And, if you're considering a move

across the nation or across the street

email me using the information in the

description box below. so now let's get

into the

video. according to my

research, I actually did do research.

the three methods I used to learn more

about some of the projects homeowners

are doing in their homes uh first I went

into Home Depot the second method was I

went into Village

Hall to find out what permits were

being applied for and then third thing I

did was ask other real estate

professionals what projects they're

working on in their own

homes. so when I went into Home Depot

and the purpose of my visit to Home

Depot was one because I'm getting my

fence

replaced as a result of some wind

damage that occurred a couple months ago,

so we're adding that one to the list,

some work on the fence is number one

on the the list of what's being done by

homeowners. the other thing I was told by

an investor is that they're working on

the bathroom floor and also repairing

the tile around the uh bathtub so that's

the second project and the third one I

talked to a contractor who mentioned

that

he's installing three ceiling fans

from one of his customers. so those are

the three projects that I learned about

in Home Depot. when I went to Village

Hall I talked to the administrative

folks who receive the applications

for permits and asked what are they

seeing, what are they seeing applications

for predominantly and one of them again is

bathroom

remodels made the list again. people

 are working on the floors and tiles

in their bathrooms, potentially for

flips. they're also seeing applications

for solar panels being applied to their

roof and the third thing was EV charging

stations. so those are the three items

that I've learned about in Village Hall.

and the third piece

was asking real estate professionals

what type of projects they are working

on. again, bathroom remodels are on the list

where they're replacing the floor and

also replacing the tile surrounding

their bathtub. The second project was one

person was adding carpet to their stairs

and the third person I talked to was

repairing a damaged wall getting a leaky pipe replaced

or repaired. So those are the three

things and bathroom remodels seem to be

 taking the lead in all all three of

those methods of research. Are you

surprised by any of these items let me

know in the comments section and if

there's a topic that you want to hear

more about, leave your feedback. I want

to hear from you.

so until next time!
