12.18.2012 – Relocation

 

We’ve all been there.

I just moved from one location to another. As we all know, it is a huge job! No matter how much time we spend getting organized and preparing for the big day, or as in my case, days, it seems to always take longer than anticipated.

In addition to packing, packing and more packing you need to communicate with the post office to ensure your mail will still be received, change your address on your driver’s license, contact anyone who sends you mail, whether creditors, friends or family, start and stop cable, internet and any other similar service. In short, there is a lot to do. And this is not even a complete list!

 

If you happen to be planning a move to Arizona or California you may want to review the information at one or both of the links below.

12.14.2012 – San Francisco Strength

 

The San Francisco housing market is healthier!

We’ve been having cooler weather in San Diego this week. It has included overcast skies and rain. Not typical San Diego misting or light showers that last for a few minutes and are gone. Instead more thorough pours, as seen more typically in San Francisco and other areas of northern California.

 

 

 

As I have mentioned before in this blog, because of my preference of cooler weather, some have suggested I move to the Bay Area. I’m not sure if I ever will or not, but I do like the weather up there.

In the field of real estate there are some excited changes happening in the Bay area. According to the Los Angeles Times article at the link below, the San Francisco area housing market has grown stronger. Both real estate sales and prices have increased since last year.

12.12.2012 – Real Estate Education

Sunny beaches near by the University of San Diego.

I live in San Diego County. Although it is where I have lived for over five years, I am still learning about things that are available here. Today I discovered that at the University of San Diego there is an education center for those interested in getting involved in the professional side of real estate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to the UCSD website, the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate was founded in 1993. Find out more about the center at the link below.

12.7.2012 – Creative Outlets for Kids

Tonight I went and saw a high school production of Peter Pan that one of my neighbors was in. It was a wonderful show; fun, funny and moving. Loved it! I was impressed with the acting, direction and the whole event before, during and after the show.

 

 

 

 

It made me think about the importance of giving young people of all ages opportunities to learn and experience difference activities, including the arts. It made me happy to see the students, as relaxed as they were on stage, having fun, expressing themselves, while working together.

 

Besides school groups, there are a number of organizations throughout the United States that give our youth outlets for expression, creative and otherwise. Once such respected organization is the Boys & Girls Club. Private money lender, Source Capital is a proud supporter of what this group represents.

12.5.2012 – House Flipping Secrets

 

Have you seen Bravo TV’s reality show, Flipping Out? Although the show focuses much of its attention on relationship conflicts and the show’s star Jeff Lewis’ love of sarcasm, it does shed some light on the world of flipping houses.

Those that purchase less than perfect homes and invest money into remodeling them to be sold at a profit, are often referred to as Flippers. They search for good deals on fixer upper dwellings and when the price is right, make their purchase. Then they improve the property, adding aesthetically pleasing attributes and other value to attract potential buyers.

Below is a link to a US News article featuring the topic of flipping houses. If you have thought about trying this business venture, or you are just curious to learn more about the art of being a flipper, check it out!

Learn more about the house flipping process, as reported by US News.

 

If you find a house that would be a beneficial house to flip and are in need of funding, contact Source Capital. Hard money lender Source Capital is not limited in the same ways that traditional banks are, which means you won’t be either!

Source Capital Funding, Inc. is a direct, private hard money lender that provides hard money loans and trust deed investment options throughout Arizona and California.

12.3.2012 – Invest in Real Estate

 

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 California based, Source Capital. Implementing real estate loan transactions in Arizona and California, Source Capital may be the answer you’ve been looking for.

Below is an article sharing the current outlook on investing in Arizona real estate.

Investing in Arizona Real Estate 2012

If simply going to your mailbox and collecting your profit is more appealing to you, then contact Source Capital to find out more about trust deed investment opportunities. If you decide to take part, you will be matched with a compatible client seeking to purchase a property or complete a construction project. Then sit back, relax and wait for your next monthly check to arrive. Your investment will be secured with a trust deed. This is a low risk, high return investment with quick results.

11.30.2012 – Home Shopping Spree

Today is the last day of November. It’s hard to believe that December starts tomorrow and we have arrived at the final month of 2012. It has been an interesting year of changes in real estate and beyond.

If you have been following my blog you have noticed my repetitive message that due to the upward shifts in the real estate market, now is the time to buy. An article in The Sacramento Bee suggests that I am not alone. Blackstone, a New York based investment firm that owns the Waldorf Astoria hotel and the Weather Channel has purchased over 500 homes in the Sacramento area this year. You can read the article in its entirety at the link below.

11.26.2012 – Shark Tank

 

Ever seen ABC’s Shark Tank?

Have you seen the ABC show Shark Tank? It’s an interesting concept that allows entrepeneurs and inventors to pitch their idea to several self-made successful business people, including Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban.

I have seen the show a few times. I have enjoyed it and learned from it. A recent episode features Bill Lyons, one of San Diego County’s own. Lyons was born in Point Loma, grew up in Coronado and then received his Bachelors Degree from Arizona State University. Now back in San Diego County and a Mission Hills resident and innovative businessman, Lyons can be seen on Shark Tank, pitching Revestor, a website designed to assist real estate investors to find the best deals.

Check out Revestor for yourself!

If you are a real estate investor or want to become one, there are different ways to do it. You may choose to take advantage of the current buyer’s market and purchase residential or commercial property, as an investment. If this is what you have been trying to do, but you are having a hard time obtaining financing, don’t give up! You may be a candidate to receive a hard money loan through Source Capital.

 

Another investment option is working with Source Capital as a private investor working with trust deed loans. By loaning money to assist a buyer get the property they want, you are not only helping someone with their future, but you are also investing in your own.
