      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1504 Stonegate Lane SE Atlanta GA for Rent - Kirkwood&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stonegate Cottages&lt;/strong&gt; - This end unit &lt;strong&gt;condo&lt;/strong&gt; cottage in the &lt;strong&gt;Kirkwood&lt;/strong&gt; neighborhood of &lt;strong&gt;Atlanta GA&lt;/strong&gt; really feels like home.&amp;nbsp; It has a vaulted ceiling in the living room. It's been freshly painted and is ready for you to move in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The second bedroom could easily be used as a den/office because it has french doors that open to the living room. There are hardwood floors throughout except for wall to wall carpet in one of the bedrooms. 702 square feet feels open and airy here, maybe because it has great natural light coming in from 3 sides.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sold Princeton Crossing Home in Tucker GA</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sold Princeton Crossing Home in Tucker GA - &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;My buyer client just closed yesterday on a beautiful &lt;strong&gt;new construction home&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Princeton Crossing.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Princeton Crossing&lt;/strong&gt; is in &lt;strong&gt;Tucker GA&lt;/strong&gt; just over the Dekalb County Line in Gwinnett County. It's right off of Lawrenceville Hwy past Pike's Nursery.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Ryland Homes&lt;/strong&gt; is one of the &lt;strong&gt;metro Atlanta builders&lt;/strong&gt; that is still actively building &lt;strong&gt;new homes&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;New Construction Homes in Atlanta GA on a rainy day&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/9/6/4/8/ar126831731784695.JPG&quot; height=&quot;169&quot; alt=&quot;New Construction Homes in Atlanta GA on a rainy day&quot; width=&quot;225&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6 months ago my client found exactly what she wanted at an amazing price. The best part for her was that she got to pick all the finishes, including exterior brick color.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We went to the &lt;strong&gt;Ryland Homes&lt;/strong&gt; design center where we met with a designer to put it all together. We looked at exterior brick, exterior paint colors, interior paint, flooring options, cabinets, granite counters, tile, grout colors, carpet, etc. This was also where the decisions were made for wiring upgrades for surround sound, security systems and lighting options. &amp;nbsp;I let her know what options were worth putting in now and which could wait.&amp;nbsp; It was a fun process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She had several inspections along the way. Yes, even on &lt;strong&gt;new construction&lt;/strong&gt;, inspections are important.&amp;nbsp; On the pre-drywall inspection at &lt;strong&gt;Princeton Crossing&lt;/strong&gt; we were able to see everything before the drywall went up. That's important so that you can make sure that duct lines aren't kinked and air flows easily. It also helps to see where the outlets will be and make sure you have them in the right places.&amp;nbsp; I used to work on site for &lt;strong&gt;new construction homes&lt;/strong&gt; and learned a lot doing that. &lt;strong&gt;Ryland Homes&lt;/strong&gt; did a really great job with smart planning and clean work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The finished product is a beautiful 5 bedroom, 3 full bath home on a slab for just over $296,000. The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining.&amp;nbsp; There's a formal dining room with graceful arched doorways and great trim work.&amp;nbsp; A guest room and full bath are conveniently located on the main floor. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The master suite upstairs has a built in window seat along an entire wall, adding a special touch.&amp;nbsp; The master closet is the size of many small bedrooms.&amp;nbsp; A frameless glass shower door and separate jetted tub complete the spa like master bath.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Princeton Crossing&lt;/strong&gt; is a swim tennis community with $600 a year Homeowner Association dues. There is&amp;nbsp;a junior Olympic pool, two lighted tennis courts, a tot lot, and a bath house/cabana.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Princeton Crossing&lt;/strong&gt; is just minutes from I-85, I-285, &amp;amp; Hwy 78. It's convenient to&amp;nbsp;shopping, dining, and recreational parks, including Stone Mountain Park.&amp;nbsp;Students at Princeton Crossing attend the schools in award-winning Parkview School district. Current new construction prices&amp;nbsp;range from the mid to upper $200's.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Buying a Foreclosure? Neighborhood Stabilization Program </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;So you want to buy a &lt;strong&gt;foreclosure &lt;/strong&gt;and would like some extra cash to do it? The &lt;strong&gt;Georgia Dream&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;NSP&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;Neighborhood Stabilization Program&lt;/strong&gt;)&amp;nbsp;was created to encourage the purchase of &lt;strong&gt;foreclosed&lt;/strong&gt; properties. The funds&amp;nbsp;are from&amp;nbsp;an allocation of federal dollars received by the Department of Community Affairs from the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The program provides &lt;strong&gt;$14,000 &lt;/strong&gt;to &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;eligible borrowers&lt;/span&gt; purchasing &lt;strong&gt;foreclosed properties&lt;/strong&gt; in eligible areas. Funds&amp;nbsp;are in the form of a second mortgage lien with no interest and no monthly payments, also known as a soft second.