Across the canal is the USS Lexington, take a tour!  Or The Aquarium, I love that.  North Beach is beautiful and dipping your toes in the water is great even in February. It's not too cold.

What Are HUD Homes? What are HUD homes is a common question I hear from home buyers? First of all it is helpful to know what HUD is. HUD is the acronym for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a government agency that provides public housing services through national programs. This department also oversees the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Now that you have a better understanding of what HUD is I can better answer the question of what are HUD homes. HUD homes are HUD real estate owned (REO) 1-to-4 unit residential properties. These homes are foreclosed on and HUD becomes the owner and then puts them on the market for sale to recoup the loss on the foreclosure claim. What are HUD Homes & Can I Buy One? Pretty much anyone that has cash or is qualified for a loan c... 06/27/2013

4153 Harry Street used in a rental scam.  I recently had one of my listings used as a potential rental home in a rental scheme on Craigslist.  This property was NEVER going to be a rental, the folks selling the home were doing just that...selling, not renting their home.  I have had so many calls from interested renters that went by and saw my name on the sign that I have lost track, but it numbers over 50.  The people (just being polite) using my listing in their rental scam even used my pictures and verbage from the MLS in their fraudulent rental ads.  One of the potential victims forwarded me some of the information sent to them by this scammer, I have removed my client's name but the rest is verbatim: From: craigslist 3776845089 To: 3b5c4392022e... 05/16/2013
