One student gave his extra three ribbons to a junior executive in a nearby company who had helped him with his career planning.  The executive in turn gave his two extra ribbons to his boss, who was a very difficult man to work for, but the executive recognized his intelligence as a businessman and told him of the positive influence he’d had, calling him a “creative genius.

The business owner was moved by the experience and decided, since he had’t had much time with his teenage son recently, to give his extra ribbon to his son.  He told his son that he realizes how busy he’s been and that he’s been treating his son like an employee, never seeming to be satisfied with his performance.  He said he just wanted to take a moment to honor his son and tell him how much he matters.

The son broke down and wept.  The father, not understanding, asked what was the problem and the son told him he didn’t think anyone cared about him.  He then went to his bedroom and brought out a suicide note and a gun.  He handed them to his father and said he had planned to use the gun that night “…but now I don’t think I’ll be needing them.”

Now it was the father’s turn to break down.

The business owner was never the same again.  He began treating everyone with respect and made it a point to honor his employees and his family, and to let them know how much they matter to him.

Now, we’re passing these blue ribbons on to you.

Have an awesome day, Temecula…and if you are in any kind of housing distress, just be aware that it doesn’t say anything about you.  You are awesome no matter what.

But, is there a danger? Prior to 1982, a homeowners in California had protection from lender interference in a Real Estate transaction, even if it involved the new buyer assuming responsibility for the existing mortgage payments.  Lenders were allowed to interfere with a transaction only when it was necessary to protect the lender’s security interest.  In 1982, these protections were superseded by a new federal policy (driven by lender lobbies) allowing lenders to add the infamous “Due On Sale” clause to every mortgage note.  Specifically this clause states that when the property is transferred to a new owner, the lender may call the loan due in full, without cause, and to foreclose on the property if it is not fully paid in 30 days.   This means that lenders now are motivated to make the decision based on what is most profitable for the bank without regard to the buyer or seller situation, stability or the security for the loan.

This clause has, and will continue to discourage Real Estate sales and the recovery because it injects a level of extreme uncertainty and risk for everyone involved.*  Or does it? Ask almost any Real Estate Investor and you’ll be told that “The banks just don’t do that…” and they may cite hundreds of transactions over many years in which it wasn’t done. BUT, the fact is, the banks do sometimes call these loans due, when it is in their best financial interest to do so.  Duncan Wierman, one of the top Real Estate Investors in South Carolina reports that it has happened to him twice and as a result, he will never do a subject-to purchase again.**  If it makes common sense to believe the banks will not call loans due and trigger foreclosures in a down market, it also makes sense that they will take such action as soon as the properties have equity and/or mortgage rates rise significantly…or just for no apparent reason like so many of the banks’ current choices: unpredictable and frequently counter to any reasonable logic.

Undoubtedly there are circumstances in which these subject-to type strategies pose an acceptable risk, for example in a case where the buyer has a time-frame in which to re-finance out of the existing loan. Nevertheless, we as investors must build our business on as much certainty as possible and using these strategies with impunity could create a “ticking time bomb” that could put you out of business, and maybe in jail.  Just think carefully about what you are doing and consider any alternative that mitigates risk.

For all you who are in any form of housing distress, we can help. If you are trying to sell your home, even if you are under-water, let us know by clicking the “Sell a Home” button at the top of the page.  We have many tactics to solve your problem without putting you and your family at risk.  If you are trying to buy a home and getting nowhere with the banks, go to the “Buy a Home” button above and let us help you.  Again, there are numerous strategies that can be activated so you don’t risk losing your home to some banker’s lack of concern for your welfare.

And, true to form, he puts his money where his mouth is, having just acquired a lead brick manufacturer in Alabama and a $55 million roofing plant in Ohio.

It seems to me that the banks have been holding the housing market hostage for about as long as they are able and pretty soon, the log-jam will break loose.  We wonder about the “shadow inventory” of housing waiting for foreclosure and release to the marketplace…will it cause a deeper decline in values?  a “double-dip”?  Nobody really knows but if it does, it is likely to be short-lived and when the recovery begins, it could accelerate very quickly.  Remember the housing “bubble?”  We all know it was created by over-inflated property values but now it seems things have over-corrected and we have just the opposite of the housing bubble.  When this one pops, market values may take off just as fast as they fell a couple years ago.  If they fell in your neighborhood (and whose didn’t?) then they will rise in your neighborhood.  If you have a chance to buy a home now, in Temecula or in any city, do it.  Do it now!  Again…just my opinion…but one shared (apparently) by Warren Buffett.

