¿Por qué hay tanto papeleo impuesto por el banco para la aplicación de un préstamo hipotecario al comprar una casa hoy? Al parecer el banco necesita saber todo sobre usted y requiere tres distintas fuentes para validar cada inscripción en el formulario de solicitud. A muchos compradores sus amigos y familiares les han dicho que el proceso fue más fácil cuando ellos compraron su casa hace diez o veinte años atrás. Hay dos muy buenas razones por las que el proceso del préstamo es mucho más oneroso para el comprador de hoy que quizás en cualquier otro momento en la historia.1.El gobierno ha establecido nuevas directrices que ahora demandan que el banco pruebe más allá de cualquier duda que usted en efecto está en capacidad de pagar la hipoteca.Durante el periodo previo a la crisis en el m... 06/18/2019

  Founded in 1888 by the Superintendent of Southern Pacific Railroad, Jerome A. Fillmore, Fillmore had less than a 100 residents back then.  The residents and the town were sustained by the "Orange Rush" of the late 1800's and the commercial production and distribution of oranges by what would eventually become Sunkist Growers.  Fillmore's first orange packing house was built and purchased for $50.   Today, Fillmore still has a small-town atmosphere with a population of less than 16,000 residents. The nearby farms are still predominantly agriculture with most agricultural industry being related to orange, lemon, avocado orchard farming and packing and, more recently, tree farming.The town's relatively remote location away from urban sprawl of Ventura and neighboring Los Angeles counties... 12/20/2011

The new skateboard park in Fillmore is open and has been been receiving raving reviews from the skateboard crowd. Beginner or expert, they all agree that the skate park is outstanding in every way. It has taken eight years from idea to reality with a cost of $1.2 million and everyone feels that the wait and the price tag were worth it. The skate park has already gained the attention of skateboarders outside of the Fillmore community and is drawing crowds to the little town with the big park. This has been a boon to local business. Jeff Tatum, a skateboarding legend is credited with the conceptual design of the Fillmore Skate Park . The skate park, located at the corner of C and River Streets, is open daily from 8 a.m. until sunset. The Skateboard Park is part of the new 22-acre Fillmore... 01/22/2009

Last Saturday I was previewing Fillmore homes for a buyer and passed the Fillmore Fish Hatchery sign along Highway 126 and decided to stop by for a visit.  I've been there before and it's kind of a cool place to walk around.  The signs outside fill us in on the details.  The hatchery was dedicated in 1932 and is one of 21 hatcheries managed and operated by the California Department of Fish and Game.  The Fillmore Hatchery produces approximately one million rainbow trout (about 400,000 pounds of fish) annually.  The water at the hatchery comes from four large wells and is kept at a constant 59° Fahrenheit.  The water is pumped from below the surface and afterwards it is used for agriculture.  Netting covers the concrete tanks the fish are raised in to protect them from the birds that use... 05/08/2008

     The last, best small town in Southern California. (self proclaimed, but probably true!)  Fillmore was named one of "The West's Best Cities", by Sunset Magazine, an honor given to only 24 communities in the western U.S.    Nestled in the heart of the Heritage Valley, it was founded over a hundred years ago beside a Southern Pacific railroad station and still retains the feel of a railroad town! Approximately 14,690 folks make there home here (Jan. 2004).   Today, visitors can board the Fillmore and Western historical train in Central Park, next to stately City Hall, and enjoy a leisurely, scenic ride through lush citrus groves and farms of the Santa Clara River Valley.    The historic downtown area offers a variety of shops, museums and places to eat.     Choices in housing range fr... 05/03/2008
