Changes in Garbage Collection In Jefferson Parish LA. A new policy is taking place in collection of garbage in Jefferson Parish. Up until now the collection of garbage has been bi-weekly. If your collection falls on a holiday your trash will not be picked up. With this holiday season we will see our garbage collection day be the next regular collection day. In the past your trash would be picked up within two days of the holiday. Jefferson Parish implemented this policy as a cost saving measure.  You may bring your trash to the Parish drop sites: Metairie 400 David Dr.Marrero, 6250 Laplaco Blvd.Meadowbrook, Wall Blvd.Lafitte, Treasure Street

That is what I am calling Monday November 30th. We have several closing on that day. Several first time home buyers have taken advantage of the Tax Credit. Many have not. My real concern is that the upcoming holiday may throw off someone closing. If you did not take advantage of this tax saving not to worry a new plan is in place. Not as good in some measure but there is always a BUT. The (but) includes repeat home buyers. To find out more about of the new tax credit, real estate inventory or about financing; email for information.

Do Not Call List 888-382-1222 It appears in the last month I have received on both my cell phone and home phone a call from telemarketers. I do not want to consolidate my bills or purchase anything. Please stop calling. After you tell the marketers and ask to be taken off their list. Well a few hours go by and the phone rings, same firm AGAIN. Try this call 888-382-1222 and register the phone. It takes about 30 seconds to do.

    LSU A way to await an LSU football game on the LSU grounds is to play a round of golf. The LSU Golf course is challenging and located near Tiger stadium. The coarse offers 18 holes of pure fun. In the background is the LSU Tiger stadium. In addition to the 18 holes there is a Pitch and Putt Course. The course is a nine hole Par 3. The Par 3 is great for beginners, juniors and experienced golfers. The yardage varies so your short game will benefit. In addition, they have a putting green, driving range and pro shop. The Men's LSU GOLF team will begin its season on Sept. 27 2009. GO TIGERS!LSU LSU LSU   LSU Golf Course (225) 578-3394 (225) 578-8502 Fax

First Time Home Buyer $8000 Ends  November 30 2009 Now that some of my buyer have closed on their first homes, the fun stuff begins. First Time Home Buyers will have to attach Form 5405 with their income tax this spring. The form seems straight forward but I always recommend the use of a qualified tax professional when it comes to these matter. Take a look at the form for the information you will need to support your use of the form. Link to the First Time Buyer Credit Form

Louisiana Fair Plan One of my personal investment properties in Kenner, LA suffered damage due to Hurricane Gustavo in August. After several claims with the Louisiana State Fair Plan, I have found the best way to deal with them is to be proactive. My latest claim dealing with Hurricane Gustavo is almost finish. Last week the first week in December I receive my first check from the insurance company. Approximately 100 days since the claim occurred. There was some redirection as you may know; now the check needs to be endorsed by my bank. After receiving the break down for the lost I notice my rental loss income was not included. I had provided a copy of the rental agreement to the insurance adjuster. On a follow up call they responded that they had not received the copy of my rental agre...

Kenner Condos, A Market Update! Stay with the Best for future value!       The Kenner Condo market attractive to condo buyers as the prices are very reasonable and the commute times to Metairie and New Orleans are not bad.  There are however two distinct markets with one much much preferred over the other for appreciation and quality of life.  The complexes built as condos are the best way to go.  The conversions are much more problematic and their future value unknown.  The current trend is down!      The Avante Garde Condos, Rue Chardonnay, Cobblestone Village and Bordeaux Village are my favorites over the many recent condo conversions from apartments.  This group were built as condos as thus have common areas, gated entry and mature condo associations that add value.        The value...

Bourdeaux Village Condos-Kenner, Actually fee simple townhomes!        The Bordeaux Village town-homes in Chateau Estates in Kenner are not technically condos but fee simple town-homes.  Your fees are very inexpensive since they do not take care of insurance and upkeep of the exterior of the units.  You actually own the land as well.  We still however think of them as condos.       Bordeaux Village has always been popular for a couple of reasons.  The idea that they are in a residential neighborhood and have plenty of space; they do not look like your normal Kenner condo development.  The low fees were an attraction but in the end you pay for your own upkeep and insurance.      The units are spread out giving that quiet neighborhood feel.  Being 28 years old the tree and scrubs are very...
