SAN LUIS OBISPO  CAL POLY UNIVERSITY HOMES Click on below to view- SAN LUIS OBISPO HOMES NEAR CAL POLY           I have lived in the San Luis Obispo are for over 30 years. I am a graduate of Cal Poly University.  I know the market well!  Many parents have the opportunity to buy a home or condo near Cal Poly and have their children live there while going to school.  They can rent out the spare bedrooms to help meet payments.  I have seen parents do this for years.  It is a good idea, and I have helped many clients locate properties near Cal Poly for years.  San Luis Obispo is one of the nicest places to live in!  It has a small town feel, but has all the shopping and activities of a big city.  We are near the beaches and in the heart of wine country.  I love to show people properties in ...

Well Congress did not pass the extension of debt forgiveness for short sales in 2014.  That's right! Despite the fact that short sales are making up less of sales now days, the Congress hasn't acted to extend the break!  What does this mean to real estate agents!  It means that we must disclose this to any short seller, and of course, we have to recommend to them that they consult with their CPA and lawyer about the ramifications of doing a short sale.  In my view it will force many into bankruptcy!  How many people will be effected?  According to Core Logic there are 6 million homes that are still underwater!  Yes, this will hit millions of Americans!  How much does the Federal Government stand to make with the tax income.  It's estimated to raise about $2.7 Billion according to govern...

San Luis Obispo Real Estate  Mortgage Rates 12-20-13  Rates Are Up!!!   The Day Ahead: GDP           Yesterday, the MBS tanked early, pretty scary for a bit, but eventually calmed down.Treasuries were weaker out of the gate, but perfectly flat all day, it appears that the Post-Taper fate is being accepted by the markets. Today, RealGDP growth unexpectedly was revised up sharply. But this time demand numbers were bumped up and the inventory number was little revised. Real GDP was revised up to 4.1 percent annualized, compared to the 3.6 percent second estimate and 2.5 percent in the second quarter. The upward revision was largely due stronger PCEs growth, a boost in the estimate for intellectual property, slightly higher exports, and slightly lower imports.   Dow is trading at 16,244 +6...

When you focus on your goal of home ownership, it is easy to see what priorities are most important. Does budgeting and saving take a little more work? Yes, but the rewards are worth the sacrifices! Being a responsible homeowner is about discipline, and you will feel at peace when you have the self-discipline to make little sacrifices to meet your big goals. Ask yourself and your family: Do we want to be renters 5 years from now? 10 years from now? 20 or even 30 years from now? If home ownership is an important goal, what are you each willing to do to make it work? Put up a photo of your dream home and visualize your new home together as a family. Instead of discussing “if” you will get your home, talk about what you will do “when” you buy your home. See your home and your goal. You can...

Are you thinking of leasing your next car? If so, consider the following questions: What is the suggested retail price of the car compared to the price quoted on the lease? What will the car be worth at the end of the lease? If you decide to buy the car at the end of the lease, what will the price be? What is the interest rate? What is the “total upfront” money required? What are the costs to terminate the lease? What is the annual allowance for mileage and what will it cost if you exceed that? The answers you get from these questions can help guide you in your decision to leasing rather than buying a car.

    Affordable San Luis Obispo Condos For Sale       Yesterday I toured 3 affordable condos right across the street from Cal Poly University.  The condo complex was built by the university to house their staff.  And the university staff have the first crack at the units for the first 30 days, and then they can be bought by the public.  The complex is the best in San Luis Obispo.  The units I toured had super views of the mountains around San Luis Obispo (SLO).  I constantly hear from home buyers that they can't afford to live in SLO.  But there are affordable homes here! I lived in SLO for 30 years, and enjoyed it.  I then moved to the north county to take advantage of the rural countryside.  Perhaps one day I'll go back.  I have a  link below with a list of affordable condos in SLO.  ...

Low Price Homes for sale in San Luis Obispo Ca I have been hearing from many of my web site visitors that San Luis Obispo is too expensive.  I have to differ with their outlook.  There are affordable homes in the city in San Luis Obispo.  I have seen really nice condos for sale near Cal Poly University.  I went through 3 yesterday from $289,000 to $310,000.  The buyers have to be owner occupied, but they have super views of the mountains.  They are a short walk to Cal Poly, just across the street.  I wish I had a condo like one of these to stay in when I went to Poly. Also there are affordable houses for sale in San Luis Obispo.  If you want to do a little work and DIY projects, there are some bargains.  Click on this link to see low price homes in San Luis Obispo Ca.  http://www.mysloh...
