Outdoor Fireplaces and Kitchens Increase Home Value and Happiness, Experts Say

Saturday, April 19th, 2014


Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) April 14, 2014

Real estate experts believe outdoor kitchens increase home value. “In any market a home with an outdoor kitchen would help buyers choose it over another without one,” says Karen Schwartz of ERA Real Estate. (~This Old House Magazine, 10 Smart Ideas for Outdoor Kitchens and Dining by TOH Editors)

Masters Stone Group, the premier provider of stone masonry and design in Charlotte, NC, agrees with the experts findings. The company announced today that it finds strong growth in outdoor fireplaces and outdoor kitchens. They are being used both as a means of increasing home value and extending the seasons to enjoy the outdoors. With a fireplace and a fire pit, families can now stay warm outside, bask in the glow of the fire, even when its cooler outside. It used to be that all entertaining was done indoors when the weather was cooler. Not anymore, says Mark Correll, President of Masters Stone Group.

More and more consumers are building outdooror cabana kitchens so they can slow down and spend more time with their family and friends. With a mix of cabinets, grills, warming drawers, sinks and refrigerators, all the elements of outdoor dining can be close at hand. (~Backyard Kitchen Primer by Paige Bowers, Realtor.com)

The fact that outdoor kitchens increase home value is a key driver of the widespread popularity in the outdoor living market. Factor in that outdoor fireplaces and kitchens are more affordable than ever, and most people conclude it is a wise investment. Still, most families choose outdoor living enhancements, such as fire pits and fireplaces, to increase enjoyment of their home and to better their lifestyle, said Correll. Fireplaces make a beautiful focal point for outdoor rooms and lend a sense of drama and comfort to any gathering, but lets not forget the practical purpose they serve: heating and cooking.

Correll said, Additionally, outdoor living is not just for million dollar homes anymore. Homes of all price ranges are making their outdoor space a priority and maximizing its use and value. While patios are still the most common outdoor feature, they are followed closely by fire pits, outdoor kitchens and outdoor fireplaces. We always tell our clients that anything they can envision, we can create. Even in small spaces, we offer design and planning to make use of every square inch possible. Clever design can make all the difference in turning a drab, small back yard into an exciting, fully functional outdoor kitchen.

Areas in which Masters Stone Group specializes include: Ballantyne, South Charlotte, Myers Park, Lake Wylie, South Park, Matthews, Lake Norman and Waxhaw. We aspire to remain the leading company for outdoor living in Charlotte, says Mark Correll. We are specialists in stone pavers, flagstone patios, concrete pavers, stone patios and exterior home accents you name it, if it has to do with stone, we can get it done. Our name has become a symbol of quality, craftsmanship, and passion for stone and masonry in Charlotte. We intend to keep it that way.

Demand for Solo 401(k) Plan to Continue to Grow In Light of Annual Self-Directed IRA SEP Contribution Limitation Increase for 2014, According to IRA Financial Group

Wednesday, January 29th, 2014


New York, NY (PRWEB) January 14, 2014

Starting on January 1, 2014, the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) announced that the maximum one can contribute to a SEP IRA cannot exceed the lesser of: (1) 25% of compensation, or (2) $ 52,000 for 2014. Although the self-directed SEP IRA contribution limitation have increased by $ 1,000 to $ 52,000 for 2014, one is still able to reach the maximum contribution faster with a solo 401(k) Plan, stated Susan Glass, a tax professional with the IRA Financial Group.

Under the 2014 Solo 401(k) contribution rules, a plan participant under the age of 50 can make a maximum employee deferral contribution in the amount of $ 17,500 to an IRA Financial Group solo 401(k) Plan. That amount can be made in pre-tax or after-tax (Roth). On the profit sharing side, the business can make a 25% (20% in the case of a sole proprietorship or single member LLC) profit sharing contribution up to a combined maximum, including the employee deferral, of $ 52,000, an increase of $ 1,000 from 2013.

For plan participants over the age of 50, an individual can make a maximum employee deferral contribution in the amount of $ 23,000. That amount can be made in pre-tax or after-tax (Roth). On the profit sharing side, the business can make a 25% (20% in the case of a sole proprietorship or single member LLC) profit sharing contribution up to a combined maximum, including the employee deferral, of $ 57,500, an increase of $ 1,000 from 2013.

The annual Solo 401k contribution consists of 2 parts, an employee salary deferral contribution and an employer profit sharing contribution. The total allowable contribution limits are combined to get the maximum Solo 401K contribution limit.

According to Ms. Glass, Establishing a self-directed solo 401(k) Plan versus a self-directed SEP IRA provides many exciting advantages, including the ability to make employee deferrals in pre-tax or Roth of up to $ 17,500 or $ 23,000 if over the age of 50, borrow up to $ 50,000 tax-free and penalty-free, and the ability to buy real estate with a nonrecourse loan with any tax,

IRA Financial Groups solo 401K plan is unique and so popular because it is designed explicitly for small, owner only business. With IRA Financial Groups solo 401K plan, self-employed individuals or small business owners with no employees can benefit by making high annual contributions up to $ 52,000 – with an additional $ 5,500 catch-up contribution for those over age 50, make traditional as well as non-traditional investments, such as real estate, as well as borrow up to $ 50,000 or 50% of their account value tax-free and penalty free. IRA Financial Groups self-directed 401(k) plan is a trustee directed plan meaning the trustee and not the custodian is in charge of making investment decisions on behalf of the plan. With a solo 401(k) plan, in most cases the trustee will be the plan participant providing the plan participant with greater control and investment authority over his or her retirement funds.
