The brand new National Infantry Museum will have its grand opening June 19th, 2009. General Colin Powell will be on hand to dedicate the 85 million dollar facility sitting on 200 acres.
This is a world class museum built to honor the men and women who have fallen defending our country. It features a beautiful IMAX theatre, world class museum, several exhibits including the feature exhibit "The last 100 yards" which uses cast figures of real infantry soldiers along with the Huey Helicopter and the Bradley fighting Vehicle to depict scenes of taking of the last 100 yards in Battle.

100% financing is still available in Columbus GA!

If we listen to the news we would think that there is no financing available and that a buyer must have 25% down to finance a home. This is just not true! There are still several programs that will help you buy a home with 0% to 3% down. Especially if you are a first time home buyer or have limited income or if you are in a service industry like Military, School Teacher, or Nurse. Here are some examples of possible loans that may allow you a minimum down payment.
1) VA loan for military families - 100% financing with just reasonable credit requirements
2) FHA loan - 97% financing with reasonable credit
3) Georgia Dream - help with down payment if you fall into a lower income bracket, are a school teacher, police, or nurse. Ask us about this…

$7500 Tax Credit for First Time Home Buyers
Monday, December 1st, 2008 at 11:05am. 1769 Views, 2 Comments.
The title is correct! This is a first time home buyer tax credit - not a deduction - but an actual credit on your taxes. If you owe $0 on your taxes otherwise you would actually get $7500 back to do with as you please. You could pay off a loan or credit cards or spend it on furniture for your new house. If you buy a house between Apirl 2008 and July 2009 and have not owned a home in the last 3 years you are probably eligible. I do see this as a great thing but there are several stipulations you should be aware of before you get too excited. It is a credit but there are strings attached!
1) It is really an interest free loan. 2 years after you receive the tax credit you must start paying it back at the rate of $500 per year for 15 years. This…

What is the Best Strategy for Real Estate Investment for Columbus Georgia?
1) Find a home that would make a great flip.
2)Do the base things that are important like a new roof or paint now.
3)Rent the home out until prices recover.
4)Complete the flip once prices recover.
Why do I think this is a good strategy now?
1) Lots of available properties at below market prices.
2) Lots of great economic news in Columbus right now like the influx of troops from the BRAC growth plan on Fort Benning in 2009 - 2011. KIA plant locating nearby and projected spin off businesses. AFLAC expansion, Cessna expansion, etc.

Looking for some new tricks? The Columbus area is full of places to learn some.
You can explore space at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center, treetops at the treetop trail at Oxbow Meadows, or flowers, vegetables, and butterflies (oh, my) at Callaway Gardens.

Callaway Gardens - a 13,000 acre resort is my top pick.

Columbus Ga - One of Top 10 places to Raise a Family
Monday, July 14th, 2008 at 3:18pm. 765 Views, 0 Comments.
Best Life magazine ranked the top 100 best places to raise a family. Columbus Georgia came in at #4! The ranking was based on things like schools, parks, museums, pediatricians, cost of housing, commute times, and other factors that contribute to the quality of life for your family.
Columbus is a perfect size town to me. It has all the amenities that you can find in most cities like shopping, restaurants, theater, and sports but you can still drive all the way across town in about 30 minutes. This gives us big city amenities with a small town feel.
I am sure that one of the factors contributing to our high ranking was the access to so many parks and the access to the river and lakes in Columbus. It really is a great place to live and work.
Top 10 Reasons we like to live and work in Columbus Ga
Sunday, July 13th, 2008 at 11:37am. 720 Views, 1 Comments.
1) Small town feel with big city amenities - Columbus has grown to a size that supports the theatre and world class shows like we have at the River Center or the Springer. We have minor leagues sports along with great restaurants and shopping. We really have all the amenities of a big city but you can drive all the way across the city in about 30 minutes. We think this is a perfect size.
2) Location, Location, Location - We are about 1 hour from Atlanta Airport or 1 and 1/2 hrs from downtown Atlanta and all that has to offer. 3 and 1/2 hours from the beach. 2 and 1/2 hours from the mountains of North Georgia and 5 minutes from the river. There is a lot to do and see close by.
3) Industry Growth - It always seems good to be in a place where things…
