump. </p></div>

Q: Will a tennis court affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits&mdash;like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court&mdash;then your property taxes will be affected. </p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.</p></div>

Q: Should you ever pay more than the appraised value for a home?

• <div><p>Ideally, you&rsquo;d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you&rsquo;re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.</p></div>

Q: How much can I borrow for a home addition?

• <div><p>While there&rsquo;s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.</p></div>

Pate was able to come out and remove two dead trees from my property quickly and for a great price. Very happy that those trees will not be a source of worry in the future!
