As Californians, we're all too familiar with the term "rolling blackouts". These occur when our power grids become overworked. Earlier this year, PG&E announced that they believed their equipment caused the 2018 Camp Fire. A combination of dry vegetation, lack of precipitation, and the Santa Ana winds spurred the Woolsey Fire on. To deter possible fire outbreaks, PG&E plans to implement rolling blackouts. Other utilities may follow suit. If you don't want to be caught without power, consider solar power. Attend a Ventura solar workshop to find out more about it.What: Ventura Solar WorkshopWhere: Ventura City Hall, Community Meeting Room (501 Police St)When: Thursday, July 11th, 5:30 pmAdmission: FREEContact: Community Environmental Council (805) 963-0583 x101Ventura Solar WorkshopJust l...

Approximately 71% of our planet is covered in water. Of that, oceans make up almost 97%. Our oceans help regulate the climate, sustains thousands of species of marine life (that we know of), and provides half of the planet's oxygen supply. Yet, between 1970 and 2012, almost 50% of all known marine life died.

Living on the Pacific Ocean coastline means that Southern Californians enjoy the freshest fish available. Since 1982, Andrea's Seafood Restaurant has served residents and visitors to this beloved Ventura County hotspot. Their clam chowder and hand battered fish and chips made them a worldwide phenomenon. But that's just two of the reasons Andrea's consistently ranks #1 as Ventura's best fresh seafood market. So, it should come as no surprise that their Ventura Saturday Fisherman's Market brings in seafood lovers by the droves.What: Ventura Saturday Fisherman's MarketWhere: Andrea's Seafood Restaurant (1449 Spinnaker Dr)When: Every Saturday, 7 am until 10 am or sold outContact: Andrea's Seafood (805) 218-4888Ventura Saturday Fisherman's MarketStarting at 7 am every Saturday morning, the ...

What is a 1031 Tax Exchange? Why Should I do it? And When?A "1031 Tax Exchange," also known as a Starker Exchange or a Like-Kind Exchange, is a highly powerful tax-deferment tool used by financially successful Real Estate Investors; a tool, which allows folks to keep more of their money, and keep rolling forward, growing and cultivating their investment portfolios. As we push forward, headfirst into 2019, the 1031 Tax Exchange could possibly be one of the Real Estate Investor's BEST tools in his or her arsenal...  WHY?  Because many U.S. city's real estate prices have surpassed the "bubble levels" of 11-12 years ago... And real estate is cyclical.  Real Experts use a 10-12 year cycle as a general rule of thumb for US real estate market cycles.  So... this is why smart investors are doub...
