When the Pacific Ocean sits right in your own backyard, you tend to focus on maintaining its health and beauty. But we all should focus on keeping our oceans clean every day.

 There is an agreement in the world that what we think about we bring about. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he"  Proverbs 23:7So... why not plan to keep your thoughts on all that is excellent and worthy of praise... why not be conscious of every negative thought that sneaks into our thoughts and switch it to something that is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and or admirable...  I do my best to be conscious of this and it is amazing how well it works...  So... as I go through this new day I will plan to keep my thoughts pure and beautiful and give no thought to anything that will upset me or frighten me... The problem is... it's not always easy, but it's always worth the effort.. ...

 Two (2) weeks ago I went long in the stock market. I think we will see a rally for the next Two (2) months that will surprise people and likely take all the recession talk off the table….but it is a farce. Underneath that, the pillar that has been holding up this economy..the small business owner who got flooded with EIDL money HAS pulled back. The Fed raising rates HAS finally hit this group.  I am seeing it in different things…. You see, the middle class has been tightening their belts for a year but the small business owner was able to tap cheap government money via the EIDL loans and didn’t even have to make a payment for 30 months. But now they are having to pay it back, all their credit lines and credit cards and SBA 7A loans have shot through the roof with the aggressive Fed, an...

Owner financing, also known as seller financing or seller carryback, is a financing arrangement in real estate where the seller acts as the lender.   Instead of the buyer obtaining a traditional mortgage from a bank, the seller provides the financing directly to the buyer. This means that the buyer makes regular payments to the seller, typically with interest, over an agreed-upon period.   Owner financing can benefit both parties, as it offers greater flexibility in terms and eligibility criteria. It allows buyers who may not qualify for traditional financing to purchase a property and provides sellers with additional options for selling their property (more options equals more potential buyers equals higher potential contract price).   Here's a full summary of the owner-financing meth...

If you’re trying to decide if now’s the time to sell your house, here’s what you should know. The limited number of homes available right now gives you a big advantage. That’s because there are more buyers out there than there are homes for sale. And, with so few homes on the market, buyers will have fewer options, so you set yourself up to get the most eyes possible on your house.Here’s what industry experts are saying about why selling now has its benefits: Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR):   “Inventory levels are still at historic lows. Consequently, multiple offers are returning on a good number of properties.” Selma Hepp, Chief Economist at CoreLogic:   “We have not seen the traditional uptick in new listings from existing homeowners, so u...

It seems crazy...these 5 features are amazingly popular & drive many homebuying decisions. Why would they be considered unnecessary? Well, because of their popularity, homes with these features often sell at a premium. If you don't need these features, why pay for them? They cost more money, both at the beginning with a higher purchase price, then ongoing higher expenses (taxes, home maintenance, etc.).Empty nesters, those working from home and/or retirees with no children at home typically don't need the short commute, big yard, top school district (with its higher taxes) & big house: that's 4 out of the 5 features! If they can manage stairs, this same pool of buyers may agree that a one story design is also an unnecessary feature.Clearly, this list is subjective & depends on where the...
