Real Estate FAQ's | How Many Parking Spaces Will I Have?

Real Estate FAQ at MyMidtownMojo.comA question I?m often asked by condominium buyers is How Many Parking Spaces Will I Have?

It has been a ?standard? and a building code in the Atlanta Condo Market to have one parking space per bedroom. In other words, buy a 1-bedroom condo, get 1 parking space. Buy a 2-bedroom, get TWO parking spaces. Needless to say, for a couple, this could be a problem.

If you purchase a 1-bedroom and you BOTH have cars, you will need to look for an additional parking space. Where? Here are some options:

  • Other Condo Owners ? There may be an owner of a 2-bedroom that only has one car. They might be willing to rent out their other parking space on a monthly basis. Check with the HOA Property Manager, or if the building has a website, or bulletin board where such information can be found.
  • Purchase an Additional Space ? Some new construction condominiums will offer extra parking spaces For Sale during the early sales period. This may, or may not be a wise investment. You should not expect to ever get back what you pay for an extra parking space. I purchased one for $15,000 in 2007 when I bought my condo. I sold it in 2010 for $5,000. OUCH! But, if there is someone in the building that purchased like I did, and then wants to sell, this can be a great (and as my experience will tell you, cheap) way to get another parking space.
  • Lease a space off-site ? Depending on where your condo building is located, there may be surface parking lots, or even parking Where Can I Find an Extra Parking Space in Midtown Atlantagarages where spaces could be leased. There is some serious lost revenue opportunities in Midtown Atlanta for the renting of parking spaces. Here is a photo that includes the top floor of the AT&T Parking garage on 5th and West Peachtree Streets. I?ve only ONCE ever seen a car on that top floor. There has to be a few thousand dollars in lost revenue there!

When purchasing an Intown Atlanta Real Estate condominium, always be sure to ask How Many Parking Spaces Will I Have?

Mimi Tanner's Blog: Married, Single, Divorced, Widowed - What???

You're filling out a job application, or it's your first visit to a doctor, and you're handed the usual forms.

The trouble is, they all ask you to describe your marital status!

Here are the choices: ?Married, Single, Divorced, or Widowed.

What??

So, if you've been divorced, you can't check the Single box?

If you're widowed, hey, thanks for reducing this life tragedy to a check box on a piece of paper!!

One day, that question will join the ranks of the "not allowed" questions on forms!

They really leave off a lot of possibilities, too.

They should have a check box for:

* Married but planning my escape!

* Single, but secretly seeing a married person.

* Single, and until they pass gay marriage in my state, single, but really married.

* Divorced - YEARS ago. ?Why do I still get dealt the "divorced" card?? ?Please!! ?We need a statute of limitations here.

I'm sure you can think of some other possibilities!!

I read a newsletter that proclaimed, "Don't take relationship advice from someone who is not in a committed relationship!!!"

The person who wrote that is very young, but I have heard this from people who are old enough to know better!

Well, I'm single at this writing, and I give relationship advice. A lot of people have found wonderful committed relationships, marriages, and love because of reading my emails and books.

My current single relationship status has no bearing on my IQ, except possibly to improve it.

Oh, wait a minute, I'm not single. Not according to those forms. ?I'm supposed to check the "divorced" box, officially. ?Wow, that sounds so contentious and negative; it's like being branded! ? Whatever the answer, it's a damned nosy question that has absolutely no purpose - except for giving numbers-crunchers fodder for statistics, like the ones that say, "Of the marital status categories, married men are the happiest, and married women are the least happy." ?I love that one...

I'm not in love right now, but I do expect to fall in love again and get married. I'm sure when that happens, I'll mention it and even share a photo. But I don't plan to report every detail to the whole world to prove something. ?Good advice and information stands on its own.

Contrary to what some people think, you don't prove your worth by being in a relationship all the time.

Check the census and welcome to the new century: ?lots of people live on their own... and it's far from tragic! ?The?unhappily married people envy those who are free and single more than anyone because they know what they've got!

I see a lot of women who just want to grab on to any guy because they can't imagine life on their own.

Then I see other women who will welcome love when one special person becomes a part of their world. ?These women write me often: they know what love is and what it isn't, and they don't need to settle just so they have their "man badge" or their "Mrs. Degree" to prove to some outsider that they're desirable or loving. ?

Usually, they already GOT their Mrs. degree AND the T-shirt at least once before, when it was so ultra-important to get married before they turned 30.

If they marry again (and get the masters Mrs. degree?) they want to know that the T-shirt will fit and survive years of washings. ?They're really not freaking out about being single to please other people's ideas of what makes them acceptable!

It's understandable when people who are really young think this way.... in due time they too will learn about the?complexities of life (and of making and voicing negative judgments about people).

It's much better to go down your life path without striving to "find someone" just for the sake of being part of a couple.

I hear from women who are concerned about getting married because of their biological clock. ?But we really can't force marriage, even if we'd like it. ?Marriage for that reason would not really be marriage for the love of a particular person. ?

I believe in love. ?But love is highly personal. ?It's a lot more than "Married, Single, Divorced, or Widowed"!

THE RACE: Massachusetts is campaign target again

Once again, Massachusetts is in the cross hairs of a presidential race.

The Obama campaign this week pounced on Mitt Romney's record as governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007 after first attacking his private-equity business career.

Obama strategist David Axelrod was in Boston, where Romney's campaign is headquartered, on Thursday to slam Romney's record as governor.

"Romney economics didn't work then and it won't work now," he told a gathering. At one point a group of Romney supporters drowned him out.

Haven't we seen this movie before?

The attacks reprise assaults lobbed earlier this year by Romney's Republican challengers, which were basically reruns of charges aired in 2008, the first time Romney ran for president.

Massachusetts has produced more than its share of presidential contenders.

Sen. John F. Kennedy, D-Mass., was elected president in 1960. Brother Robert Kennedy, who was raised in Massachusetts but later represented New York in the Senate, was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 1968 when assassinated.

A third Kennedy brother, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., tried to wrest the Democratic nomination from President Jimmy Carter in 1980.

Massachusetts-born George H.W. Bush attacked Massachusetts tax-and-spend liberals ? his campaign called the state "Taxachusetts" ? in his 1988 victory over Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis.

Bush's oldest son, President George W. Bush, used some of the same arguments in 2004 re-election contest against Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, suggesting he was far left of most Americans.

The late Paul Tsongas, who also represented Massachusetts for a while in the Senate, ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992.

When Romney was elected in 2002, the state was in the midst of a deep recession.

Romney claims his policies helped end it. The Obama campaign claims he made things worse.

Sort of the same thing Romney is claiming Obama has done to the U.S. economy.

This 4D Puzzle of Washington DC Is Your Politickin' Deal of the Day [Dealzmodo]

When I was a baby boy who thought the Earth was flat, I wrongly assumed the Redskins and Bullets were from the state of Washington and not DC. When the truth was revealed to me, I felt horrible for the state. They were bigger! They were on the best coast! How could they get punked? How is there a Washington University in St. Louis? Yeah I know, G-dub and all but a Miami in Ohio? A California University in Pennsylvania? Stop confusing me! Or maybe I should stop confusing myself and build a luminescent 4D puzzle of Washington DC for $30 and memorize the map instead. -CC More »
