How Long Do I Have To Put Up With Construction on Henley Road in Lake Asbury Green Cove Springs, Florida???  Construction started in December 2011, so right now, we are three months into it. I have to admit, orange is NOT my favorite color at all, so I'm already tired of seeing the orange cones. :) The contract for this project is for two years, but the construction company is really pushing for a year and 6 months. I'm pushing for that too! If you're curious or you're just nosy like I am, and want to know what they are doing, the Clay County Florida Gov't website has a drawing of the plans.           There have been changes made. Instead of a median as you will see in the drawings, there will be an open center lane. Also some of the pond locations have changed. If you want more info, y... 03/30/2012

Lake Asbury, Green Cove Springs, Florida Lake Asbury offers multiple lifestyles, which is different than most cookie cutter neighborhoods. If you're looking for waterfront homes, there are 3 lakes, with about 430 properties. One lake (Lake Ryan) is for paddle boats and canoes, the other two lakes, (Lake Asbury & South Lake) you can enjoy boats and jet skis. Only the lake owners have access to the boat ramps on these two lakes.  There are also properties zoned for horses for the equestrian folks. What all the lots have in common are some elbow room. Some properties start at 1/4 acre, but those are rare, the majority are 1 acre or more, some even at 5 acres and up.         Inside the Lake Asbury neighborhood is the local fire dept, that's gotta make you feel a little better, knowing those... 03/12/2012

    In this post we are going to outline 3 big do’s and don’ts to remember while going through the USDA home buying process in Florida. The items outlined below actually apply to all home loans (FHA Home Loan, Conventional Loans, etc ) not just USDA home loans.   First we will highlight the things you DO NOT want to do while going through the USDA application/home buying process.   1. Do NOT open any new credit account. That new car purchase or furniture purchase will have to wait until your home purchase is closed and final.  Doing something like this can change many variables in your USDA pre approval. This includes your qualifying debt to income ratios (how much house you qualify for) credit score, etc. Not only can the new debt impact your credit scores, but also the new credit scor... 10/05/2011
