How much is your home worth? (free report)We recently sold this wonderful investment property in Sacramento, California.  It had been a rental for the last few years and there was a lot of work to do to get it ready for the market.  We had to remove a large amount of stuff the renter left in the house, clean it thoroughly,  paint most of the interior and exterior, replace carpet in two rooms and get a fair amount of dry rot repair done (see dry rot repair tip below). It looked great when we put it on the market and it sold very quickly.  My client wanted to avoid taxes when selling this product so we utilized a 1031 exchange.  My client is replacing this property with a rental property in Destin, Florida.  Yes, you can trade an investment property in California for an investment propert... 02/07/2022

Our last Capitol Beer Fest was held the week before California was locked down due to the pandemic and we had to postpone it this spring, but we are back.  It is the number one fundraiser for Runnin for Rhett, the local charity that I support.  We are dedicated to getting our community to Move Into Life.  Twice a year we send coaches to local schools to train kids to run, what for many, is their first 5k.  It is all free; the training, the race, a t-shirt and their medal.  We also fund raise to give one thousand kids that need them, a pair of running shoes.Capitol Beer Fest will be a fun event with over 100 different brewers offering selections of their different beers and hard ciders.  Make sure to visit our local Elk Grove brewer, Dreaming Dog.  They have been a big supporter of our l... 10/15/2021

I often say my greatest regret in life was missing Woodstock. However, during the time of that colossal event, I was busy raising kids, and that wasn't all bad. Coupled with my children's achievements, and those of my grandkids, I often feel I'm dwelling in the midst of a rock star existence.Today, I received news my grandson, John Luis, who graduated from Rice University last year, began his Physician Assistant Program at Oklahoma State University. 06/28/2021

  Restricted showings have always been a part of real estate and many times can even be appropriate.  For example, a client works all night and has to sleep during the day or there are dogs on the property that need to be removed.  There can be lots of reasons, but when the market gets really strong for sellers, this practice goes way up.Last week, a buyer asked me to see seven homes.  I immediately started trying to make contact with the listing agents to make appointments to view the homes and I followed their rules.  Six of the listings had instructions to call, text or email to make an appointment.  Three were listed on a Monday with first showings limited to Fri., Sat, and/or Sun., with very limited times.  I was able to get an appointment with the non-agent contact right away.  I ... 03/06/2021

   The New Hope Community Church, a congregation of 100 members, saw a need to feed their surrounding South Sacramento neighborhood in which one in three live below the poverty line. They started a program in 2007 called The Gift of Groceries. They feed about 300 families every week.  Since they began, they have supplied over eight million pounds of food to 500,000 people.  They have done it by partnering with the Sacramento Food Bank, Raley's Grocery Store and Lifepointe Church members.  They gave over one million pounds of food to over 48,000 people last year alone.  It is a great example of a small group with a big vision helping a community by leveraging the help of others.     Their success at helping others has come at a cost.  The weight of the food and the forklift to move it ha... 03/01/2021
