About 6,500 people took place in this morning's Half Marathon and 5K race in Woodbridge, Irvine.HERE's a video clip. A Half Marathon is 13.1 miles and a 5K race, (5,000 meters), is 3.1 miles. A lot of the serious runners used today's fun and fast race to prepare for all the great runs that are coming up, like the Surf City Marathon, the LA Marathon, the Boston Marathon, and the OC Marathon. Chip timing was used, (a chip imbedded in the bib number) in this year's Half Marathon and 5K race, and a T-shirt and a great “goodie” bag were available.I am happy to have sponsored mile-marker #1 to help support Woodbridge High School athletics and other Irvine Schools. If you didn't make it down here today, think about coming next year. It's always a lot of fun. 01/11/2014

As announced on December 6, 2014 in the FHA Mortgagee Letter 2013-43, FHA loan limits in Orange County will be lower in 2014 versus 2013. Other California counties will be effected by the loan limit drop as well, including Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego. According to FHA, "due to the expiration of the authority granted in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012, the calculation of FHA's single family loan limits is altered, resulting in a decrease in the calculation of high cost limits and the loan limit ceiling for case numbers assigned on or after January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. "How this Effects Orange County, CAThe 2013 FHA loan limit for Orange County is/was $729,750. The new limit for 2014 will be $625,500, matching up w... 12/09/2013

The CalVet loan program is for purchases only. CalVet borrowers wishing to refinance will need to do it into another type of home loan. The most logical type of loan is the standard VA home loan. In high cost areas of California, like Orange County, the CalVet loan program has not been too popular over the past few years for a couple of reasons. First, the 100% loan limit for a standard VA loan tends to be higher than allowed with CalVet. In 2013 a Veteran buying a home with no down payment in Orange County can go as high as $668,750. The 100% financing limit for CalVet is $521,250. The other reason is that over the past few years interest rates for the standard VA loan program have been lower than that offered by CalVet.Still, there are CalVet borrowers throughout California who have n... 11/29/2013
