Windmill Playground construction began on Monday, May 14, continuing until the grand opening on Sunday, May 20. A dedication and grand opening ceremony is planned for May 20 that will celebrate the Town’s first community-build project! They still need volunteers to step forward and lend a helping hand. You don’t have to be an accomplished builder or a skilled carpenter either. If you can hold a hammer, drive a nail, saw a board or dig a hole, they can use you! Unskilled but enthusiastic helpers are highly valued and will be very much appreciated.
So, even if you’ve never built a house, a treehouse, a birdhouse or even a dollhouse, they can still use you this week! Visit www.windmillplayground.com and sign up for one or two shifts. They will feed you and promise you’ll walk away with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment!
There are many other ways to help with donations and other contributions too – check out the website for more information.

The big picture on the current local market is that it is a good time to sell, a historically phenomenal time to buy and a great time to invest in rental property. This week we will discuss each of these market segments in a 3 part series. Today is part 3 of 3: It’s a Great Time to Invest in Rental Property.
The rental market is also extremely busy and competitive – on average homes that were leased a year ago can lease for at least $100 more per month currently. Our last two rentals we put on the market in January were leased within a few days. Couple the high demand with some of the good deals on the market and you can have someone else be building equity and cash for you in a very short period.
Give us a call to show you the current deals on the market and we can find one that will match your budget and renovation skills. It’s a great time to INVEST in rental property.
