Cobb Real Estate Blog

If you have a college aged student attending college here in Cobb County or if they are off attending school somewhere else, I have found a four and a half minute video that I want you to watch. It’s from The Today Show, and it talks about buying a house or a condo for your child and then having them live in it with some friends. If the numbers work (and they should work to your advantage before you decide to move forward with anything like this) your child could live rent free during his/her college days. And even better yet, once your child graduates and moves on, you can sell the house for a nice profit.

If you have any questions about buying a home around Kennesaw State University, or any other Atlanta area college or university, please give me a call. I can also answer any questions on this topic if your student is heading out of state for their education.

Have you ever wondered what a mortgage rate rise of say 0.750% would do to your monthly payments? Well, you may be surprised to see that it could cost you $40,000.

Firefighters will join police officers, teachers and emergency medical technicians in a program aimed at revitalizing distressed urban communities by allowing them to purchase government owned property at half the appraised value. The program is called “Good Neighbor Next Door” and by allowing members of these groups to purchase foreclosure homes at this discounted rate federal housing authorities believe urban communities can be reborn and begin to thrive once more.
