Drop Metal Unique Metal Objects A Somewhat Local Business, Huntsville Alabama This post may not have a lot to do with Real Estate, but it does show if you are good at and care about what you do do in life...word gets around...I'm just passing the word around,. I say somewhat local because Drop Metal was located in Lowe Mill here in Huntsville Alabama, but that location didn't allow for metal fabrication so Drop Metal moved to Tennessee which is just across the Alabama border an easy commute. Micah Gregg & Kacie Lynn (above) are striving to and succeeding at making a connection between art and product design, with the view that quality is valued over quantity.  From House Numbers and Signage to Furniture Drop Metal can add something special and set you apart from the norm.

U.S. Space & Rocket Center Celebrating Armed Forces Week Huntsville AL The number one tourist attraction in Alabama is the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama.  Like many other attractions in Huntsville the U.S. Space and Rocket Center invites all military personnel and their immediate families to attend the Museum free of charge.  This also includes the current Mammoths & Mastodons  exhibit. If you asked most people where the U.S. space program began they might say Cape Canaveral, Florida or Houston Texas, but that would not be accurate.  While those places certainly hold a place in history regarding our nations space program, Huntsville Alabama is where it all really began when Dr. Werhner von Braun arrived in 1950.  Rockets that put our first satellite into space and r...

I'm Of Thinking Renting, Why Should I Buy Instead Of Renting A Home With the advantages that a buyer has in today's market it just doesn't make sense in my opinion to rent.  You can actually buy a home now in most instances for less monthly payments than renting.  Of course if you are in a job with a high potential for moving or relocation then renting may be a good option for you. Renters have the option generally of not being tied to a home and can move relatively quick.  Home or yard maintenance usually is not an issue, however, renters don't always have the option of decorating as they wish, everything must be cleared through the property management or rental office...there is no sense of permanence and there are no tax advantages. Homeowners on the other hand own their home and can...

What Exactly Are Closing Costs?  Great question and the answer to what costs apply to you really depends on what kind of loan you are applying for or if you're paying cash.  There are buyers and sellers closing costs and they are essentially the costs associated with the purchase or sale of a home.  You may also look at closing costs as fees associated with obtaining a mortgage.   Who pays each cost or fee varies by custom or state and a your Realtor or lender will be able to answer that question. The quick answer to how much the closing costs will be, at least in here in Northern Alabama is 2%-5% of the purchase price of the home.  Remember, if you're paying cash, there are fewer fees. Some typical closing costs that you will see that are considered negotiable closing costs (before a c...

Is This A Safe Neighborhood? That question is as ambiguous as it is difficult to answer and one I do not attempt to answer.  First of all what "safe" means to me could be and most probably is entirely different than your idea of what "safe" is.  To some folks "safe" is a gated community with 24 hour guard house.  To others "safe" may mean you can leave your house unlocked while out running errands.  My blanket statement is:  If that is important to you, you should call the local police department and ask questions about the neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods.  Another really good way to get a feel for any community you are considering relocating to is simply drive the neighborhood at different times of the day.  Knock on a few doors...who better to learn from than the neighbors!...
