The weather here is gorgeous and the fishing is even better. I am writing to fill everyone in on the news here at Inner Banks Living. With all the buzz about the 'down' real estate market we still have had an enormous amount of interest in our properties. This is due to the savvy buyer taking advantage of the market. The reason for such interest lies in the geographical area. Waterfront is the type of property that creates its own market and controls itself by supply and demand. You have heard the saying “They're not making anymore of it.....” This is very true and all the people who have the ability to buy now will be putting themselves in a very lucrative position when the upswing of the market starts. The real estate market just like any other market will rebound.</div> <bR> <div> For several months now we have been receiving calls and emails from our friends & past investors wanting to know about any opportunities that have come available for land in eastern NC on the water. Well, just so happens we have an inventory list waiting for the shrewd investor. We are currently offering our newest community called The Preserve. The Preserve is an upscale community with a very intimate setting for privacy and features Charleston style homes. We are well underway on the construction and now is the time to buy before the construction is complete, this is when you save the most money.</div> <bR> <div> The roads have been cut, gravel put down as the contractors are building the road base and all the utilities are in. The 10 slip marina has already been completed and all the lots have been surveyed and are guaranteed buildable. This community offers all the charm one could want in a community and is offered at just the right price.</div> <bR> <div> This brief blog entry is a great way to tell you about Inner Banks Living & The Preserve since it is often hard to make the trip down. We have emailed our customers before telling them about a featured home site or community and the properties have all sold within days of being emailed. I wanted to give you the opportunity to take advantage of these home sites before they have all sold. Call us now to discuss what opportunities are right for you. You can reach us at our office at 866-375-3990, or you can contact us by email <A HREF="contact_us.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Us"><U>right here</U></A>. </div> <bR> <div> I look forward to hearing from you and helping get you one step closer to your goals.</div> <bR> <div> Sincerely,</div> <bR> <div> Wendy Lovelace</div> <div> Director of Sales</div> <div> Inner Banks Living</div> <div> Office: 866-375-3990</div> <div> Mobile: 252-474-9970</div> <bR> <div> <B>---------------------------------------</B></div> <bR> <div> Message From the President</div> <div> RE: Update and video</div> <div> April 2, 2008</div> <bR> <div> I wanted to give everyone an update as Inner Banks Living is off and running hard and I wanted to give everyone an update on our progress. I would like to welcome Wendy Lovelace as my new Director of Sales. Wendy can be reached at 919 569 0631 and I will have a 800 number soon as well. Wendy has been highly successful at marketing and sales in the Land business and she will be responsible for coordinating sales events and internal listings. She will also be hiring a 'team' that provides a solid coverage model for all of the projects we have underway.</div> <bR> <div>  </div> <div> 1. The Preserve Phase 1 (10 Lots) is almost all sold out and the Preliminary Plat for Phase 2 (8 additional lots) was approved this month by Pamlico County. The road is 60% in, the 10 slip marina is all but complete and the stone entrance will be super high end. I also have plans to develop an 80 acre parcel across Broad Creek and call it The Estates at The Preserve (100 additional lots possible/in the plans, not guaranteed as of yet) and possibly do a clubhouse, tennis courts pool and Boat Taxi. I also plan on building a spec home in The Preserve and going vertical ASAP. Please watch the video below and you can see firsthand what our walkway for the 10 slip looks like. It is all but complete now.</div> <bR> <div>  </div> <div> 2. Inner Banks Living has over 10 waterfront and 2 non-waterfront subdivisions in the works. They are located in the heart of the Inner Banks in places like Bath, Greenville and Oriental. More information about these new subdivisions will be on this site soon.</div> <bR> <div>  </div> <div> 3. Inner Banks Living is committed to video, cable advertising and the Internet. We are running cable adds in over 5 counties and expanding our marketing efforts to The Raleigh Durham Triangle through use of billboards and cable advertising.</div> <bR> <div>  </div> <div> 4. Inner Banks Living has appointed Mike Spickler and Mitch Lask to spearhead our construction efforts in our communities. There needs to be a theme in each community and these two individuals bring a lot to the table to insure our communities are 'top notch'.</div> <bR> <div>  </div> <div> 2008 is the year of positioning the investment portfolio by buying 'great properties'. North Carolina is the hottest market in the country and the growth will continue to accelerate when the overall market picks up.

