No credit check for home buyersHow many homes could you sell if there is no credit check. I found out years ago that Cal-Vet doesn't check your credit and can close exceptionally fast if you merely are a veteran and put down 30% or more.I was buying a home and after a week called them to see when they might close the loan. I was shocked to find out that they could close tomorrow I had been pre-approved by putting down more than 30%. They have less than a 1% default rate when people put down 30% or more.Now to qualify as a Cal-Vet you merely need to have served in active duty regardless of where you entered the service and must be buying a home in CA.        downtown 11/13/2020

From our home in Land Park to the Amador Flower Farm on Shenandoah in Plymouth, it takes about an hour to drive. But it's a beautiful panamora, tranversing Jackson Highway 16: golden rolling hills, sturdy oak trees, gorgeous blue sky. My husband's plan was to stop in Midtown for lunch because he recalled there being no nice restaurants between us and Plymouth. Or, maybe that was an excuse to go to dim sum, I dunno.But I immediately thought of the Sloughhouse Inn, which has since been transformed. You can see a lot more photographs and read more in my personal blog today at this link: Amador Flower Farm Daylilies on Sale. 09/16/2018

What a tragic event that you are having to endure. We are so very sorry for your losses. You have to take action however and we are trying to get the word out.  Don't let anyone remove your foundation. When Katrina hit years ago, we volunteered to get down there and see what we could do to help, HUD told us no, we have it under control. Then FEMA moved those temporary trailer housing into the area, many people relocated, wow, we'll we are sad to report the government didn't do much to rebuild, in fact, very little if anything. The homes around New Orleans are still in disrepair, the water and sewer systems are still not in and operational, and we could have done all this if they had only let us.We cannot let this happen in CA, These cities and towns and you and your neighbors deserve mu... 09/24/2015

Met an interesting guy at Homestead Mortgage in Jackson CA yesterday after doing a 203k inspection. He specializes in the Steamlined k whie I was doing a "full 203k" for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage - Jacob Warren. Jacob is one of the more knowledgeable renovation lenders in CA. Lots of people say they do the 203k but not everyone can close them in a timely manner.  This home is a newer home that has been neglected and needs some TLC... no problem for the 203k loan program, why, then is it a "full 203k" and not a streamlined k? Simple due to the amount of work being just too close to that $35,000 threshold.  It is a falicy to thing it is really a $35,000 limit for  "non structral repairs". The $35,000 also includes costs and fees. If you go over about $34,200 or if your lender requires a c... 07/22/2011

I was supposed to list a home in Rancho Covdova this weekend. But the seller of that short sale isn't quite ready yet, and she canceled our appointment. That's too bad because in another month, we'll be moving into the slower season. People think that selling in summer is the best time to put your home on the market, but it's not. Still, if you have to do a short sale, what choice have you got? You call your Sacramento short sale agent, and you go on the market. That cancellation did leave me free, though, to take a short trip with my husband to the Amador Flower Farm. It's about an hour out of Sacramento, down Highway 16 toward Jackson and then right on Shenandoah School Road. The day lilies are beautiful right now. This nursery boasts more than 800 varieties of flowers. Plus, it's sma... 06/27/2011

Sorta by mistake, my husband and I ended up in Ione, CA, yesterday. Unlike many of the tourists who probably frequent Ione and support its 3 restaurants, we weren't there to visit loved ones in residence at Mule Creek Prison. The photo to the left is of Iron Ivan, a steam locomotive that was in operation from 1937 to 1956, a 12-mile stretch between Ione and Martell. Ione is a small town, smaller than 5 square miles, in the Central Valley in Amador County. It's about an hour from Sacramento. During the Gold Rush, it was a supply center where the railroad ran through and horse-drawn stagecoaches stopped along the main road to the Mother Lode. The first time I heard of the town of Ione was when a former client moved there. She and her husband had hired me to sell their short sale in Sacram... 05/31/2011

(Slide Show contains 11 images)After visiting Daffodil Hill a few days back, with a daughter and three granddaughters, we literally fell into the little town of Volcano - 2 miles away.Volcano (Formerly Soldier's Gulch) is another of those little Gold Rush gems, which provides rich color to the Wild West era tapestry.   It is considered by many to be one of the most picturesque of the Mother Lode towns.Dating back in history to the late 1850s, the town was originally nicknamed "Crater City."  Early miners noticed the lay of the land was a bowl-shaped valley, which caused them to believe it was formed by a volcano.There is a story that in 1849 one miner took out 8 thousand dollars worth of gold in a few days - that was in 1849 dollars.  Another got 28 pounds in a single pocket.Volcano boa... 04/11/2010