If you are looking for ways to invest in the housing market in Southern California, contact us at temeculahomesellers@gmail.com  If we can’t help you, we know someone who can.

Leave a comment…what do you think?  Is Warren Buffett jumping the gun here?  Is he right about the housing market recovery?  If he’s right, will it bring about the economic recovery in general that we are all hoping for?  How does all this effect you?

What do you think? Might Temecula home prices be effected? Could this trigger hyper inflation? How could it effect RE Investing in general? Post your comments here…

Price just reduced $8,000

Manufactured home with Southwestern facade. 2 bed 2 bath Fixer Upper, 1248 square feet. 4.8 flat usable acres, great location in Anza very close to pavement. Amazing mountain views, clean air and four seasons. Driving distance to Temecula, Hemet and Palm Desert. Seller will finance!!!

Each month you write a check for rent.  Haven’t you looked at that check every month and thought “At this rate, I could BUY a home!”  It’s amazing how many people are renting and paying up to 30% MORE than a mortgage payment would be in today’s market, hating to do it but feeling stuck, like you have no options.  Well, you do have options that you probably don’t even know about and your window of opportunity may close soon because prices have begun to creep up in California and around the nation.

Do you think you don’t have good enough credit?  It’s not a problem.  We can help you buy a home even if your credit is shot!  As long as you can qualify with enough income to pay today’s rents, you can qualify for a seller financing deal or a Rent-To-Own deal.

Do you think you don’t have enough down payment to buy a home?  Again, you don’t need much.  Even if you were to move to a different rental, you’d need security deposit, first, and often last month’s rent…and sometimes qualifying for a rental is harder than some of our options for buying! The amount of cash needed for our deals is often not much more than what it would take to get into a rental and you know, if you had to, you’d find a way to come up with that much at least.

Would you like to get a puppy?  Seriously, renting with pets can be a nightmare and in your present location you are likely to have restrictions so you can’t bring a pet in.  If you are buying, pets are not an issue.  We even have property with acreage for a large breed dog, if that’s what you want.

The key question you need to answer is, WHAT DO YOU WANT?  We’ve all heard the positive-thinking gurus say that you can accomplish anything if you want it bad enough.  Well…you’ve wanted a home of your own for a long time (or maybe you’ve just lost a home and are “forced” to rent.)  Now, you don’t even need to want it that much to be able to achieve it.  In today’s market there are numerous home sellers who are in need of solutions of their own and will work with you to make it happen.

So, here’s your assignment to get started:

1. Define the home you want as clearly as you can: how many bedrooms, bathrooms, garage, locations, etc.

2. Add up all your financial resources:
– Cash for a deposit / down payment
– Total Family Income – add it all up so you can determine how much you can afford to pay each month.
– Total outstanding debts.  No matter how you cut it, you need to have enough income to pay your credit card and auto loans in addition to your new mortgage.  If your outstanding debt is too high, we can advise you how to deal with it so you can qualify to buy a home.

3. Recognize who we are.  “Ananda” means the same as “Agape” – Universal Love, compassion.  Ananda Homes is here to help.  For a free, no obligation recorded message about how we can help you, call our toll-free number:

Fantastic wholesale deal in Orlando, FL. Fully remodeled home located just off Golf Club Parkway in an amazing park-like setting (with a pond) at the end of the row of houses with over a block of grassy space (city-maintained) to the next home on the south and west sides. The home features new appliances, new Furnace, New Central Air Conditioning, New Water Heater, New Ceiling fans throughout and all new double-pane windows and sliding glass doors. Built in 2003, it is only seven years old, brick construction on a concrete slab so it is solid and more safe than typical homes from dangers like termites and fire. Newly painted inside and out, it’s like new. Stable tenants are the big feature, paying $895 per month on an annual lease (through November 2011.) And the price is right! Seller is motivated with an upcoming hard money loan balloon. $70,000 is a steal for this turn-key cash-flowing property. This home sold for $160,000 in 2006 and the latest appraisal (pre-rehab) in Oct. 2009 was $119,000. Buy it to hold just a few years and easily double your money!

Well, maybe this architect’s home wasn’t foreclosed.  It’s maybe more accurate to say he was evicted but what’s most interesting is that he lived in an EGG!

That’s right, Dai Haifei, had designed and built a 100% green abode in the shape of an egg.  In China and Japan, small is popular but a home the size of a Honda is a bit too small for anyone who wants to own a home in Temecula, or anywhere in Southern Californa for that matter.  To better sell his home, Mr. Haifei placed his home on the sidewalk outside the office where he worked.  Of course, the city council of Beijing didn’t approve.  Mr. Haifei was required to remove his home from the sidewalk.  He’s now living with friends till he can find a home of his own, or till he can find a better location for his egg.

