BOONE

Boone, North Carolina is the “Kilometer-high” town at an elevation of 3333 feet! According to Norm Crampton, author of “Making Your Move to One of America’s Best Small Towns”, Boone is one of two of America’s “Best Small Towns” located in Watauga County.

Crampton lists Boone as one of the best “College Towns” in the country. The presence of Appalachian State University “adds a cultural component and guarantees you will see young people on the street,” he says. Boone is located in a valley, surrounded by the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The quaint older section of Boone, sits adjacent to the university campus, boasts a variety of art galleries, restaurants, shops and antique stores. The university brings a wide selection of cultural events in the visual and performing arts. “Appalachian Summer” is a cultural festival with events occurring each day during the month of July and attracts many visitors.

Financing Your Home >Finicky Financiers

Buying an old house to fix up has an attraction for many people. If you can find a house with charm and character, a renovation may enable you to create just the living environment that you want. You should start with a good real estate agent to help you locate the right house and recommend lenders who make both acquisition and construction loans.

Financing a renovation is perhaps the most difficult part of the whole project, especially if the house needs extensive work. Few banks will make these loans to people who are not professional developers. You should prepare for your loan application by having a written proposal. It helps to have an engineer's report or architectural plans and to include estimates from contractors covering the costs and timetables for the work to be done. Your real estate agent can help you put together a market analysis of the neighborhood to show that you will not be over-improving the property compared with other homes in the area.
