PCS Orders to the U.S. Naval Academy? - 03/29/11 11:59 AM
If you're headed to the U.S. Naval Academy in the coming weeks for duty, you'll want to check out this beautiful townhome that just went on the market.  It's located off Forest Drive, only a few minutes from The Yard.  Best of all, it's so affordable at $234,900 AND you may be eligible for the $8,000 tax credit extension available to military personnel who purchase by April 30 and close by June 30.
 
 
This home would be a great choice, whether you're military or not... whether you work at the U.S. Naval Academy or anywhere else in the region.  … (6 comments)

On the other hand, a procrastinating home buyer will benefit from taking advantage of today's buyer's market:  … (17 comments)

Reminder Regarding the New Questions & Answers Group - 03/04/11 09:43 AM

Bob Stewart challenged Activerain members to Never Answer the Same Question Twice, and the response was huge.  A few weeks into it, I started a new group where we could continue to post our Q&A posts after the challenge was behind us, and I called it the
Real Estate Questions & Answers Group
 
There are only 23 members in the new group, and I'm betting that's because you don't know about it. 
We could actually take Bob's challenge a little farther and not only "never answer the same question twice" - we could link to the answer provided in … (18 comments)
