Come see why so many people are loving our city.
When I travel, I more times than not get the question about us being layed back, a bit slower, or even naturally lazy, all beacuse we speak slowly..... What people don't understand unless you live here .....Southerners have love affairs with words..
We speak slower because our "love of the " that we can't stand to part with them. We caress them, massage them, polish them and linger over them lovingly before allowing them to go on their way with a lilt and an inflection found nowhere else in the world.
I'm told by many, it's because we have a habit of taking a sip of the " elixir of life " with every word and sentence. Who know's .....what I do know , I love this place and the wonderful people who make the place I live so great.
Mobile is ranked #1 (forbes) as the city with best job/income growth in America for the next 5 years. In laymens terms, Mobile's leaders got the infrastructure in place that IS NOW ramping up the economic growth in the city.
A trade magazine for economic development put Mobile at the verge of adding over 55,000 jobs over the next 7 years.. and most of those will pay over $35,000 annually according to their report with over 73,000 moving into Mobile in that same period. Personally I think Mobile could literally see its population double in 7 to 10 years as if the economy continues to worsen, people will flock to cities that have job opportunities as Mobile is becomming recession-proof.
ThyssenKrupp AG of Dusseldorf, Germany, has chosen north Mobile County for a steel mill now valued at $4.billion The Alabama site, which is near Mount Vernon and on the Tombigbee River, was chosen over a site along the Mississippi River near Convent, La.
"This is a game-changing decision for Mobile, Alabama," Mobile Mayor Sam Jones said "We are no longer living on potential - we are living up to it. This plant will have a tremendously positive impact on our citizens for years to come."
If the Air Force contract holds up, and Northrop Grumman and its European partner EADS are allowed to proceed, Barnidge said the employment payoff for Mobile and Pensacola could be enormous.
"The economic impact in Alabama and Florida is expected to be about 6,500 high-paying jobs," he said. "And the spin off jobs from suppliers and other services associated with the assembly plant in Mobile could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars for Northwest Florida.

The Facts about "The Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005" (through 2008)
GO ZONE: What is it? When Does it End?
GO ZONE: When does it end?
On any Properties You Purchase by December 31, 2008 in Above-shown Counties of the State of Alabama
GO ZONE: What is it?
The Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 provides special tax incentives to spur rebuilding in the areas devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The act is commonly referred to as the "GO Zone Act."
The Alabama Gulf coast is eligible for federal benefits under the GO Zone Act.
Key GO Zone incentives
Congress created the Gulf Opportunity Zone (GO Zone) to promote reinvestment and recovery. Key provisions are:
· 50% bonus depreciation is available for investments in equipment, non-residential real property or residential rental property.
· Net Operating Loss carry-back for qualifying losses extended from 2 years to 5 years.
· Increased deduction for qualifying tangible personal property for small businesses.
· New markets tax credits increased for qualifying investments in low-income communities.
· Increased qualified rehabilitation credits for historic structures.
How does the GO ZONE work? An example doing GO ZONE math!
AN EXAMPLE:
Buy a Home for $650,000.00
Subtract (generously) 10% for land value, leaving you $585,000.00
You may take depreciation of $292,500.00 in addition to other allowable deductions
If you are in a 35% tax bracket, your NET NET NET savings of money not paid in income taxes would be: $102,375.00. This equates to 37.5% of your purchase price!
GO ZONE: Can I Qualify? EVERYONE CAN QUALIFY!**
The difference is HOW.... Do you have ACTIVE or PASSIVE income?
What does that MEAN TO YOU?
According to the IRS, you must spend 500 hours a year involved in the management of your property. You may HIRE A MANAGER!
**DISCLAIMER:
Most people will qualify for the GO ZONE depreciation. That being said, even though you may qualify, you may have different PASSIVE laws that apply to you. We make no warranties, promises, or guarantees of how this legislation will apply to your specific situation

Keep copies of all earnest money checks and proof that the checks have cleared your bank. Provide this documentation to your lender so that you get proper credit on your closing documents. Notify your mortgage company of the final sales price at least five days prior to your closing. If your sales price changes from the original contract, the lender will need copies of all addendums and change orders for the upgrades. The final closing documents cannot be prepared until both builder and buyer agree to the final sales price. A final inspection is required on all new construction before the loan is closed. The appraiser must inspect the property to ensure that it was completed to the original plans and specifications. The mortgage company schedules this inspection. The home must be COMPLETE and READY TO MOVE-IN before the appraiser can perform the final inspection. The charge for the final inspection is $100 which will be included in your closing costs. If the home is not complete when the appraiser goes out, he will have to inspect it again which will be an additional $100 charge. Please consult with your lender as to the best date for the final inspection. Your home must be completed before closing. This includes landscaping, pool, fence, etc. If you would like to arrange to escrow for these improvements and close before they are complete, notify us at the time of locking in your rate. Only a few investors will allow for escrow holdbacks. Bring a cashier's check made out to the title company for your closing cost Tell your lender if your salary or other compensation has changed from what has been noted on your loan application. Inform your lender if your address changes from what appears on your original loan application. They must complete rental and mortgage verification for all of your residences within the last two years. Obtain homeowner's insurance with minimum coverage equal to the amount of your total loan or the replacement value of the house. Call your lender with your agent's name and phone number at least 10 days before closing. Keep documentation (or a "paper trail") on any large deposits into your account. A "paper trail" should include copies of all paperwork necessary to prove a financial transaction: copies of all checks, deposit slips, loan paperwork, forms to liquidate assets, etc. Notify your lender if you move funds from one account to another and provide a "paper trail" on any transactions. Do not acquire any additional debt or make any large purchases on existing credit without first consulting your lender. For example: purchasing a car or buying appliances for your new home will change your debt to income ratios. Do not change jobs without consulting your lender. A change in compensation may affect your ability to qualify. Buyers must have a two-year history of bonuses and/or commissions to be counted as income. Lenders may verify employment on the day of closing as a quality control check. Do not co-sign with anyone to obtain a line of credit or make a purchase. The payment will show up on your credit report as an additional debt. Do not negotiate your contract with an allowance and expect to get money back at closing. An allowance can be used only to pay closing costs or reduce the sales price. |
