San Diego County has so much to offer! If only there were more homes for sale!

I know a very nice couple that is desperately trying to buy a house in San Diego County. They are San Diego natives and qualified buyers, ready to spend! The problem? Low inventory and all cash buyers!
The first issue they have run up against is lack of suitable homes. They are having a hard time finding property in their area of choice that meets their needs. Then, once they find something they like, they are often shut out of deals. Sometimes … (0 comments)

trust deed loan: Malibu, California's Luxury Real Estate Market Improved - 12.29.2012 - 12/29/12 10:21 AM
 
The beauty that is Malibu, California.
2012 has provided many signs of improvement in our economy and the United States’ real estate market. One seems to effect and reflect the status of the other. The price increase on properties in many areas indicates a decrease in supply, which as I have discussed previously is due not only to more sales, but also less foreclosures. Still remaining, is the demand of buyers wanting to purchase. The changing state of supply and demand is causing obvious changes in property prices.
The luxury real estate market in Malibu, California is one area … (0 comments)

trust deed loan: Trust Deed Loans and Other Real Estate Investments - 12.3.2012 - 12/03/12 03:51 PM
 
One of Arizona's many desert loving residents.

There is more than one way to invest in real estate. The most common thought may be to purchase property that will have a high probability of return. It may be a fixer upper that is then “flipped” for a profit. Perhaps it will be an income producing multi-family apartment complex or a high rise office building with tenants providing a monthly income.
If you have been trying to get in on the purchasing craze, but are lacking funding, you may be a candidate for a private money loan from southern … (0 comments)

However, when you step outside the confines of traditional banks and into the less restrictive arena of hard money lending, … (3 comments)

Usually when I think of real estate, I think of houses or empty lots to build on. Even when I think of commercial or investment property, I have a vision of office buildings or multiple family apartment complexes. But real estate comes in all forms!

al
California real estate sales on the rise.

Wooh! We are back to Friday once again. I am looking forward to the weekend. I hope you are too. I have mentioned before about the fact that nobody knows how long the real estate market will favor buyers as it has been now for years. There is beginning to be more reports that property sales are increasing. This, of course is great for the economy. But as the demand for real estate increases and the supply lessens, prices will be driven higher.

trust deed loan: California's Million Dollar Home Sales on the Rise - 8.13.2012 - 08/13/12 10:51 AM
 
I have a new appreciation for ice.

Welcome to another Monday and another day of this unfathomable heat wave! If you are in San Diego, Los Angeles or elsewhere in California, you have most certainly been faced with the challenge of staying cool the last several days. Other western states, including Arizona has been plagued with scorching triple digit temperatures too.  Personally, I am favoring the air conditioned indoors to any outdoor option. However, many have been trekking to the cooler beach areas, lured by the thought of taking a refreshing dip. Of course, since the Discovery Channel’s all … (2 comments)

How does seeing a full moon make you feel?

What’s scary to one person, may be fun for another. Friday the 13th, Halloween, walking outside at night time with a full moon and other scenarios. Some people live for these experiences, while others choose to avoid them.
There are a lot of situations we come across in life that, depending on your perspective can be seen as exciting or stressful. How we view something will either energize, motivating us to move forward or deplete, discouraging us from further exploration.
An unknown path can be scary or exciting. It's just … (0 comments)
