I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but there are going to be foreclosures in California.  It's a fact of life.  The majority are going to come from landlords who will be losing their rental properties because of the eviction moratorium.  So, if there is a moratorium on evictions, why not on foreclosures?  Well, that's a good question.  Today, the government aka the White House stepped in and put a halt to evictions.  Now, while in no way am I condoning a swift kick in the keester during a pandemic, you have to understand that this is just kicking the can down the road.  At some point, if renters do not pay their mortgage, they will be kicked out of their homes.  

If you are a landlord facing foreclosure, what are your options?  We go over what you can do.  Even if you aren't a landlord, there are options you have to saving your home.  Take a listen and if you'd like to sit down and talk about your options in further detail, feel free to reach out to me at 619-818-2992.

In March, the Mayor and Governor declared a state of emergency due to Covid-19.  They also but a temporary ban on evictions.  Now, renters who cannot pay, this is a good thing, hoping that they will be able to get above water--meantime, there landlords who aren't able to make their mortgage payments. 

This is where I think will be a huge glut of inventory--in the multiunit market.  Today, we talk about when that will likely be and if you are a renter--what you have to do to prove hardship.

Governor Newsom has closed down businesses once again and that's got many people upset.  That's also leaving some people wanting answers.  Can you blame them?  

When the CARES act was passed--homeowners were allowed to put their mortgage on pause.  That allowed people to get. breather.  The challenge is most people did not read the fine print on the paperwork they were signing and now, they're having a balloon payment due.  In today's show we go over what that is, what it means and what you need to know.

Should you stage your home to sell?  Well, I've always been a big proponent of staging homes.  Why?  They sell faster.  Staging a home is like getting ready for a wedding.  You want the bride to look good when she's about ready to walk down the aisle and have everyone in awe.  Selling a home that is staged is much like that.  

Today, we sit down with Danni Kaplan from Everything Creative Designs and talk about what makes her company unique and how far they have come since the started the business.

There has been a lot swirling around about whether or not it's a good idea to do a forbearance on your mortgage. Initially, in the beginning, it sounded like a good idea but as the weeks have trailed along, we've come to realize, it's not a good idea. Today, I sat down with Wes Shaw from Movement Mortgage to talk about why you may want to think twice before you put your mortgage on hold.

Make not mistake, if you can't afford to make the payment, definitely take the options your servicer is offering, however, know what you are getting into before you agree to anything.
