Adding a three-car garage or stainless steel appliances and granite countertops in the kitchen may seem a bit self-indulgent. But remodeling, upgrading appliances, or adding on to your home can potentially add significant value and be a very wise investment. So you can enjoy the luxuries while you’re living in your home and benefit from them when you sell it by capturing a higher selling price or getting your home off the market much sooner.

Why on earth should someone give you a lot of money and then forget about it? A grant is not philanthropy pure and simple. It means you have a responsibility to fulfill certain obligations.