Too bad he didn’t have someone like us to call who would make a quick cash offer to buy his home

The best part of this story though, is definitely something Californians can relate to…the possibility of having a completely energy independent home.

It is quite possible to do this in the Temecula Valley but your first step is to buy a home now, while the prices are so incredibly cheap.  Once you are a home owner, you can take advantages of the many rebates and tax credits for installing solar, wind and other forms of natural, sustainable energy for your home.

Do you think you can’t buy a home right now?  If you have a stable income and even a small amount of cash for a down payment, you absolutely can buy a home in Temecula, Murrieta, Corona, or anywhere in Riverside County.  We have home owners who need to sell but can’t find buyers who qualify for bank financing.  These homes are available to you on a Rent To Own basis, or in many cases, the sellers themselves are willing to carry the financing so they can sell their home.

If you would like to buy a home before the values skyrocket again, be sure to click on the “BUY A HOME” button at the top of this page or go to http://www.anandahomesellers.com and fill out the free report form.

Now, when I look around, we are living in the most incredible of times, with 3D films, HDTV, even 3DTV, home-ownership available to virtually everyone, and conveniences we only dreamed about in the Sixties and Seventies.  In so many ways, we’ve enjoyed forty years of ever-increasing prosperity, especially here in California.  Nonetheless, if anything, what I hear from folks is an incipient hopelessness.

It’s as if most people have such a fear of what’s coming that they can’t see what’s here, and if you really look at what’s here, you can’t help but be filled with enthusiasm for what’s coming!

For one thing, the housing prices have never been more affordable and the chance to become a homeowner in California has never been so great…or so easy!

Not only have the homes become affordable but the use of creative financing strategies has reached a new pinnacle of sophistication and ease.  Yeah…we all know the banks are in trouble and are not lending (even it seems to people with the best credit) but that doesn’t mean a thing.  In fact, we may find that the kind of financing strategies we’re using today will be much better for the economy in general than the bank-dominated economy of the past several decades.

In the past, the banks’ incredible wealth (mostly gained through what are now being called fraudulent activities) would stay with the bankers and the Wall Street investors who owned the stock.  Now, that wealth is being re-distributed to private lenders and home sellers who are financing the deals at interest rates well beyond what the banks could charge even if they were lending.

In addition, we all know Real Estate travels through a predictable cycle of value ups and downs.  We know that we’ve hit the bottom for this cycle and in the next few years the values will go up again.  Anyone who can buy now will reap huge gains, even if they have to pay higher interest than the banks are charging (or not charging, since they are not lending!)

If you are looking to buy a home, or currently renting and would like to join us in this new age of wealth creation, be sure to click on the “BUY A HOME” button at the top of this page or go to http://www.anandahomesellers.com and fill out the free report form.

Most have the attitude that they don’t work, the banks are not responsive and it’s a lost cause. Of course many of the new faces in congress have been saying that the bailouts were a mistake from the beginning but now the attitude is catching on. Billions of dollars in bailouts intended to help the banks produce loan modification options for home owners have simply been wasted money and there are sure to be many discussions about that “wasteful spending” in months and years to come.

The foreclosure moratorium

The moratorium announced by many of the big banks is causing concern in Washington because everyone believes that the economy in general will not pull out of this recession until the defaulted mortgage problem is solved. Economically distressed home owners may find that they can stay in their homes a bit longer but the damage a foreclosure can do their credit is significant.

In response, several service agencies like Ananda Home Sellers have found creative strategies such as Short Sale and Lease Option Matching to resolve property issues without foreclosure. Congress is now focusing their support on these creative approaches. This is the time to explore those options because when the banks get past this snag, they’ll be foreclosing at a faster pace than ever!

Inflation and high interest rates

If you’ve been listening, you’ve heard this. The government has been printing money and injecting it into the economy to try and stimulate growth but inflation always results when an excess of money is present at a time of depressed productivity. Unemployment, the lack of jobs, and production going overseas, are typical signs of depressed productivity and the government can only hold back inflation artificially for so long.

Now, with the new Republican influence in Congress, it is expected that the stimulus activities that have helped keep things in check will be dismantled and inflation will accelerate. The Federal Reserve will have no choice but to start increasing interest rates because that is the only lever they have to keep inflation in check.

We’re in for another dip in home values

Higher interest rates and increased inflation will make it even harder to find buyers and that translates to further drops in prices. Even now, if you’ve been watching the market in Riverside County, homes that are currently priced perfectly to match recent comparative sales would have sold in a matter of weeks just a few months ago.

