If you keep watching the price of gas and are concerned about how you might get to work…this is an exciting program that has continued to grow – and from a recent report – will expand to include more BIKE SHARE opportunities. (If you have never experienced our bath paths – you should check them out!!)
Across the U.S., more than 25 cities of various sizes have launched bike share transportation systems. Dayton’s bike share program will feature 22 strategically located stations, all within an approximate two mile radius of downtown Dayton. Each station will contain six to 10 bikes, totaling more than 200 bikes in the system. Customers — who range from one-day users to annual subscribers — unlock the bikes and may ride to any other station or back to the original location at the end of their trip.
Bike sharing offers several economic, livability, transportation, environmental and health benefits to the businesses, employees and residents in downtown Dayton and surrounding neighborhoods. Bike share programs add to urban vibrancy, are highly desired by young professionals, and greatly improve the connectivity of existing public transit by completing the “last mile” between a transit stop and a user’s final destination.
Now, make a plan to check out the bike paths and keep on PEDDLING!

Over the past several years, many people have gotten great deals on homes because of foreclosures. While the inventory of foreclosed homes in the market is not nearly what it was a few years ago, there are still many to be found. In fact, in some areas, the foreclosures from the 2008-2010 period are just now making their way through the court system and appearing on the market.
In the right situation, a foreclosure can be an excellent way to obtain your dream home at a much better price than you would expect. Buying foreclosures can also be an great way to acquire investment properties, as many foreclosures are duplexes, triplexes, and smaller single-family homes that can become lucrative rentals.
Even though foreclosed homes can be a good deal, they definitely carry their own issues and risks that buyers need to be aware of. Let’s break down a few of these and see if they should affect your decision on whether to buy the property or not.

Home Buying in Winter
NEW YORK (MainStreet) — So what if winter’s looming. Go ahead, buy a home!
Granted, buying a home in the dead months from December though March does not appeal to many people. But this year it might make sense, due to low mortgage rates and a lull in home price gains. A home on the market now might cost more in the spring as prices and loan rates drift up. (more…)