&amp;nbsp;The lien is released over a period of five years and six months. That means if you stay in that house for 5 and a half years, you don't pay it back. Funds may be used for required repairs and/or down payment assistance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This program began April 1, 2009 and all funds must be&amp;nbsp;used by June 30, 2010.&amp;nbsp; If you are a &lt;strong&gt;first time home buyer&lt;/strong&gt;, get the most for your money and purchase before December 1, 2009 for an additional &lt;strong&gt;$8,000 tax credit&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Apply:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All buyers must receive eight hours of in-person home buyer education/counseling provided by a HUD-approved housing counseling agency. Courses are not available on-line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Contact a Georgia Dream participating lender for pre-qualification and to begin the mortgage loan process.&amp;nbsp;Yes,&amp;nbsp;good credit is still important here. &amp;nbsp;Call me for a recommendation on a participating lender.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I buy a home anywhere in Georgia?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;No. You must purchase a foreclosed property in an area of greatest need which means an area that has a large inventory of foreclosures. Counties in metro Atlanta are included in this. For counties outside metro Atlanta please click &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcaloans.com&quot; title=&quot;Department of Community Affairs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are there income limits?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yes. For the counties of Dekalb, Cobb, Fulton and Gwinnett the income limits are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household of 1&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;$59,800&lt;img title=&quot;Georgia Dream&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/2/1/2/ar124051786521293.png&quot; height=&quot;120&quot; alt=&quot;Georgia Dream&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household of 2&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;$68,350&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household of 3&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $76,900&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household of 4&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $85,450&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household of 5&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $92,300&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household of 6&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $99,100&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household of 7&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $105,950&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household of 8&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $112,800&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For all other counties, please check &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcaloans.com&quot;&gt;www.dcaloans.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are only first time home buyers eligible for the Georgia Dream NSP program?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Applicants &lt;strong&gt;do not have to be first-time home &lt;/strong&gt;buyers and can&amp;nbsp;own other&amp;nbsp;real estate. However, the applicant must owner occupy the NSP financed property as his or her primary residence within 60 days of closing. Any rental income generated from the ownership of other real estate would have to be counted as household income for NSP qualification purposes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I am a first time home buyer and I use the Georgia Dream NSP&amp;nbsp;do I still qualify for the federal first time home buyer $8000 tax credit?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, if you purchase a home prior to December 1, 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I use other down payment assistance with this program?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No,&amp;nbsp;unlike the traditional Georgia Dream down payment programs, the Georgia Dream NSP cannot be combined with other down payment assistance programs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's next?&lt;/strong&gt; Contact a local Realtor, like me who knows these programs. If you are already working with an agent, ask them for the details. Full time educated Realtors should know about these programs. If not, contact me to be your &lt;strong&gt;Buyers Agent&lt;/strong&gt; and walk you through the home buying process. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.JenBowman.com&quot; title=&quot;Realtor in Decatur, GA &quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jen Bowman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Broker Associate&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Realtor &lt;/strong&gt;with Success Realty 404-456-5024.