   Hello again Peachtree City & AR!  You probably didn't know this but I have been     a proponent for gaining the support from our elected officials related to getting an extension of the 1st Time Home-Buyers program.  My efforts went so far as to send personal letters to both Senators Saxby Chamblis and Johnny Isakson asking for their positions on pending issues and continued support on others.     Folks, I would be remiss if I first didn't state that I received responses from both Senators.  I thought I'd share the response I receive from Sen. Johnny Isakson which acknowledged his efforts as co-sponsor of the Bill to extend the tax credit to 2010.  What you may not have known is that he also fully supports a Bill that would also create a $15,000 tax credit for all home buyers.  I've ... 10/20/2009

    Hey Peachtree City...The House just passed the bill introduced by Rep. Charles   Rangel (D-NY) to extend the $8,000 First-Time Home Buyers credit to Members of the Armed Forces and certain other Federal employees until November 30, 2010.  The Bill passed unanimously and will now go to the Senate where it is also expected to pass with ease.  The Bill also amends the Internal Revenue Code and exempts those service personnel from having to pay back the credit should they be deployed for extended duty service.  So what about the extension of the First-Time Home Buyers credit?  Well so far there has been heavy duty lobbying for the extension of this credit into 2010.  The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has sited that this incentive has been an important stimulus and participatio... 10/15/2009

Hey Peachtree City & AR...City Council recently voted by a margin of 3 to 2 not to increase property taxes for fiscal year 2010!  However, Council did agree to increase the millage rate to 5.711 mils.  The increase in the millage rate would prevent the usage of cash reserves for the FY 2010 budget.  Just in case you are wondering were the money is going....approximately 16.5% is headed to Peachtree City, 67.2% goes to Fayette County School Board, 15.5% goes to Fayette County and 0.7% goes to the State.  Three public hearing were scheduled (as required by law) to advertise the increases.  Peachtree City's Finance Director, Paul Salvatore and City Manager Bernie McMullen recommended the increase which would have raised the average resident's taxes an additional $27.00 and brought a total ... 09/28/2009

     Okay Peachtree City before things become as hostile as a town hall meeting on health care, let me explain the topic.  Recently, I read this article in the Wall Street Journal entitled "(Marxism) The New American Dream: Renting."  The article stated that Americans might as well get used to the fact that home ownership is no longer a realistic goal for folks and further suggested that we curtail the enormous government subsidies that are fueling this endeavor. The Marxism connotation as identified in the article's caption views Capitalism as a society in which a small minority of the population dominates and exploits the vast majority considered the working class. At first glance it looked to be just another article by another self-proclaimed expert on their soapbox pontificating abo... 08/20/2009

Hey Peachtree City & AR....has anyone noticed that a number of foreclosed homes seem to be just sitting for months on end with no visible effort going on by the banks to actually resell them?  It really did not hit me until a client expressed interest in a foreclosed home in my own neighborhood. When I approached the sales broker for the neighborhood he informed me that the builder had gone bankrupt and the house was going into foreclosure in a few days.  "Call me back", he said.  "The house will probably a better buy once it comes out of receivership and is back on the market."  Okay, that made sense to me.  So I kept making calls to the broker who kept informing me that the home was not available yet.  Well, a period of about 3 or 4 months has gone by and the house is still just sitti... 08/07/2009

The Bank of Georgia is under some major scrutiny as the FDIC served a "cease and desist" to the Peachtree City-based bank.    The order basically states that the Bank of Georgia has been cited for a number of banking practices that could represent unsound and unsafe banking practices.  Specifically, the bank was cited for operating with inadequate capitalization for its risk profile.  Additionally, the bank was operating with inadequate management citing that those practices are detrimental to the bank and further jeopardize its deposits.  Bank of Georgia execs have commented on the situation stating that the dozen complaints had already been address in subsequent bank examinations during 2008 and are considered resolved.  Bank of Georgia also contends that most of their loans are tied ... 08/04/2009

  Greetings Peachtree City & AR!  Is it just me or does it seem like the foreclosure situation mirrors an unwanted fever blister on your lip.  You know what I mean...it started kinda small then when you notice it you try and put everything on it to stop it from getting bigger and more noticeable.  Much to your chagrin, it seems like the more you do to it the bigger and more noticeable it seems to become until you just decide to ignore it and hope that it will eventually just go away!  Then in the meantime, you go about your business trying to pretend that it's not there or at least just not that bad looking!  But the truth be told....it's festering, unattractive, and more than likely nobody is gonna kiss you until it goes away....right!  Alright, maybe that is an overblown example but y... 07/08/2009
