  I am finding myself in uncharted waters when it comes to closing a transaction right now.  Banks are giving buyers a harder time it seems.  Are you seeing it?  Hidden fees that you are not familiar with?It seems like everyone is having a harder time so therefore trying to make up deficient with additional fees.  I have just been wondering if it is the lenders, originators, attorneys, inspectors that I am working with or not.Share your thought with me please.Business is picking up right now.Ginger of Southport 08/30/2016

You may already know how popular Calabash, NC, is among new retirees. Many people relocating somewhere south put their crosshairs on Calabash and never look back. That won’t come as any big surprise if you take a look at the available Calabash homes for sale and how affordable they are. People moving down from the north or the Midwest are thrilled to discover the cost of living in North Carolina is just so much less than where they were living and I don’t just mean the price of Calabash homes for sale either.

  I must tell you that I am so excited about my "Get Healthy Challenge.  I have joined a Gym and I am working out for about an hour a day.  I am enjoying the rowing machine, the stationary bike and the treadmill.  Just to be up out of my chair and doing movement feels so very good.  I am super charged right now and I do hope that this does not wear off. My Goal is to climb a rope that is attached to the ceiling of the Gym.  It has big knots on it so that you have a place to hold on with your feet.  When I can do that, I will feel a great accomplishment.  Another goal is to be able to walk for 3 miles with out giving out.  I have no stamina right now at all. I want to do this for ME so that I can keep up with the Grandchildren..   Getting healthy in 2013 Ginger Of Southport   01/31/2013
