Virginia. Not Just a Pretty Face. - 06/30/11 08:30 AM
 

 
Virginia is not just a pretty face. CNBC just named the commonwealth as the number one home for business in the United States.
With low unemployment, low business taxes and policies that encourage entrepreneurship and business start ups, Virginia has been growing with intelligence, planning and creativity.
 
Even though we are awesome in the business realm, when folks find out that they are transferring to Northern Virginia, panic often sets in. " Aren't you the land of traffic congestion and non-stop subdivisions?", they worry. " What about the countryside...do you still have any?" they ask.

Want to Rent a Home in Fairfax County VA? Be Prepared to Work Hard. - 06/23/11 09:43 AM
Sometimes it is harder to rent a home in Northern Virginia than it is to buy one. Why? First there is a very small supply of move-in ready townhouses and single family homes for rent. (Apartments and condos are more readily available) Second, when you buy a home the seller only sees a loan approval letter from your mortgage company or bank. They do not see your credit score or how much money you make, nor do they see any referrals or lack thereof from previous real estate transactions you have been involved in.
So if a home seller gets 4 … (6 comments)
