lake mary: Lake Mary Homes for Sale - But buyers cant buy them - 09/19/09 08:28 AM
Lake Mary Homes are for sale, but buyers, especially first time home buyers cannot buy them. Why? Because investors are back in the market. The chosen method of payment for Lake Mary investors is Cash and in this market cash is KING. Many first time home buyers find themselves scrambling to take advantage of the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit, only to be meet with little inventory and heavy competition on those homes, generally beat out by an investor willing to pay cash for the home. Lowering the risk for most bank owned properties.

lake mary: Looking for missing money in Orlando or Lake Mary? - 02/04/09 04:19 PM
Ok so maybe the money isnt missing, but might be left making more money for the IRS if you missed any tax deductions. Don't leave it up to chance and do your own 1040. With all the new tax laws and incentives out there for people who have recently purchased or home or sold a home, it makes sense to consult a CPA.
If you live in the Orlando or Lake Mary area call Gail Joubran, CPA. She has over 25+ Years of tax experience, estate planning and trust and worked for many years as an internal auditor. If you or … (2 comments)

After all these years Lake Mary High school is getting a pool. Why didn't they have a pool when I went there hmmm?

It's a $2 million pool that is to be used by the school and the public. It's suppose to help spur the economy.Not sure how that is going to spur things. Look at a majority of the homes in the immediate area … (5 comments)

lake mary: Your pet needs a vacation too.... - 10/17/08 04:40 PM
Often times when we go on vacation we feel bad for leaving our four legged children behind. I know I always felt bad taking my cat to the vet to be boarded for the week. I wondered how miserable it must be to be stuck in a cage for a week when you are used to the freedom of the outdoors or ruling the roost.  My pets always seemed to be happy to see me but at the same time pissed off at the fact they were placed in a non happy place.

Well the good news came today that the Senate has passed the new HR bill that will also for Down Payment Assistance Programs like Nehemiah to stay around.
