As some of our more regular readers have come to know, we try to take a positive approach to life here at January Financial.

Since I won't be here tomorrow to blog (as I hope the rest of you also won't be) but will be lounging on one of Southern California's sunny beaches, I want to leave you with one of my favorite versions of the Star Spangled Banner. You'll have to actually click on this link to play - it will start...

I love Foothill Ranch, I do. It really is a lovely little community. It's well-groomed and green in spite of the hot weather. In the words of Garrison Keillor, Foothill Ranch is almost a place where "the women are strong, the men are good looking, and all of the children are above average." I do ...

So, here's some "good" news for you! According to my trusted expert Barry Habib and the Mortgage Market Guide, the...

I'm not one to complain about receiving $600 in the mail. But when it comes down to the check I got from the government for the economic stimulus package, I would have rather not gotten it at all. Would you like to know why? most people didn't even spend it, it just went to savings or paying down...

Are you a real estate broker? Mortgage officer? Home buyer? Appraiser? If so, you know that a title report on a property is important, but you probably never read it because most of it is gobbledeegook to all but title and escrow officers and lawyers. One key aspect of a title report is how a pro...

One of the benefits of growing up as an MK (missionary's kid) is that we moved around a lot when I was growing up. The most rural place we ever lived was a pretty little settlement called 108 Mile Ranch. "The 108", as it's called in local nomenclature, is located a couple hundred miles north of t...
