Type Of Financing: Conventional with a first and second trust. A select few lenders are currently offering a 2nd trust. Typically, the borrower must have stellar credit and still puts 10% of their own cash down. This financing strategy can be used to avoid private mortgage insurance. It also may be a good choice for someone who is expecting a lump sum of cash or gets paid in bonuses and intends to pay the second trust off sooner rather than later.

Given that this property falls into the very narrow margin that is actually identified as the legal subdivision of Capitol Hill, and that you can practically look out the front door and see the Capitol Police standing on street corners, I think we can avoid the typical dispute of whether or not we all consider this Capitol Hill. This is quintessential Capitol Hill. Period.
No central air, pink subway tile bathroom, street parking, “finished” basement…no problem. It’s The Hill! Sold in 9 days. $772,500.
Hey, it does have some nice heart of pine floors, gorgeous unpainted wood doors and trim, a huge 2000+ square foot lot, LOVE the vestibule tile, and yes, it came with a hot tub.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
