I mean I know what a mansion is, but who determines that a house is a mansion? Does it have to have a certain amount of rooms? Does it have to be a certain square footage? \n\nWhat exactly makes a mansion a mansion?

Wikipedia gives an interesting history of the word, and lots of info.  They say:\n\n"There is no strict definition of how many rooms a house has to have before it can be termed a mansion, but realtors generally use the classification for houses with at least 8,000 square feet of floorspace"

Easments and other areas of property law vary by state.  You should consult a local real estate attorney.

Someone who is trying to find the best home for your budget wise, and etc. So my advice is let them do the talking and see if they're asking you all the right questions. If not then they're probably not looking out for your best intrest. Remember they make profit off of you..so make sure they're doing there job which is to find you your prefect home!

That all depends on the shape of the room, the units the measurements are in, etc.  If is it a rectangular room, it is length times width.  Other rooms are just the formula for the are of that shape.  Ex. Circular room would be the formula for are of a circle.  If the room is not just one even, easy shape, break it up into smaller parts and find the area of each then add them together.\n\nIf the units are not in feet, convert them to feet before you find the area of the shape, will make it easier in the end. Ex.  If in inches, divide length by 12 and you have the number of feet.\n\nHope that helps, enjoy.

How many pictures across the page do you want, and how many pictures in total are there? That seems to be the crucial information that is missing in this question.\n\nWhy is it determined how wide the margins and frame around the images are, but not what the size of the image is?\n\nReally you have to decide how big you want the pictures first and work on from there.

when you buy a house they assess on the purchase price. If you add on they will probably add the cost of the addition based on new values per square foot. www.mytaxcollector.com/TR/newHomeOwners.asp\nMIKE

Depends on how much each costs and how many people are going to be living there.  For me, smaller house with extras, but I don't need a big house.  Also, smaller house usually means smaller utility bill, and I'm all about that.

Why are you asking this again?  I just answered you.\n\nAgain:\nThere are "levels" to dimensioning.\n\nThe major dimensions are the overall height, width, depth of the whole object. \n\nThe next level down will sub-divide that major dimension to describe sub-components.\n\nAs example: Consider a house plan. \n* From one extreme side to the other extreme side is a MAJOR dimension (the overall width). \n* In between those extreme outer wall edges are interior walls that need to be located as well. So the next layer of dimensions (MINOR) still goes from one side to the other but pulls lots of dimensions from lots of walls. \n* Also, there are porches, corners for inset windows, etc Another MINOR level picks up those points.\n* And so on.\n\nIn your 3D drawing: \n* you only have 6 MAJOR dimensions to a cube shape anyway. Depending on how you rotate the drawing object, you see 3 of them and 3 will be hidden (back side).

You might be able to find out some info on the computer, it's really going to depend on where you are and what exactly you want to find out. If you're looking for information about who owns the property, I'd suggest looking up your local tax assessor to see if they have a database. If they don't, you may be able to find out who they have listed as the owner by calling them. Yes, a title company search can tell you a lot about the property, but it may not be the information that you're looking for. Normally a title report (sometimes called a "commitment") will tell you about any open liens (mortgages, tax liens, unpaid contractors, etc.), easements, conditions and restrictions (for example, you can't have a fence more than 6' high in this neighborhood, that sort of thing). However, if you're looking for more of a history of the building (did any famous people live here, any exciting events, etc.), you'd probably want to check with the neighbors and/or the historical society. Hopefully this helps, Good luck!

Who is the wealthy americans and what do people call rich?  I hear a lot of discussion on this topic, but no politician wants to define this.  So be prepared when your tax bill goes up regardless of what you make.  If you make over the poverty level, you are rich.

First thing is MAKE IT DIFFERENT. There are far too many subdivisions that all look the same. Secondly, since it is small you must target a niche section of the market and design and sell it on that basis.  Planning permission and various government regulations pertaining to your plans can easily be obtained from the City Hall in whatever area you choose to put the subdivision....but that's the easy part. The hard part is to come up with something unique or you'll lose your pants!

Where are you and what are the other homes in your area doing on  there property.  You don't wanat to be the first to overdevelope the neighborhood.  Do you have a pool?  A guest/poolhouse might be a consideration.  Are you planning to live there for many years or flipping the property?\nSometimes you can answer the question by playing devil's advocate.\nDo you want your "guests" IN your house ALL day?