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Appealing Property Tax in Dekalb County GA </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Appealing property tax in Dekalb County GA - &lt;/strong&gt;This week I've been busy contacting all of my clients that bought a &lt;strong&gt;home&lt;/strong&gt; with me in 2009. The purpose of my call is to make sure everyone has filed for their &lt;strong&gt;homestead exemptions&lt;/strong&gt;. The deadline is March 1. It only needs to be done once and then it stays in force until the status changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A full 50% of the homes I sold in 2009 were &lt;strong&gt;foreclosures&lt;/strong&gt;. My clients got great deals. What does that mean as far as their property taxes go? It means that they could be seriously overpaying!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of my client's homes is assessed by &lt;strong&gt;Dekalb County&lt;/strong&gt; at&amp;nbsp;more than 30% over what she paid for it. So she was asking me how she can get that re-assessed. I pulled some info together and sent it to her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Dekalb County GA Real Estate&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/7/9/9/0/ar126660569309971.JPG&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;Dekalb County GA Real Estate&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's the same information for people who want to &lt;strong&gt;appeal&lt;/strong&gt; their &lt;strong&gt;property tax bill&lt;/strong&gt;. The following&amp;nbsp;is from the &lt;strong&gt;Dekalb County&lt;/strong&gt; Tax Assessor's office:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;How do I appeal?&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;If you wish to &lt;strong&gt;appeal the value of your property&lt;/strong&gt;, you may file a &lt;strong&gt;tax return&lt;/strong&gt; with the Property Appraisal Department between January 2nd and March 1st, at which time you may declare what you consider to be the fair market value of the property. This will generate a review of the value by the Property Appraisal Department; a notice of assessment change will be sent to you in late March or early April if the Board disagrees with your value. You will then have thirty (30) days to file an appeal if you continue to disagree with the assessment as set by the Property Appraisal Department. &quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's a link to the forms for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.co.dekalb.ga.us/PropertyAppraisal/forms.html#&quot; title=&quot;Dekalb County GA Real Estate Property Tax Return Form&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;real estate property tax return form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;For more information check out the &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.co.dekalb.ga.us/TaxCommissioner/faq.html#specialTaxexEmptions&quot; title=&quot;Dekalb County GA Tax Commissioner's Website FAQ's&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dekalb County GA Tax Commissioner's Site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Wide Angle Magnetic Camera Lens Review</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wide Angle Magnetic Camera Lens Review - &lt;/strong&gt;I'll start off by saying, I'm no expert when it comes to &lt;strong&gt;cameras&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;lenses&lt;/strong&gt;. I just knew that I wanted to be able to take &lt;strong&gt;wide angles&lt;/strong&gt; of rooms and &lt;strong&gt;real estate&lt;/strong&gt;. I also knew that I didn't want to buy another camera.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My camera is a &lt;strong&gt;Canon Powershot SD1100 IS Digital Elph&lt;/strong&gt;. I like that it's little and can easily fit in my pocket. I also like that it's easy to use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Late Friday afternoon I started doing a google search for &lt;strong&gt;wide angle magnetic lenses&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;I found a company called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adorama.com&quot; title=&quot;Adorama, the photography people&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adorama&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that sold them online.&amp;nbsp;For those that don't know what a magnetic lens is, it's a lens that attaches with a magnetic ring to the metal lens on your camera. No fancy equipment required.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I took a chance and ordered the large lens. It was $29.95 and shipping was $5.00. It's Tuesday and it arrived this morning by UPS. I thought that was pretty quick considering it was the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried it out today and these are the results. I am standing in the exact same spot with both of the following pictures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Shot with normal lens&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/0/6/7/8/ar126464654187601.jpg&quot; height=&quot;263&quot; alt=&quot;Shot with normal lens&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the picture with the wide angle magnetic lens attached.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Shot with wide angle magnetic lens&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/0/7/8/5/ar126464669658702.jpg&quot; height=&quot;263&quot; alt=&quot;Shot with wide angle magnetic lens&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is some fuzziness on the bottom right. If needed that could be cropped out and it would still give a wider shot that what I could get without the wide angle magnetic lens. I also tested it inside and was able to get a whole room in the picture. That is going to make real estate photos so much better. