My Piece of the American Dream - What's Yours? - 03/26/08 02:57 PM
This has been a tough year for many in the country and housing has led the headlines with a constant negative stream.  I admit it, I can easily become addicted to the news and when I speak with family and friends as they look at us with questions and concerns and the occasional "Things must be tough, how are you holding up" it can bring me down. So, I thought it was important to remind myself of why I love real estate.  
I love the freedom it brings!

Orange County FHA Loan Limits Increase- YEAH! - 03/06/08 12:43 PM
Great news, the new FHA loan limits were released today, ahead of schedule, with little fan-fair.
The new limits for Orange County are:
Single Family Residences: $729,750*2 Family Residences: $934,200*3 Family Residences: $1,129,250*4 Family Residences: $1,403,400

As well, this should build some … (3 comments)
