My Favorite Places to Enjoy a Coffee in La Jolla, CA In no particular order, since it’s based on what drops in, as my urge to visit for “any given day”. (Yes there is a Peet’s and a Starbucks in La Jolla, but why bother? In La Jolla you have so many "local-personality" places to experience with great coffee and atmosphere, food and in some cases, ocean views)!  The very famous, (often line out the door) La Jolla local favorite is known as: Brick & Bell Café Address: 928 Silverado St, La Jolla, CA 92037This place reminds me of a coffee bar in Italy, very small, very expansive coffee selection, yet simple breakfast menu & pastries menu and very, very much a buzzing beehive of activity, conversation and locals.

Annual La Jolla Cove Swim Club Polar Bear Plunge is January 1 First off I have to say I admire those who decide to jump in the cold ocean in the middle of winter, or even parade around on a chilly beach in a bathing suit. Not for me, now or ever! And this is no doubt a tad bit warmer than doing it back in Boston, for example. Seems to me they also did this sort of thing back in Minnesota. Of course you had to dig holes through the ice in the lake. My opinion aside, New Year's Day, Friday January 1, is the date for the annual La Jolla Cove Swim Club Polar Bear Plunge. This will be accompanied by chili (potluck) you bring and perhaps other warm food to complement, with cider and coffee to be provided.  The polar bear plunge is NOT being held at La Jolla Cove but at Kellogg Park in La Joll... 12/29/2015

Does your State's Law allow a Landlord to enter a dwelling at will, or must he get permission from the Renter or give notice?  Most landlords, I would hope, realize that in most cases notice must be given prior to entering an occupied rental unit. Of course there are exceptions to this rule and in some cases giving notice isn't enough. Under good circumstances a landlord or representative (property manager) would arrange with the tenant a date and time to access the premises. In this case no formal notice is required and the landlord comes over at the agreed upon time. In Oregon we are bound by ORS 90.322 that states a landlord or their property manager may enter into the tenants dwelling under the tenants exclusive control for the purposes of; inspections, necessary or agreed upon repa... 10/12/2015

In my blog last week I discussed targeting great tenants and rehabbing the fixer upper, in my 3 part, Becoming a landlord series, today I’m going to discuss how to detect a looming market collapse. The housing market follows a cycle that can be tracked, in fact you can look back in history as far as 1818 and see that the real estate cycle is generally completed within an eighteen year window. Throughout history there are a couple exceptions to this eighteen year window one being World War II and the second being in the late 1970's when interest rates nearly doubled. So if you know that the housing market completes its cycle every eighteen years then the second very important piece of information you need to know to predict the next housing market collapse is where we are in the cycle.
