Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
If you are a first time home buyer or someone who has not owned another principal residence at any time during the previous 3 years prior to purchase you may be eligible for the 
home is contingent on the findings of your home inspection. You should have the home examined top to bottom to make sure that the biggest investment you will ever make is not going to come tumbling down around you the very first year after you move in. You should shop for your home inspector as you would for a physician, attorney or accountant. You want someone who you can trust, who knows what they are doing and excels at it and more importantly has the license to do the inspection. This inspection will tell you about the need for any major repairs or problems with the structure itself. Once you have all the facts 
about this home you can decide based on the home inspector's report if this is still the home for you. Is it a good solid structure? Are the repairs too excessive? Does it flood and how bad is it? Does the electrical system need to be updated? These are just some of the things that may come up that could change your mind about purchasing a home after the inspection. A full report will cover the roof to the basement as well as the water and septic systems. 
Realtor will see to it that the process goes as smoothly as possible and before you know it you will be headed toward moving day!
There is now a new website that will provide information about sex offenders living within a 2 mile radius of an address that you enter into the site. You may also sign up for email alerts to let you know when an offender moves into that radius around your entered address. Currently on the state site when you search for offenders you are searching by zip code and you are not quite sure exactly where the offenders are falling in the area. This site will narrow their location down for you to a more specified area. Being able to sign up for the email alerts is a big advantage as well so you won't have to check the sites on a daily basis any more.
