Good practice
Real estate is one of the best investment strategies for long-term wealth building…. No matter if you buy or sell in a short time or if you keep it, your investment starts to get old and obsolete. It is in your best interest to maintain it and preserve it as much as possible.
A particular aspect to consider when we talk about obsolescence regarding a house is not only the sturdiness of the infrastructure but also the technology inside it. We fill every day our homes with utilities, systems and devices that gives us more comfort, nicer living spaces, more security and unable us an intelligent use of resources.
The industry that produces this technology , most of the time , takes for granted that the infrastructure of a house is ready to host them but how many times when we purchase a device and go home you realize that something is missing for a correct installation? A missing socket nearby, the ground electrical wire, a cable path that you need is not there, a good Wi-Fi signal in the rooms, etc… Technology moves faster than you think!
During any renovation it is a good practice to sort out what you could do in order to create a good environment to host new devices and this means keeping an open mind to the new trends of technology. Sometimes the tip of the scale of a sale or a purchase will fall on the happiness of watching Netflix in the master bedroom with no buffering instead of the latest model of a “Delta” faucet in the kitchen.
