Sunset Junction retail rental CMA   Some good Financial info disclosed in this  2013 article link  regarding Sunset Junction storefront retail rental CMA-- Le Pink & Co. the Sunset Boulevard cosmetics/candles retail store is now up for sale at an “undisclosed price,” according to LoopNet.com.    "$2,500 a month rent for the 800 sq/ft shop located in the Sunset Junction retail district."   The current lease expires in July 2014, with the landlord willing to extend the agreement for three years. "But expect to pay $2,900 a month during the last of those two years." ($3.63 sq ft)  The Le Pink & Co. rental comp somewhat disproves the idea that a retail business needs a glut of parking to thrive, and that the more walkable-friendly places / equally bicycle accessible are becoming some of the...

If you are currently renting a home or apartment in Silver Lake or Echo Park and are considering buying your first property, does it have to be single family home?   Why not start off with an income property instead of a house and stop throwing money away on rent?  Your landlord has been letting you pay his mortgage, why not let somebody help you pay yours instead?  Qualifying to buy 2 to 4 units is not much different than getting a mortgage for a single family home. PLUS, some of the income generated by the unit(s) you are not occupying yourself can be counted towards your own income to qualify you for a higher purchase price. Why not make your first Silver Lake home be a duplex or 2 houses on a lot? My husband and I did exactly that when we bought our first property.   Silver Lake  re...

By now, the term “short sale” is part of the common vocabulary, but if you’re not sure exactly what that means, please read the post: What buyers and sellers should know about Los Angeles short sales. If you have been asking ‘Can I sell my Silver Lake home as a short sale”, read on! If you’re upside down, you’re not alone… Most homeowners who purchased in Silver Lake during the height of the market now owe more on their mortgage than the house will bring in today’s market. In many cases, the difference is dramatic. But simply owing more than your Silver Lake home is worth today doesn’t qualify you for a short sale.Each lender has its own standards for determining whether or not they’ll approve you for a short sale. Primarily, you must prove some kind of hardship. If you have the means t...

FHA Approved-Bank Owned Homes-Silverlake-Mount Washington-Eagle Rock-Munson Realty FHA Approved-Bank Owned Homes-Silverlake-Mount Washington-Eagle Rock-Munson Realty FHA loans are perfect for first time home buyers who don’t have a 20% down payment saved or who need assistance with more flexible qualification requirements. FHA-approved lenders offer FHA loans that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Because FHA loans are designed to help first-time home buyers, there are differences compared to traditional loans. One difference is that income and allowable debt are subject to more flexible loan qualification requirements than a traditional loan, making it easier to qualify for this type of loan. Another difference is that there’s a maximum loan amount, the limit of ...

If you were disappointed to see that this Richard Neutra Silver Lake duplex showed up in the MLS on the market November 14 of this year with a pending status, you are getting a second crack at it. For reasons unknown, the Koblick Residence came back on the market December 5, giving fans of the mid-century architecture and would-be duplex owners an opportunity to buy this piece of Silver Lake history. Located at 1816-1818 Silverwood Terrace in Silver Lake, this 1,620 sf duplex with cantilevered porches was originally built in 1937 for art professor Harry Koblick at a cost of $8,500. The top unit is 2 bedrooms and 1 bath overlooking the Silver Lake reservoir. The lower unit sits above the garage and consists of 1 bedroom and 1 bath. The units are currently renting for $1,180 and $1,890 re...

What a great Loan program FHA is, you can get into a home with as little as 3.5% down and have the seller pay your closing cost! But of course, FHA is one of the most challenging loans when it comes to actually finding the home and getting the seller to accept your offer. Believe me I know, 95% of my current buyers are utilizing FHA loans. But I will tell you this; they are typically in escrow within 4 weeks, mostly within 2 weeks! The bottom line is, DON'T GIVE UP! So what's the challenge with FHA Home loans? • Finding Homes that qualify for FHA (not all do) • Finding Sellers that will accept your offer (many are unfamiliar and don't have savvy agents guiding them)• Too many search sources (paralysis by analysis)• Buyers agents not skilled or savvy with FHA (or just lazy)• Lack of foc...
