Picking the right person to work with to help you with you financing can be a challenge. Take the time to ask question about the person you are working with before you act. The biggest advise I give is to think long term instead of short term regarding your financing so that you are not controlled by the change of an interest rate or the attraction of saving a little money in the short term.

The beauty of Lake Tahoe can not be beat. The activities are vast and the weather in the summer is revitalizing. It is hard to find a more perfect place winter or summer. I truly love Lake Tahoe. The only-thing negative at all is the amount of people that come to enjoy Lake Tahoe. It is Crowded beyond it's capacity and has made the Lake Tahoe area suffer from urban congestion. Many times I have have enjoyed an outing near the lake only to get caught in a irritating traffic jam while we were getting back to where we are staying. This problem has become more the norm and common place in the Tahoe region.  There is an alternative, the Ebbetts Pass corridor. It offers much of the same beauty of the Tahoe Region but it has one difference. It is never crowded. You can find a place to hike and... 07/21/2007
