Recent
complaint's from parents claim that students are getting sick from
dust. The San Marcos Unified School District has shut down a site used
to sort debris from demolished San Marcos High Building after parents
of an elementary school next to the property complained that their
children were getting ill. I think we'll have to go back to Plan "B"
and reassess what we're doing, said a representative from the San
Marcos Unified School District to a group of parents who had gathered
for an afternoon meeting.
The site next to the
elementary school has been used to sort material from the
remodeling/demolishing of materials from San Marcos High School. The
debris site is directly across the street from the elementary school
and is surrounded by a fence. Large piles of wood and twisted metal are
visible near heavy machinery used to grind the debris into material to
be recycled.

Now and then someone will ask me, “What’s a trustee sale like?”
Trustee Sales or Foreclosure Trustee Sales in Alameda County are held at 1225 Fallon St. Oakland CA Monday through Friday from noon to 2 pm.
It’s another real estate market, the last step in the foreclosure process.
The investors gather at the courthouse steps. The auctioneer calls out the properties and begins the bidding. It’s hard to hear the auctioneer but the investors can hear him just fine. The buyers are savvy investors resembling a group of Vegas gamblers. In a sense they are gambling, and they are addicted to the thrill of the auction.
The investors walk around with their papers letting no one see their numbers. Their homework done, they mill around waiting for the right deal. Each one has a way of checking out the properties. Some subscribe to special research services. These guys are serious. Many of them have been doing this for 10 to 20 years.
Most of the properties go back to the bank. The bidders know what’s a good deal, and it’s all about the bottom line. If they don’t get something today, they’ll be back tomorrow.
You need to bring cashier’s checks in denominations of ten thousands and twenty thousands. How would you feel carrying a load of cashier’s checks in Oakland?
For most buyers this market is not an option. It takes guts to plunk a hundred or two hundred thousand dollars on a house you know very little about, and once the bid is accepted the buyer can’t back out…not with the deposit anyway.
For curiosity, it’s good to see the trustee sale process, but I don’t recommend it for rookies or for people with low tolerance for risk.
On a side note, just this past month in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, three investors pled guilty to collusion and twenty other ones will be indicted by the FBI for participating in private auctions. Kind of paints a dark picture, doesn’t it?
How can I help an investor? By giving my opinion as to whether or not it’s a good deal and an idea of resale value.

Information Deemed Reliable But Not Guaranteed. School information provided byGreatSchools.org
Bryant, thanks for sharing your wisdom on short sales on Active rain. I have gotten paid on a few and have burned hours on ones that never closed. There is noting short about a short sale
Hi folks. OK so I feel compelled again to write about Short Sales and knowing how to get paid. There is so much bad information out there.
There are many agents, brokers, attorneys, negotiators and others that are just adamant that agents are at the mercy of the lenders when it comes to commissions.
I read an article on another site where the agent asked a simple question wanting to know if his seller could pay him additional commission above the 6% the lender approved.
Responders were shocked that he would even consider taking more money from his “distressed seller” others stated is was illegal or a violation of RESPA and no lender would EVER allow it.
Seek legal advice from a competent attorney in your State to see what you can and can’t do. Make sure the attorney can back up his opinions by case law. Remember attorneys are also giving you an opinion. It may be wrong.
Ignore most of what NAR and our local boards say about short sales. Their job is to err on the side of caution to protect REALTORS(R). Their opinions and suggestions may very well be harmful to your customer/clients and your pay check..
Always verify. Ask to see the law. Then read it an form your own opinion.
Know when RESPA applies and when it doesn’t.
Understand the difference between laws, guidelines, suggestions and opinions.
For example, this blog article is my opinion based on my research. Don’t take my word for it.
Folks, your ability to help people with their Real Estate needs is greatly limited if you don’t become a student of Real Estate. Do your own research and figure out a business plan that works of you and your customer/clients. You may be surprised to find out what you can do. What say you?
Are you facing foreclosure in Florida?
Do NOT be foreclosed on! Avoid foreclosure. Short Sales DO close.