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Medlock Park Neighborhood in Decatur GA</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medlock Park&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;in Decatur GA 30033&lt;/strong&gt; is comprised mainly of brick and frame ranch style &lt;strong&gt;homes&lt;/strong&gt; built in the 1950&amp;rsquo;s and 1960&amp;rsquo;s. There are a few larger infill homes in the mix. Currently there are 3 homes on the market ranging in price from $218,000 to $249,000. Most of the homes are 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Some of the homeowners have found additional space in their homes by finishing out the attic space.&lt;img title=&quot;Medlock Park in Decatur GA&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/0/8/1/4/ar126455492941809.jpg&quot; height=&quot;123&quot; alt=&quot;Medlock Park in Decatur GA&quot; width=&quot;197&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recap of 2009 in &lt;strong&gt;Medlock Park&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;9 homes sold in Medlock Park &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;low price of $189,500 to a high of $290,000 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average days on market was 98 days &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average list price of $236K &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average sales price of $229K &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Medlock Park neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt; is on the north side of Decatur with Scott Blvd/Lawrenceville Hwy as its eastern boundary, North Decatur Rd as its southern boundary, Willivee Dr. as its western boundary and the Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve is its Northern boundary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Medlock Park Neighborhood in Decatur GA&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/3/6/0/3/ar126455542230631.jpg&quot; height=&quot;145&quot; alt=&quot;Medlock Park Neighborhood in Decatur GA&quot; width=&quot;225&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Medlock Park&lt;/strong&gt; community connects to &lt;strong&gt;University Heights&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;North Decatur Heights.&lt;/strong&gt; The actual lines seem to be a little blurred because tax records show a different picture than the signs within the neighborhood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hidden gem in &lt;strong&gt;Medlock Park&lt;/strong&gt; is a 28 acre &lt;strong&gt;Nature Preserve&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cshepherdpreserve.org&quot; title=&quot;Nature Preserve in Decatur GA&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has interactive walking trails. You can find it on Pinebluff Trail at the end of Woodtrail Lane.&amp;nbsp;(2580 Pinebluff Trail, Decatur, GA 30033). Take time to enjoy it on the next beautiful day we have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve in Decatur GA&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/6/3/7/0/ar126455684607368.jpg&quot; height=&quot;121&quot; alt=&quot;Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve in Decatur GA&quot; width=&quot;225&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DeKalb County&amp;rsquo;s Medlock Park&lt;/strong&gt; is also tucked in the neighborhood by the same name. The &lt;strong&gt;park&lt;/strong&gt; has 39 acres with ball fields, multi use courts, playground, picnic area and swimming pool.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Dekalb County's Medlock Park and Playground&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/3/9/1/9/ar126455714791938.jpg&quot; height=&quot;165&quot; alt=&quot;Dekalb County's Medlock Park and Playground&quot; width=&quot;225&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medlock Park&lt;/strong&gt; students attend DeKalb County&amp;rsquo;s &lt;strong&gt;Medlock Elementary&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;strong&gt;Shamrock Midd&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;le&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Druid Hills High School&lt;/strong&gt;. Medlock Elementary is within easy walking distance as it&amp;rsquo;s in the neighborhood at the end of Medlock Rd next to the park.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Close by, at the top of Medlock Rd off of North Decatur Rd, you&amp;rsquo;ll find:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.meltonsappandtap.com&quot; title=&quot;Decatur GA Pub&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Melton&amp;rsquo;s App and Tap&lt;/a&gt; bar and restaurant with outdoor seating&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pet Supermarket&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Natural Buzz, an Aveda Hair Salon&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Retreat Nails Studio &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Laundromat with giant size washers (think comforters and sleeping bags) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maddy&amp;rsquo;s BBQ is just across the 6 way intersection (live music nightly) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For homeowners at &lt;strong&gt;Medlock Park&lt;/strong&gt; medical care couldn&amp;rsquo;t be more convenient with &lt;strong&gt;DeKalb Medical Center&lt;/strong&gt; less than &amp;frac12; a mile and &lt;strong&gt;Emory University Hospital&lt;/strong&gt; about 1 mile away. Need Milk? Publix and Kroger Grocery stores are also just about a mile away.&lt;/p&gt;