Now they sit for months on end without any offers.

This is a sure sign that prices will drop again as home sellers compete for the limited buyer pool and this will only get worse as interest and inflation go up. If you are thinking you need to sell your home in the next year, you should do it now and agencies like Ananda Home Sellers who have buyers waiting in line for nice homes are the perfect approach. We have strategies that are proven successful in quickly selling homes for current market value and sometimes even more.

“Freaky Friday” (yesterday’s races at Churchill Downs) as it’s now called saw Jockeys Calvin Borel and Javier Castellano trading punches after the first Breeders’ Cup race, with an enraged Borel needing to be restrained.

Already today, in one of the most amazing performances of all time, Pluck ran behind in the Juvenile Turf Race till the last quarter after almost running into Rough Sailing (jockey Rosie Napravnik) who fell just out of the gate, but amazingly, Garrett Gomez pushed Pluck to the front like being shot out of a cannon to take the win!  Fortunately, Rosie Naprovnik suffered no injuries but the horse, Rough Sailing, fractured a shoulder and had to be put down.

Another exciting event today already, Dakota Phone, a 37-1 long shot, came in from the back to win the BC Dirt Mile but the best so far was when Goldikova won the $2 million Mile for the third consecutive year, the first horse in history to earn the distinction of 3 Breeder’s Cup consecutive wins.

We are now just minutes from the Big Race and Zenyata’s chance to finish her career with a perfect record of 100% wins.

If you’re not watching, tune in to ESPN.  They run at 6:45pm EST, or streaming online at:

http://www.breederscup.com
…or direct link to the streaming video:

UPDATE : After 19 consecutive wins, Zenyata finally loses…but only by a nose in the Breeders Cup final race. Zenyata had trouble at the beginning of the race and it almost looked like Jockey Mike Smith was pulling her up. Through the first half we started thinking she had come up lame as she fell hopelessly farther back from the pack. Even at the back stretch she was more than 18 lengths behind the leader when she started finding her legs and Mike Smith had to push her through the middle of the pack to shoot to the front. It was one of the most spectacular moments in racing history to see Zenyata come from that far back to the front and only lose by a nose to Blame, the front runner. Congratulations to Zenyata and to Mike Smith for giving us another memorable experience, and for being, in my opinion, the top horse in the world.

Around town you can find nearly 50 different parks and more than 15 hiking trails. There is a community center that offers a myriad of activities for people of all ages. There is also a skate park and a new veterans memorial. There are plans underway for the development of a huge retail complex in the area known as the Golden Triangle, where the 15 and 215 intersect.

Since the early 80’s when the I-15 was run through the valley, it has been a place of constant growth. Murrieta really is a town on the move. In 1980 there were only a couple thousand residents. Compare that with 24,000 when Murietta became a city in 1990. Today the city is home to more than 100,000 residents. Notably, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes live in Murrieta.

Many people are drawn to Murrieta because of the low housing costs when compared to Los Angeles, San Diego, and the rest of California. It is considered by some to be a perfect commuter town, a suburb close enough to both San Diego and Los Angeles to make work in the larger cities accessible. The city is also notorious for being one of the safest in the entire country, with a crime rate that is very low, by far the lowest in the Southern California area. It is truly a beautiful city with a lot to offer its residents and guests. A perfect place to raise a family and own a home!

Owners, on the other hand, haven’t changed what they spend on housing over the last few years. Homeowners who spend more than that “unaffordable” 30% of their income on all their costs, from mortgages to taxes, is less than 38% of all homeowners in the US. And those 38% of homeowners aren’t too bad off considering that they have a home that is theirs, a true investment.

With the recent downturn in the economy, more than a million people in the US have started renting again. This has increased demand and the cost of rent has gone up with it. With higher rent and less money to spend, the economy is hit even harder. That is where specialists like us come in. We can help people who rent get into affordable housing that they own. When an investment is made that benefits someone’s life, that benefit helps everyone: the buyer, the seller, the community, and the economy as a whole. Whether you are interested in buying or selling real estate, get in touch with us now!

These five reasons focus on the real estate climate here and the importance of home ownership. In other posts we discuss the many attractions this wonderful town has to offer. Lets get down to brass tax:

1: The time is right to buy a home

Houses are available now in and around temecula for much less than only a couple years ago. But that might not last for long. Look at the percentage of homes whose value has increased over the past year: it is dramatic! Just look at the graph to the right, it shows the percentage of homes that increased in value recently.