I enclosed and article that mentions the plans for a Mega development right across the river from New Bern, North Carolina. It is an interesting project and just one example of the some of the future plans for the Inner Banks region. This project and other notable projects in and around the Pamlico and Beaufort County region further demonstrate how U.S. and foreign investment are targeting North Carolina. There has never been a better time to invest in North Carolina. Many large investment groups from all over the Globe are now investing in North Carolina leveraging the weakness in the U.S. Dollar and taking advantage of the low pricepoints. Imagine buying an already discounted real estate asset at 50 cents on the dollar. Smart money is coming in and I suggest taking advantage of the opportunity. </div> <bR> <div> For 2008, I wanted also to give everyone a quick update and status of where things are in 2008  for Inner Banks Living. 2008 will be a Fantastic Year and this year offers some of the very best BUYS in the past 30 Years. Take advantage of the Real Estate Slowdown and buy quality properties at the 'Right Price'.</div> <bR> <div> --- Inner Banks Living is moving the marketing of properties into video and a production company will be doing a video specific to current projects like The Preserve and past projects like Vandemere Creek, Richland Landing, The Landing and Adams Creek, Timber Point, Bay Harbor, Battalina Creek and Winfield Estates etc.. Video is the future in Real Estate and we are making the investment to benefit our customers.</div> <bR> <div> ---Inner Banks Living will be featured on 260 Television Shows in 2008, 520 commercials and 260 Show Open and Close Billboards. There will also be 6 Inner Banks Living Featured Segments aired twice this year in numerous counties in the Inner Banks of North Carolina. We have had some great successes recently with resale's for current clients including Timber Point and Vandemere Creek and 2008  looks to expand the success stories for all current clients.</div> <bR> <div> ----'The Preserve' subdivision is Inner Banks Living first waterfront development project and 20% of the project is already reserved. The development will feature a 10 slip community water access amenity and plans are to expand the development from 10 lots to 22-25 lots. The project will be sold out in phases with the earlier customers getting the very best pricing and discounted deeded boat slip opportunities.</div> <bR> <div> I am very excited about the opportunities in 2008 and committed to helping my clients achieve 'A Lifestyle Worth Sharing'.

With the Knoxville skyline in the background, a boat motors toward Volunteer Landing on Thursday. Knoxville was ranked third by Boating Life magazine as a top area in the country to boat and live. Boating Life magazine ranked Knoxville third — tied with San Diego. Tampa Bay, Fla., and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., ranked first and second, respectively. I'm not surprised,” said Pepper Marcum, owner of Sea Ray of Knoxville. “Look at our lakes. Look at our natural beauty. No one can compete with that,” she said. Harbormaster James Bisch at Concord Marina is not surprised, either.</div> <bR> <div> “We keep thinking the business is going to slow down because of gas prices and it never has,” he said. He also said many people use boating as “mini vacations” as opposed to taking traditional vacations. Here’s what the magazine had to say about the Knoxville area: “It’s not hard to figure out why boat manufacturers such as Sea Ray, Bayliner, MasterCraft and Skier’s Choice, among others, set up shop in or near Knoxville. The Tennessee River, which runs right through downtown, is part of every aspect of life here. Upstream of the city, the river is a popular fishing and camping spot. Closer to the city, recreation is ever feeding from the river.“ ‘The biggest pull for the downtown area is the football season because of the massive tailgating parties on boats,’ says Joe Cornelius, manager of the Marinas on Lake Loudon.</div> <bR> <div> “As the river flows out of downtown, it forms Fort Loudon Lake where there’s been a recent boom of lakefront housing development. But the centerpiece of the area is Tellico Lake, where most of the boat builders test their boats. It also became the place to live ever since nationally known Tellico Village opened in the 1990s.” One of the boat builders on the banks of Tellico Lake is Cobalt Yachts in Vonore south of Knoxville. Cobalt president Constantinos Constantinou said the ranking does not surprise him. “I think the area is certainly a very attractive boating region,” he said. He credited TVA with being “very diligent” in providing access to the water. “Accessibility is a factor, and the lakes are managed well by TVA,” he said. John Dorton, CEO of MasterCraft Boat Co. said the Knoxville lake region is essential to his business.