It's beyond sad that another talented singer has passed away. She was found in her hotel room and died of unknown causes. I hope she finally found peace. What a talented singer. I remember watching her videos on MTV. My favorite video was, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody". She had pretty curly hair, nice big smile, pink lipstick, pink dress and streamers. It was so cute and fun. I'm posting it below in memory of her full life, 8/9/63-2/11/12.
What is your favorite song?

The Smart Box is an electronic lockbox that combines NuSet's time-tested traditional mechanical lockbox features with modern technology to bring you the most up-to-date and affordable access control system. The Smart Box provides easy-to-use USB programming function that keeps track of access and its sturdy casing withstands harsh weather conditions as well as destructive tempering. These features are designed to offer you a trusted security product that restricts the number of authorized individuals accessing your properties as well as keeping precise statistics.
Easy-to-Use
The Smart Box is a unique electronic lockbox because it is easy to program. Each Smart Box comes with a USB device that lets you assign up to 500 unique access code and limit the duration period of each code. The program keeps track of all activities in an access log and allows you to retrieve access information by date and time. With the Smart Box you control who may access your property and for how long. The detailed access log keeps you informed should anyone try to temper with your lockbox or mess with the content. Most importantly, you don't need an engineering background to install your Smart Box. You only have to read our user guide.
A Stand alone system
When you buy a Smart Box, you are making a onetime investment. The Smart Box is an electronic lockbox that requires no subscription fees, access card, or any other long term service fees. Everything is controlled by the USB device that comes with each unit. You don't need internet access or cell phone signal. The device is powered by standard AA batteries. The system comes with an external battery-run charger for rebooting your Smart-Box in case the internal batteries are dead. There is no need to worry about AC power voltage for our international customers. Yes, there is no fine print. It is truly an individual device that stands on its own. Of course, if you have question setting up or resetting your Smart Box, you can always count our experienced customer service team in English, Chinese, or Spanish to help you absolutely for FREE!
Traditional features:
The Smart Box may feel more heavy duty and a little bulkier but our loyal supporter will have no trouble spotting the familiar NuSet lockbox appearance. Like our mechanical lockbox, the Smart Box comes in a sturdy metal case that withstands extreme weather conditions throughout the year. We guarantee you will find it very hard to temper with or force open that heavy mental casing. We test run all of our products with brute destructive force before shipping them to you! The bulky body of the Smart Box gives you more interior space to store multiple keys, credit cards, or other small gadgets. The Combo Locking Shackle is even more familiar to NuSet customers. The Smart Box 7000 series combines the NuSet unique mechanically operated combination locking shackle with our new electronic lockbox body. What does this mean? Simply put the computer controlled feature secures the content inside your lockbox while the combination locking shackle protects your lockbox. Without your (numeric or letter) code, nobody can remove your lockbox.
Who use a Smart-Box?
Based on a lockbox design for real estate agents and brokers, this access control system has versatile usage and can be used in many different applications. Anytime and anywhere you want to restrict others access to your resources, consider using a Smart-Box. Business owners use the Smart-Box to grant authorized employees access to supplies and restricted areas while tracking date and time of entry. Supply managers in large organizations as well as clinic and medical facility managers use the Smart-Box to monitor access to precious resources. The Smart-Box is also ideal for schools and communal facilities looking to cut cost by storing keys to shared equipments without the need of an onsite facilitator. The spacious vault, weather resistant casing, and easily readable punch button keypad makes the Smart-Box user-friendly for homeowners all over the world. You need not worry about hiding your spare keys or pain over letting your cleaner or dog-walker come while you are not at home. Recently, we partnered with the health care industry to install Smart-Box at the homes of patients so that care-takers and medical personnel may quickly reach patients in an emergency.
If you are looking for a sturdy electronic lockbox that is affordable and easy to use, you must check out our Smart Box. No other lockbox in the market offers you such excellent hardware and software security as the Smart Box. Make a one-time investment to protect each of your properties. Remember, there are no additional service charges or support service fees attached to the Smart Box.
Wall-Mount Smart-Box
The Smart-Box 7050 work just like the 7000 model to track access by time and code. Instead of using a locking shackle, the wall-mount Smart-Box allows you to fix the lockbox on a surface area. This model is ideal for offices and businesses where keys or access cards can be kept near store-rooms, file cabinets, or cupboards. Without the shackle, this electronic lockbox can be stored inside a drawer as a handy little safe.
