What to Do Wednesday in New Bern
June 22nd, 2011 Categories: What's Happening in New Bern Today
Wednesday–time to do something new and different.
New Bern has so many activities to offer, especially outdoors. In 1996 a group of outdoor enthusiasts got together to discuss their love of the outdoors and that summer the New Bern Outdoor Adventure Club was formed.
Since then their 85+ membership has taken on kayaking, canoeing, rafting, cycling, hiking, camping, fishing, geocaching, walking, birding, disc golfing, and socializing.
Meetings are held the 3rd Tuesdays of each month at the West New Bern Parks and Recreation Center at 7:00pm in the front meeting room. Membership is only $10 per household per year. Previous experience in these activities is not required.
For more information call 252-639-2912, www.nboac.org or follow them on Facebook.
Follow my blog www.ncpropertiesonline.com every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and learn more about New Bern and the surrounding area Friday’s on the way.

School is out for summer!
Graduations have been held throughout our area and the heat is on! The weekend was beautiful–the days may have been hot, but the evening shade with a nice breeze was a real treat. But, if you wanted to get out of the heat, Bear Town Cinema 6 has opened (formerly Southgate Cinema 6) on Trent Road for business, and they are in the midst of renovations—can’t wait to see the finished product. New Bern has a very strong theatre and artistic community.
New Bern Civic Theatre at the Historic Athens Theatre featured Motown and More this past weekend. Excellent entertainment, but, if you missed this production, many more are planned for 2011. The Youth Theatre Workshop begins today and runs through June 24th.

How much house can I afford?
March 23rd, 2011 Categories: North Carolina Mortgage News
How do lenders determine how much you can spend on a home?
- Debt-to-income will tell us how much money you make and how much money is being spent. This tells the lender what payment you would be able to make each month.
Interest rates can greatly affect your loan amount and how much home you can afford.
But what determines interest rates?
– Type of mortgage, credit history, loan amount, and current market conditions.
Contact me today to find out how much house you can afford!
