cash: The dream of home ownership still exists and still makes sense …GOOD sense! - 12/21/09 01:49 AM
In the Hemet - San Jacinto CA marketplace there are excellent opportunities for home ownership.In San Jacinto, CA, we even have a city sponsored first time buyer program where the city will contribute, as a grant, 6% of the purchase price of a San Jacinto home. There are very few restrictions on this grant and decisions are made quickly.The grant money can be used for either the down payment, closing costs or a combination of both.Call me at 951-443-6259 to find out more and get the process started before the City of San Jacinto runs out of funds.

cash: San Jacinto, CA MARKET REPORT: SOLDS | 10/1/2009 - 10/31/2009 | VIDEO - 11/22/09 11:45 AM
Once again it is time to take a look at the Closed Sales for San Jacinto, CA. For this report, I'll be looking at the entire month of October, 2009. My objective is to not only provide the typical numbers that can be found almost anywhere, but to once again break them down into the very critical subcategories of Sale Type and then again by Type of Financing. In other words I'll be looking at REO Sales independently of Short Sales and FHA Loans differently than Cash Sales.In addition to the Bedroom count, Bathroom count and the Living Space Square Footage

The Hemet - San Jacinto, CA real estate market has remained flat as the summer buying season came to an end. This report wants to look back from the period covering August 21st through September 20th, 2009.

cash: Blood In - Blood Out...New FHA Rules Before Congress - 10/05/09 10:28 AM
Congress has another band-aid they want to put on the economic crises this country and the world are currently experiencing...at a cost that would be picked up by a segment of the population that can least afford it - first time homebuyers.The goal of a new bill, H.R. 3706, introduced by Rep Scott Garrett (R-NJ) on October 1, 2009 would raise the minimum down payment for FHA backed loans from the current 3.5% of purchase price by over 42.8% and require buyers to raise 5% just for the down. The bill, is known as the "FHA Taxpayer Protection Act of 2009"Federal

cash: The Perfect Offer...Or Cash is Still King - 10/01/09 01:49 AM
From where I sit as a REO Listing agent in the Hemet - San Jacinto Valley the California REO Market is finally starting to heat up. OK, it may not be sizzling, but I have seen more action in the last week than in a long time - both with buyers and my sellers.Desperate buyers are still struggling to get into escrow to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit that is scheduled to be pulled off the table for any escrows that don't close on or before November 30th, 2009. That's only 61 days from now and our average time

cash: What is So Difficult about an ALL CASH OFFER? - 09/22/09 01:04 PM
I have been on the abuse side or REO Listing Agent Bashing for a couple of days now after my blog post, Do Buyers Think They are Getting Slick? Was featured on ActiveRain. OK, there are a lot of good points there and some great conversation to help make things better. By the way, I have had several of my asset managers read through the blog and subsequent conversation that followed and the best I can get out of them at this point is something along the line of "interesting". We'll see what comes of that.I also wrote another blog article

Conventional loan down payments in San Jacinto CA from the period of June 21st, 2009 through July 20th, 2009 accounted for 22.7%, or 25 residential homes for sale, closed escrow.Aside from the amount of down payment a borrower must put down on a Conventional Loan, there is not a requirement for the borrower to live in the home.