</div> <bR> <div> “First, we lake test every boat we build and therefore must have immediate access to big water for the 20-plus boats a day we build. Secondly, this area attracts a lot of talented people because of the great outdoor lifestyle and natural resources. We count on this region to bring us top talent and hold them here. Lastly, our lakes provide great inspiration for our new product develop efforts,” Dorton said. Bisch said his marina has 420 boats ranging in size from 18 feet to 63 feet with 70 people on a waiting list. “This lake is so full of boats I’m surprised we don’t have some rules limiting them. It’s getting crowded out here,” he said. Bisch said he has three kinds of boaters who use his marina. Full-time boaters represent about 25 percent of his business with weekend boaters and football season boaters proving the rest. To a lot of those customers, boats are a second home, a mini vacation, or both, Bisch said. Henry Luken, an owner of Christensen Shipyards, said the area’s moderate weather and being a safe place to live contributed to Knoxville’s third place ranking. As for boating-related jobs, Luken predicted employment in the Tellico area will grow from approximately 2,000 employees now to 4,000 or 5,000 in three or four years. “Once we (the boating industry) get done we will be the largest boating manufacturing place, period,” Luken said.</div> <div>  </div> <bR> <div> Mike Olexa</div> <div> President/Founder</div> <div> Inner Banks Living</div> <div> 919 569 0631 Phone</div> <div> 919 569 0632 Fax</div> <div> michaelolexa@olexaventures.com</div> <div> www.innerbanksliving.com            </div> <div> www.olexaventures.com   </div> <bR> <div> <B>---------------------------------------</B></div> <bR> <div> Message From the President</div> <div> RE: The Outer Banks</div> <div> August 6 , 2007</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Why Stop at Outer?</div> <div> The Outer Banks aren't the only sunny strands in North Carolina.</div> <div> How about the . . . Inner Banks?</div> <bR> <div> By Andrea Sachs</div> <bR> <div> Washington Post Staff Writer</div> <bR> <div> Sunday, July 29, 2007; P01</div> <bR> <div> So, you've been going to the Outer Banks for that many summers? So long that you can remember looking into Hurricane Fran's eye. So often that you can tick off the mile  markers blindfolded. For so many seasons that you might bronze your beach towel and donate it to the Outer Banks Historical Center.</div> <bR> <div> Perhaps it's time to find a new spot in the sun. Say, North Carolina's Inner Banks.</div> <bR> <div> Okay, so we made up that name. (Well, almost: Washington, N.C., and other eastern inland regions tout this brand name.) But the term seems to perfectly describe that part of North Carolina's coast that bends inward, 120 miles southwest of the Outer Banks and 30 miles below the Crystal Coast (sometimes called the Southern Outer Banks).</div> <bR> <div> North Carolina's prodigious coastline stretches for more than 300 miles, 130 of which are within the Outer Banks. A little farther south, near Wilmington, another miles-long chain of islands heavily dusted with golden sand hugs the coast. Most of the islands are connected by bridges and are accessible by highways. A few are reachable by ferry -- and who doesn't love a boat ride, especially when the pelicans are dive-bombing for dinner?</div> <bR> <div> Wilmington's archipelago -- which we will henceforth refer to as the Inner Banks -- shares some similarities with the Outer Banks. Both are a collection of barrier islands that are five or six hours by car from Washington, depending on where you plant your beach umbrella. Yet the Inner Banks have some distinct advantages:</div> <bR> <div> · Visitors traveling by plane can fly directly into Wilmington's large airport, which is mere miles from the beach; for OBX, the nearest airport is 82 miles away in Norfolk.</div> <bR> <div> · The area's strands are connected by multiple major routes, which helps disperse weekend beach traffic; OBX's Route 12 is the main artery -- you have no alternative unless you captain a ship.</div> <bR> <div> · On rainy days, you won't be stuck inside the motel room working on a 10,000-piece puzzle; Wilmington is an engaging waterfront town with museums, shops, a battleship and other attractions that can distract you from gloomy skies.</div> <bR> <div> The Wilmington-area islands come in various sizes (large to glorified lump) and populations (from thousands of people to just birds and turtles). We focused only on areas that are an easy drive from Wilmington and offer a gamut of amenities. Starting at Topsail Island just northeast of Wilmington, we didn't stop till we hit Bald Head Island, the southernmost isle on the Cape Fear Coast, which refers to those destinations bordering the Cape Fear River. Along the way, we noted the characteristics of each sun-baked land mass, such as its beach scenes, activities, restaurants and hotels. And to help you choose your favorite, we've matched each Inner Banks area with its Outer Banks counterpart, with the help of Stephen "Dr. Beach" Leatherman, who rates America's top beaches.
