October may be all about ghosts, goblins and pumpkins to some in Onslow County NC, but to many residents living in Hubert, Swansboro, Jacksonville or stationed at Camp LeJeune Marine base; it's all about the fabulous fall fishing! The fishing is at its best in the Fall. The water has cooled down and the fish are heading back to the inshore waters all along the coast of North Carolina.
The Fisherman's Post is a great website that concentrates on local fishing and offers advice/tips for the novice and pro fishermen
Where to find the best fishing spots
What kind of bait to use
The best time of day to fish
What kind of fish one can expect to catch
Calendar of Local Tournaments and Events
What about the weather you may ask? The answer is "PERFECTION"
So, grab your rod and reel, pick up some bait and head on down to Onslow County NC --the fish are biting and the weather is beautiful.
Once you get here, I know you will want to stay-- everybody does. Give me a call and I'll help you find the perfect home!
You may have noticed before, but it's a fact, I love to blog about real estate. It's good for my business, but I actually find it enjoyable too. In that vein, I would like to make it to this year's Blogworld and New Media Expo (including REBlogworld). Of course, these things cost money and there are expenses...blah blah blah. However, Alltop is sponsoring a contest to allow 3 lucky winners to attend this year's event.
I entered, but I need your help. First of all, I misread a rule, which has seriously put me behind the curve. I thought I was doing okay, but realized that the rule was rather specific and I needed to get moving - so I turn to you, the ActiveRain community for help.
The grand prize for the contest is entrance to the conference as well as hotel accommodations. With those two paid for, I can deal with the flights and food for the three days. I need to win this. Imagine how many blogs I'll churn out when I get back with all the new info I've acquired. Think of me as your Blogworld corespondent. I will report back to you - all you have to do is get me to the top! I don't know what it will take to get me there (I don't even know who's in the lead), but with the power of the ActiveRain and Twitter community, I'm willing to bet (Las Vegas - get it?) that I can win this!
Imagine how this will benefit the ActiveRain community as well! Having the power of 160K+ members pushing to help me accomplish this goal will certainly make people think that ActiveRain is the place to be.
Here's what I need:
First, reblog this post if you can. By spreading the word, there will be more opportunity for more people to act upon it. Put it in every category you can think of and make sure everyone of ActiveRain's members see it! I could care less about the points gained from the reblogs, so ActiveRain can pull the points - this is about getting me to Blogworld and REBlogworld.
Second, you need to retweet the information necessary in order for me to be counted. Visit MyAlltop page and at the bottom you will see a "retweet" button:
Click the retweet button. Click it whenever you have a few free seconds. Tell your friends to click it. Please don't sit there and click it 100 times in a row. I don't want to get the boot for "stuffing the ballot box." The contest ends at 8:00 am Pacific Time on October 1, 2009, so I need your clicks up until then. Let's get as many as we can and show everyone the power of ActiveRain, get me to Vegas, and let me bring back and share all that I have learned!
Please use the retweet button and have everyone you know retweet it too! This would be huge for me and I appreciate all the help I can get!
There's more to buying a home than just finding the one that has the right number of bedrooms, is in the neighborhood of your choice or located near school or work.
Here's four questions you should ask and answer:
Have you researched the market? Knowing what homes are selling for in the area you want to buy will help you understand and determine what you will have to spend to get the home you want and/or need.
Do you know how much house you can afford? A mortgage payment should not exceed more than 25% of yourgross monthly earnings. Mortgage payments that exceed 1/4 of your income could lead to financial troubles.
Do you have enough money for a down payment and closing costs? Down payments vary but a safe plan is 20% of the selling price. Closing costs range from 2% to 7%. The exception is a VA loan which requires no downpayment. If you qualify for a VA loan, by all means that is the way to go!
Is your credit report accurate? Incorrect information on your credit report can cost you more money in higher interest rates. Request reports from the three major national credit bureaus and reports mistakes immediately. Then, follow up and make sure mistakes are corrected.
So, are you ready? If so give me a call and let's get started.

Are you aware that some road/driving laws are unique to states? It's true, they are. If you are relocating to Camp LeJeune Marine Base, New River Air Station or the Naval Hospital at Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville North Carolina; here are some things you need to know:
Fender Bender Law
The "Fender Bender" law requires motorists to move their vehicles to the shoulder of the road following minor, non-injury crashes. If you don’t follow the law, you could face a $110 fine and court costs.
Move Over Law
Under the "Move Over" law, motorists are required to move over one lane, if possible, or reduce speed for stopped emergency vehicles with flashing lights on the shoulder of the highway, including public service vehicles with amber lights. Violating the law could result in a $500 fine.
Quick Clearance Law The "Quick Clearance" law centers on getting vehicles out of the roadway. It states that if law enforcement and NCDOT agree that a vehicle and its cargo pose a safety concern, they can move it by any means necessary without facing any liability.
NC Litter Law North Carolina law states it is illegal to dispose of litter on public or private property, unless you own that property. If you violate the law, you could face fines up to $200 and community service work.
Parking on Highways Parking on highways is prohibited.
Cell Phone Use by Drivers Younger Than 18 Drivers younger than 18 are prohibited from using a mobile telephone while driving except in the case of an emergency or when talking to a parent or spouse. Violators pay a $25 fine, but receive no driver license points, insurance surcharge or court costs.
Headlights Motorists are required to use their headlights from sunset to sunrise and when light conditions restrict visibility to 400 feet or less. Motorists are also required to use headlights while operating windshield wipers during inclement weather.
NC Helmet Law Helmets are required by law when riding on a motorcycle or moped. Children up to age 16 are required to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle.
Seat Belts All vehicle occupants including those in the back seat are required to wear seat belts. Front seat passengers who violate the law will receive a $25 fine. Back seat passengers will receive a $10 fine. Children up to age 8 and weighing less than 80 pounds must be secured in a safety seat while riding in a vehicle. Older children must transition to booster seats before graduating to an adult safety belt. Drivers who fail to properly secure their children face $125 in fines and court costs, as well as a two-point penalty on their driving record. For more information about seat belts and child restraints, visit www.buckleupnc.org.
Right Turn on Red Right turns at a traffic signal with a red light are permitted after a complete stop, unless otherwise posted. Left turns on red are not permitted.
Traffic Crashes Traffic crashes involving death, personal injury or property damage of $1,000 or more must be reported to the nearest law enforcement officer or agency. Failure to make this report may result in prosecution or driver license suspension.

Minimum punishment is a possible fine of up to $200 and a possible term of imprisonment ranging from 24 hours to 30 days.
