Slow and Steady, Palm Springs is Ready by Rich Pivo
If you’re interested in purchasing property, now would be the time to do it – and here’s why. The Coachella Valley has become one of the fastest growing regions in Southern California, according to the state Employment Development Department. In Riverside and San Bernardino counties, 19,500 more people were employed in November compared to the same month a year ago, outpacing Orange County and Los Angeles County.
If you’re one of those people who say they’re waiting for the economy to change before making a purchase on a property, consider this. Housing prices are extremely low, and with the improvement of the economy, housing prices will go up. Home sales in the Coachella Valley increased in nine of…Making Money In Palm Springs

Famous for its golfing communities, there are other good reasons to retire or invest in a second home or condo in the Palm Springs area. But whether you are in retirement or not quite hitting that mark yet, we are suggesting that there might be an even better reason for settling down here - making money. If you’re an entrepreneur at heart, and thinking of the next big thing, then Palm Springs is the place to be. Not only are we slowly coming out of a recession, but amazingly, there is plenty of room for growth and a new market for the new generations which are ready to spend money. There are also a plethora of restaurants, which include some new eateries: LuLu California Bistro, Red Tomato & House of Lamb, Kaiser Grill and The Lobster House. We can’t…
A Tangible Future

If you have money in a bank account, you are getting a return of 1% on the cash you have there. If you bank with a credit union, you have a 2% return on your money, which is better than a bank, but still not great. Couple that to a possible bank holiday or a complete shutdown, like we had back in 2008 - and your assets tied to greenbacks aren't going anywhere, including your wallet. Short of hiding your hard earned savings under your mattress, it might be safer to tie your investments into hard assets which will stay safe, such as houses and property, precious metals, coins, stamps, books, antiques, furniture or anything that can be considered tangible. As the saying goes, if I can't hold it, then I don't own it. But the market is down - why would I…

What are the interest Rates as of 1/18/2011

On a daily basis I get questions about interest rates. Walter Neil of the Franklin Loan Center provided these numbers. Rates will fluctuate based on your credit score and your income to expense ratio. Looking at homes without having been to a mortgage lender is the backwards way of buying real estate. You will not find one seller (bank or lender) that will accepted an offer without a pre-approval letter (if you are financing) or Proof of Funds (if it is a cash deal). You need the leverage of having a pre-approval letter to postion yourself for a solid purchase. Check out these interest rates.

Is the new home buyer credit still available?
Saturday, September 11th, 2010 at 9:17pm. 363 Views, 0 Comments.
Over the past several weeks there have been several questions directed to me regarding the availability of the new home buyer tax credit. For home purchases where a binding sales contract was signed by April 30, 2010, otherwise qualified buyers now have until September 30, 2010 to complete the purchase. Nevertheless, we still have almost a perfect storm. interest rates are still at one of the lowest points in history and prices of homes are still extremely low. It is your opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If you are renting, you can't write off your payments....with a mortage loan, you can.
