The homes in the new William Lyon Homes subdivision "Vineyard at Vista Del Mar are simply a cut above.  Guests enter through the formal living room dining room combination. This is not the only large open concept space on the first floor.  Just steps beyond the formal dining room area lies a kitchen dining area family room styled great room.  The configuring possibilities are endless. The home features a suite down, perfect for guests, in-law or au pair.  This room can also be configured as a den.

Real Estate Tip of the Day – June 20, 2012 All investing has risk and Real Estate Investing is no exception, although with a good REALTOR you can minimize risk and maximize profits. Go Here For The Free Book of Real Estate Investing One way to minimize risk is to have a back up plan. I was working on a buy and flip with one client and he was very concerned about what he would do if the house did not sell or if he could not get the price he felt he needed. Well this Real Estate Investor was paying cash and I knew he liked to Own Rental Properties; so I told him just to hang onto it and rent it out. We looked at what type of rent he could get and it would have been a decent return. I also pointed out that after 6 months he could finance 75% of his purchase price back out of the property; ...

Real Estate Investor Tip of the Day – June 7, 2012 Be calculating when you buy an Investment Property. The Successful Real Estate Investor is looking at three things: 1) Rate of Return on the Investment that will be generate by the rent and property income; 2) Appreciation on the property for long term Capital Gains; or 3) The Flip Potential. Generally if you are buying to hold the Rental Property 1 and 2 are the most important. I see some new investors shopping for a home they would like to live in. However, the extra cost of all the things we might want in our own home does not pay on rental return. In terms of long term appreciation it might be more profitable to buy an Investment Property in a marginal area of town with the potential for gentrification, than to Buy a Home in the bes...
