Los Angeles Bank Owned Pool Homes - 09/27/10 01:34 PM
It's 101 degrees today in Los Angeles. Hello, Indian Summer! The real estate market remains tenuous, but triple digit weather has everyone looking for the bargain of the century: bank owned property with a pool and a view! I worked with several investors last year who wouldn't look at anything but bank-owned pool homes because they saw the intrinsic value in owning a home that had the added benefit of a pool- a 'must' for days like this in Los Angeles. As an REO broker, I've found that regardless of condition, people love, love, love a Los Angeles bargain property … (0 comments)

Ask, and you shall receive. Maybe the answers you're seeking aren't exactly what you expected, but thoughtful response to questions that may seem obvious help us to develop a fresh perspective, refine the operating principles of our lives and businesses, and lead us in new directions to meet our goals. Certainly, we have all been challenged with the task of asking ourselves the tough questions in the last few years of hardship. Those tough questions are different for everyone, but if you are really interested in growth and progress, it's time to have a 'coming to Jesus' with yourself about … (2 comments)

Finding the Best Schools in Los Angeles - 09/19/10 12:59 PM
Finding the best school for your child is one of the most important decisions a parent can make in Los Angeles. Budget cuts, failing curriculum, crowded classrooms, and unmotivated and underpaid teachers are a reality in California's present day school system. Even so, many parents do not have the option of providing their kids with private school education so they must make every effort to make the best out of California's less-than-ideal school system. With the end of Summer upon us, parents are well in to the throes of considering these complicated questions when it comes to their childrens' education. Here … (0 comments)

West Hollywood Cash Home Buyers Beware! Do Your Due Diligence. - 09/13/10 04:19 PM
Buyer beware! I cannot emphasize this point enough to all potential cash home buyers in West Hollywood and beyond: Do your homework! Due diligence is a critical part of the home buying process, but it is astounding how many home buyers will skimp on their home inspection when paying cash for a real estate investment. It's vital to find all the costly flaws before you buy, whether the purchase be with cash or a home loan.
Many homes on the market today are distressed properties -- foreclosures and short sales -- and that only increases the importance of good … (2 comments)

Be a Class Act - 09/08/10 04:11 PM
'Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. it's sure footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.'
I have been re-reading The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, by Jack Canfield. He's the guy that also wrote The Chicken Soup for the Soul Series and I have to say that the book provides a lot of valuable information for uncovering the path towards your best self.

When Will Los Angeles Area Homes Regain Their Value?? - 09/03/10 08:28 PM
You're probably beginning to wonder: When will Los Angeles area homes regain their value? If you own a home in L.A., I regret to tell you that you’ll need to wait another 15 years before your home's value will return to pre-recession levels. This, according to the reputable Fiserv Case-Schiller Index, that also reports that we've yet to see the worst of it, as the U.S. will continue to experience an overall downward decent in home values. The Index forecasts a further 7% decline in home prices through the end of the year, with the beginnings of a sluggish … (4 comments)
