kentucky: Vacated Church I Sold Turned Into Something Good For Society! - 01/08/09 09:01 PM
In early 2008 a friend of mine that works at the vets office referred my name to a friend of hers that was looking to purchase a church. He called me from his home in Florida. I gathered pictures and information on a couple of churches he wanted info on and emailed them to him.
All the churches were priced really cheap. One of them was in good shape and was being sold by the former church members who had attended. Their families had attended this church for many years and were sad to have to sell it. They were being very particular to who … (2 comments)

kentucky: Online Real Estate Auctions - 11/18/08 02:11 PM
I haven't seen this before in my area. It has come to the attention of several other people in my area as well.
There are these little yellow signs, similar to the one here, in my neighborhood. They are advertising an online auction for a home that was foreclosed on. This particular home is a 3BR, 1BA, 1,100 sqft home that was sold a couple of years ago for $54,000. The home appears to be in good condition.
The company holding the auction advertises it as an online only auction. Their name is Williams and Williams Real Estate Auctions (www.WilliamsAuction.com). You must go to … (2 comments)

kentucky: Dissolve the city of Lone Oak, KY - 10/31/08 08:45 AM
In 1979, business owner Carl Ligon lead the move to incorporate a half-square mile area of Lone Oak, KY to avoid being annexed by the city of Paducah. The effort succeeded, however, the city hasn't been able to grow because of the same reason the city incorporated in the first place - neighboring residents don't want to be annexed and pay additional taxes.
Since the incorporation in 1979, Lone Oak residents have enjoyed their own police department, mayor, city commission and taxes. Now, residents are fed up with paying the taxes and say they are not receiving much in return or would rather go without.

kentucky: I paid my employees! Give me a star! - 10/25/08 10:26 PM
Meet Bruce Lunsford. Candidate for US Senate in Kentucky.
There's a TV and radio commercial here in Kentucky advertising Bruce Lunsford's (D) bid for the senate. He's running against incumbent Mitch McConnell (R).
One of the statements in Lunsford's ads says "He met payroll".
What idiot thought that up?
Doesn't every business owner across the country meet payroll? Does this make every business owner qualified for a position in the US Senate? I think not.
So you met payroll. Big deal! Did you manage to put your shoes on the right feet in the morning as well?

kentucky: Calls off of my web site - 10/16/08 01:18 PM
Like anyone, I am always tickled when I get a reply off my website. In the past 2 weeks I've gotten a couple of strange phone calls. But I was glad to have gotten them.
One call was from an insurance agent. She told me a gentleman asked her for an insurance quote on a home he had found on my web site. She called me to obtain some details about the home. Before I learned my web site was involved I told her I didn't have any idea what she was talking about. The home was an hour away from … (5 comments)

kentucky: Kentucky Governor, politics at it's best - 09/23/08 10:37 AM
This week Kentucky Govenor Steve Beshear (D), begain shutting down online gambling web sites. The list of web sites counts 141 domains that have been "legally" hijacked in the name of consumer advocacy. In reality, it's to complete an issue he's been fighting for - legalized gambling.
Why does this hit a cord with me? Gambling was a political issue during the last gubernatorial election. Steve Beshear stated repeatedly stated throughout his campaign that he WILL get gambling approved in the state of Kentucky. See this page for his praise from his casino supporters.
In Feb 2008, he lost his first attempt to get the voting … (0 comments)

kentucky: Ike passes through midwest - 09/14/08 02:36 PM
The remains of hurricane Ike passed just west and north of western Kentucky this morning. At 7:10am the power at my home went off. After a couple of hours the power came back on for a few minutes and went out again. Four hours later the power came for good.
I had to respond to a power outage downtown and check on my wife's store. The roof of her store has a rubber roof on it. The rubber roof was being so inflated it almost looked like a balloon. I thought the high winds were getting between the rubber and the … (0 comments)

kentucky: Master Commissioner's Sale - 08/25/08 10:11 PM
Today I went to the McCracken County Master Commissioner's Sale. It was held at 1:30pm inside the courthouse at the steps going upstairs. This was my first time attending one of these so when I had always heard someone saying "courthouse steps" I always thought they meant outside. Turns out it's inside.
Up for auction today were 11 properties. Four properties were removed from the list as a sale or something had enabled their removal from the list. Properties ranged from around $23,000 to $229,000. There were probably 30 to 40 people there. I noticed a couple of other agents there. I … (7 comments)

I've always wanted to attend one of these so I know the who, where, what and such. On August 25th at 1:30pm, two McCracken County special commissioners will hold special auctions at the courhouse to auction off real estate that has been foreclosed on. The properties are valued anywhere from $24,000 to $229,000 and come from a variety of lenders.

kentucky: Living Standards? What are those? - 08/08/08 02:11 PM
During my lunch break today I toured a home that was placed on the market yesterday. This home is a couple properties over from my own house. I considered purchasing it a couple of years ago. The home was in too bad of condition for me to purchase it and make repairs at that time. I was also interested in it for the reason of purchasing the property between my lot and that lot so I could clear the trees off and make my front yard much larger and add more value to my property.
Shortly after I didn't buy it 2 … (1 comments)

kentucky: Taking advantage of people's problems? - 07/11/08 08:44 AM
Recently, a developer here in Paducah, KY decided he didn't have the time to continue development of his new "subdivision". I use that term loosely because the project changed a few times. At one time it was planned to be residential and at some point changed into residential and commercial area for businesses and possibly a hotel.
This land is adjacent to interstate 24 and close to an onramp which obviously makes it more valuable. It's amazing that it's been undeveloped for so long.
After wranging with the neighbors over burning the trees and such that was left from clearing the land, the city got … (1 comments)
