Home Buyers Workshop

CCIM Silicon Valley Group On August 21st

CCIM Silicon Valley is hosting a training session on tenant-landlord disputes. If you work in commercial real estate or have clients that own or lease commercial real estate, then this seminar is for you (and them)! What you don’t know can hurt you, financially. The information presented will help you to select better tenants, use better lease agreements, and help mitigate the chances of losing a lot of $$$ in the event things go wrong in the tenant-landlord relationship.

Our guest speaker will be Phillip Vermont who is a partner at Randick O'Dea & Tooliatos, LLP. Phillip has spoken to CCIM in the past and was very well received.

A large part of his practice is the litigation of complex landlord-tenant disputes primarily on behalf of commercial property owners and property managers. He developed the firm's Unlawful Detainer Single Fee Program to better serve property owners. He has handled over 1000 eviction and lease dispute actions.

This one hour training session will be held on Thursday, August 21st at 9am, at California Banking & Trust at 515 N. 1st Street in San Jose, 95112 on the second floor. Thank you to C.S. Lai, VP of Business Banking, for hosting our group.

This session is open to CCIM district members, their clients and guests. Please send an RSVP back to me so we can estimate the number of people that will attend mario@interorealestate.com.

Horseback Riding In Saratoga Foothills

I recently discovered that I didn't have to drive all the way to Half Moon Bay to go horse back riding. I discovered you can horse back locally just 20 minutes from Downtown San Jose. Garrod Farms Horseback riding in Saratoga Foothills was an awesome experience that I got to enjoy with my two wonderful children. For $40 dollars per person we got to ride for one hour through the Cooper Garrod Vineyards and oak chaparral forests with amazing scenic views and wildlife. Garrod Farms also offers other variety of things such as; Wine tasting, wine rides, lessons, and summer camps. This place was very cool and I didn't have to drive way out the way to enjoy something so fun. I recommend you go!! For more information check out their website http://www.garrodfarms.com/.

How should you finance a home?

Is it always, "give me the best rate?" or "the best payment?" Many of us have learned that painful lesson over the last couple years. Negative amortization is not the only loan to be wary of. The assumption is that your home will be the biggest investment of your life. If you know my point of view, I hope it is your first big investment of your life and you have the foresight to have many other true real estate investments in your portfolio. And what about how to buy that investment or really how to finance that investment? A $500,000 house purchase seems like a large investment, especially when you call it "half a million dollars". Although really, you are buying your 10% or 20% down payment part, the other $400,000 or $450,000 is being financed. That is where you should pay much attention. My great lender friend and financial consultant, Yulin Lee at Opes Advisors can guide you in choosing a loan based on your overall financial picture. Again - not just "best rate" or "best payment" - more so - "what loan best fits what I want my overall financial picture to look like. The stud lenders of today will take a comprehensive look at your financial picture before suggesting a loan to you. That's the type of lender you want in your corner.
