Hey Jim,

Whats your thoughts on putting new technology in a house that you flip? I mean the lastest as in turning appliances, lights, etc on from your smart phone, voice activated gadgets, motion sensor lights and faucets, security cameras, or anything new that comes out just to be different? I think something or maybe a combo of two things might be cool to put in a nice flip, just not sure if there is any roi in that.

Jack,

I think that it would attract a certain percent of population, but may turn off some of the older or less tech population.

to me it would be like putting in your personal touches to the property that may not appeal to everyone...
also, some people may think that they could get a 'cheaper' house if the gadgets are not there...

just my 2 cents...

Learning and progressing every day,

Valerie

It is upsetting information but curious. So what does it all mean? There were so many parts to it that could be tackled individually. Just curious?

My take on it is to take advantage of the power of the Internet to grow your business.

I was directed to this video thru another source and found it interesting. It certainly gives a person something to think about. Everything in the world these days is going at an extremely fast pace.
Technology provides us with lots of new tools to use and advances such as in medicine. Its no wonder the US Postal service is in trouble and about to cut 220,000 jobs. So much is done on the internet now and no one needs to wait for a letter at a minimum of 3 days.

Right now we have 6 million people without power south of me in southern Ca. and Az and some of Mexico and they may not get power back until saturday. I call that a big problem.

With regard to my mention of the 6 million people without power in southern Ca. - at the time I did not know the cause and at the same time we have heightened alert for terror threats on the east coast.

I was just checking the news story and was relieved to know the cause. I will copy and paste a portion of the news story here.

The outage came at the same time that, across the country, residents of East Coast cities were on high alert after U.S. intelligence officials confirmed Thursday they were investigating "credible" reports that at least three individuals entered the U.S. in August by air with the intent to launch a vehicle-borne attack against Washington, D.C. or New York around the anniversary of 9/11.

As a result, authorities in Arizona and California took pains to reassure customers there, quickly ruling out any suggestion of terrorism with the blackout.

"This was not a deliberate act. The employee was just switching out a piece of equipment that was problematic," said Daniel Froetscher, an APS vice president.

I don't know how I missed this. Methinks Jim has been dippin' into the Cap'n Morgan's a tad bit too much and the Vodka, Rum, Whiskey, Gin, AND Coke, never mind the ice