And yet there is a surplus of nice properties available at low prices, almost half the state’s average cost for real estate. Now is the time to think about your options.  Owning a home is a good investment in the future, and there are ways to get you into a home that YOU OWN!

2: You work hard and deserve to own a home

You have a job and make enough money for payments, but people may still be telling you that you don’t have what it takes to be approved for a loan or buy a home. That should not discourage you from making your dream a reality!

There are opportunities now,  and even if you think you don’t have enough saved up to put money down,  we can help. Even if you have less than perfect credit (or even bad credit) there is hope. We know how tough it can be.

3: You are paying a landlord when that money could pay for your own home

Think about it: You earn money and spend it on a rental that will never be yours. If you spend $1000 a month on rent, in ten years you’ve put $120,000 into someone else’s pocket, just to live in their house. Doesn’t it “feel” like that isn’t the best way to do things? We can help you find ways to own a home that make sense and are affordable.

Now we are not trying to say that renting is bad, or that your landlord is bad, but there are much better ways to spend your money that you don’t know about because they aren’t widely available. Rental is a losing strategy in the long term. Building a better future for you and your family starts with knowing your options.

4: A home gives you freedom, security and a smart investment

When you own your home, you can decorate, rebuild, and add to your house as much as you want. Any fears about fines and eviction go away. You’re probably a great tenant, but maybe you worry about having a party, changing locks, building a deck, installing a hot tub or having dogs. There are lots of restrictions on what you can do when you rent. But when you own the house you live in, there is a world of possibilities open to you. You can cut costs on electricity by having solar panels installed and made affordable by tax breaks. Try asking your landlord for that!

Just as important is the investment you are making by owning a home. Once you pay off the mortgage, you own the home and the payments end. You still have to pay bills, but just imagine you paid those bills anyways and you rented a home for many  years. The whole time you could have been paying off your morgage, possibly for less than rent, and you own the property at the end of it all.

Doesn’t that “feel” like a good investment?

5: You have an untapped resource waiting to be explored

When you contact us at Ananda Partners, we can explain ways to achieve home ownership that real estate agents and banks don’t know about (or don’t want you to know about!) We are financial problem solvers. Even when everyone else tells you that you can’t do it, we can help you own a home.

The largest farmers market is in Old Town Temecula on Saturdays from 9-1 on 6th and front street. There is also a farmers market that takes place at the Promenade Mall in the lot by Macy’s & JCPenny on Wendesdays from 9-1. They both have some of the same vendors, and offer a whole lot more than just fruits and veggies. They have honey, bread, oil, live plants and even worms and their castings for organic growers!

When you want healthy places to shop for food to cook at home but it isn’t a Wednesday or a Saturday, you can always go to Sprouts Natural Market at 40458 Winchester Road or try Henrys Farmers Market on 32413 Temecula Parkway. Both of those places have higher prices than the true farmers markets, but they’ve got a good selection of healthy food.

We prefer these stores to the big  supermarkets, although both stores mentioned do have supermarket-like qualities. If possible, plan ahead and go out to the local farmers market. You’ll be glad you got out of the house on a sunny afternoon for the healthiest stuff in town!

[See image gallery at temeculahomesellers.com] This is the 12’th Valley of the Mist Quilt Guild’s Outdoor Quilt Show. It is a great reason to go out and enjoy the town on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It will be covering six blocks of Old Town Temecula where there are a variety of shops and restaurants. There is an area where vending of quilts and other events will be happening. A certified quilt appraiser will be there and numerous quilts are available to see and purchase.
You can click on the image to the left to view a flyer for the event.

Old Town Temecula is a neighborhood full of buildings and homes dating back to the late 1800’s.  Theres lots of shopping and specialty food, and the town has events like this one throughout the year.

The wife had to work all week so the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following evening. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room with internet, so he decided to send an email to his wife. Using a webmail service without his normal address book, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address and without realizing his mistake, he sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile in Temecula a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. The widow decided to check her e-mail expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife

Subject: I’ve Arrived

Date: September 16, 2010

I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and we are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P. S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!!

On the roster of celebrities attending the event is the musician Kenny Loggins, who will be receiving an award  for outstanding achievement in music. Kenny Loggins will also be playing in concert at the Pechanga Resort and Casino on October 29’th, and tickets are just about sold out already. They probably won’t be available in a week.

There will also be an entertainment icon award for famous actress Raquel Welch. She has early ties to the Temecula area.  Back in 1959 at age 18 she played leading role in the Ramona Pageant in Hemet. You may remember her in an animal hide bikini back in the 1960’s remake of One Million Years BC where her role as a prehistoric diva made her an instant sex symbol.
