California veterans have extraordinary opportunities to purchase a home using their VA home loan benefits.  Veterans can purchase a home or condominium, with no down payment, up to certain loan limits.  The hitch is that the condominium complex must "pass muster" with the VA.  If you're consideri...

I’ll say it out loud;   I like that Arizona Immigration Law.  I was initially unclear about it but I read the text , alongside the text of the 4th Amendment.  For me, it boiled down to what  an “unreasonable search” is and what is “reasonable suspicion“.  At the end of the day, I have to trust th...

A few years ago, I hosted a group of Active Rainers at the Del Mar Race Track.  That little group meeting inspired me to host the San Diego Estate and Mortgage Meetup which has grown to a monthly networking mixer with close to 100 people attending.

It's not because the economy is recovering; it isn't recovering.  The reason mortgage rates will r...

If VA home loans and FHA mortgages are great for buyers, why won't sellers accept them?  Debbie Rumsey suggested as much when she commented on my post about VA condo complex approvals, here on Active Rain. Here is how real estate agents can debunk seller-held myths and get an FHA or VA offer acce...

I've probably funded 40 VA home loans in 2009, many of them for unapproved condominium complexes.  In Southern California, it's quite common along the coastal communities for buyers to look at condos, townhomes, or PUDs as lower-cost alternatives to single-family homes.  Declining prices, along w...

I suggested that the real estate brokerage and finance industries stop devouring flesh, as a means for survival.  That idea generated close to 150 comments.  I was surprised that nobody called a hyprocrite for advocating smaller government while funding government-guaranteed home loans.
