203k consultant Tehachapi, CaliforniaSo many times you can't find a consultant. Maybe it's because you are searching too close to home, go to the nearest "big city" around yours and see what you can find or, better yet, let us do it for you. We find consultants for you anywhere in the USA. We have been covering your area for about 30 years now, I've been dubbed the largest 203k consultant in the country for many years. I have met some that are pretty large these days. I met one fella recently who has 166 under construction at one time. That is busy. I must admit I know allot more that complain about not having enough business. There is no reason not to have as much as you want. I am always asked about how many 203k loan guarantees were issued in my area last year. You can find that answ... 10/22/2023

FHA 203k is doing great in Bakersfield...and everywhere else as well. You might think that with these higher interest rates that sales would be down. Actually with higher interest rates we find more people wanting to fix up their homes and make it more liveable and the FHA 203k program is a great way to do that. Many times there is no money out of the borrower's pocket, as they have enough equity to cover the difference. If they have more than 20% equity they may fit into a conventional program and opt out of the private mortgage Insurance all together. In any case we now cover the Bakersfield CA area with our renovation team. You need a consultant, CLICK HERE and place your order, we get someone out there ASAP.Whether your home looks like this. Or maybe like this... or anything inbetwe... 10/22/2023

I recently moved from a house that I had built 22 years ago to a house that was built for someone else 33 years ago.  There have been some surprises despite having had (my first ever home inspection).I have a particular home inspector that I really like because he is also a licensed contractor. He likes to tease that he doesn't work anymore -- just does home inspections.  One of the reasons I like him is that he keeps up on changes in code and best practices in the home building and renovation industry.  So, of course, I chose him for my personal inspection.As he always does, he tested every outlet, but one,  in the house.  And they were all operating correctly.  The one he couldn't test was under the brand new carpet in the living room.  Shortly after I moved in, I had all the flooring... 02/25/2019

I suppose it's possible that they still serve a purpose in terms of getting a house sold, but in many cases, the primary purpose seems to be advertising the agent listing the house instead of advertising the house.  Why does it feel this way to me?  When the sign has a picture of the agent that is the most prominent element, what other conclusions would you be led to?From my perspective, there are two primary purposes of putting a sign in the yard of a house for sale: First of all, it makes the house easier to find when one is showing it. Second, for the few random people that are still driving around looking for signs instead of beginning their search on the internet, the sign can be used as an opportunity to get more information about the house. The way that I accomplish the second go... 02/20/2019

Great question, isn't it?  Is a smart home right for you?  My discovery is that on some level almost everyone can benefit from smart home technology.I moved (and downsized!) my own home recently and am in the midst of remodeling to make it truly mine.  I've installed some smart home devices already and the two that I'm loving the most are the August Connect lock on my front door and my Liftmaster garage door opener with the MyQ connectivity app.Why do I love these?  Simple, because when I'm not home, I can see who specifically has entered or left my house by the front door and when the garage door has been used.  I also love that I can easily check remotely to be sure that when the front door has locked after the last contractor has left by the front door that the garage door is also cl... 02/05/2019

 WATER and POWER - A CALIFORNIA HEIST Over the long weekend a friend of mine texted me the name of a great documentary on Netflix he said I must watch, and so I did watch this great movie.  I have been traveling back and forth from Las Vegas to San Jose now for around 4 years for work. On my long 8 hour drives I would drive through Bakersfield and then around 180 miles on Interstate 5.   I-5 runs right through the Central Valley of California and during my drive I would see all these signs about water, etc on the sides of the Interstate.   Signs that read ... Water is for growing Food, No Water, Government Politics Controlling our Water, etc. Over 50% of the farm fields are dried up dirt with no crops growing for many years.There are even families around these areas that have not had wa... 02/23/2018

What's the 2018 Tax Law Mean for Real Estate in Tehachapi?NAR (National Association of REALTORS®) is projecting a 1-3% growth in home values in 2018 but says that in areas with higher housing costs there could actually be a decline in value.  Why is that?The new tax law limits the state (and local) income tax and property tax deductions to $10,000 total.  That will definitely have a big impact in higher property value areas.  For example, a property valued at about $800,000 could expect to pay about $10,000 in property taxes leaving no "room" for a state and local income tax deduction.There are also changes in the amount of mortgage interest that can be deducted, but for loans originated before the end of 2017 and closed before April 1, 2018, they get a pass.  Again, these changes gener... 01/12/2018

Top 5 Things to Make Moving EasierFor most people the thought of moving brings visions of boxes, checklists and potentially missed deadlines.  What if that weren't true?  What if it could be relatively stress free?  Here are the top 5 things to do that will make moving easier and less stressful.-1- Start with the right real estate representative.  There are a couple of reasons why this is so important but let's start with making sure that you are using a REALTOR®, not just a licensed real estate agent.Here's what's important about that...  REALTORS® are member of the local, state and national Associations of REALTORS® which means that in addition to the legal requirements any licensed agent must follow, they have voluntarily agreed to be bound by a more stringent Code of Ethics.  Violat... 11/26/2017

What's the Best Way to Choose Your Real Estate Agent? Choosing the best real estate agent to help you in the purchase or sale of your home can be a daunting task.  Most agents are spending thousands of dollars advertising to attract your attention.  In many cases, all that gets for you is someone that needs to churn out as many transactions as possible in order to cover the cost of all that advertising.So what about online reviews on an agent's website, Yelp, Google or other similar platforms?  That can be a good choice, but think about how useful, or not, those reviews might be.  Generally, a satisfied customer will be happy no matter what and so they will post a positive, glowing review about how great the agent was.Curiously, I've read a bunch of these reviews and rarely find any tha... 10/15/2017
