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.

Financial Title - messy situation

Financial Title shuttered its doors yesterday morning. Unfortunately for some buyers and sellers, there were escrows that were pending to close that day and in the next few days. We are helping with one right now that funded yesterday - into a black hole may I add. The accounting department could not be reached by phone, so no word on whether the wire reached, was rejected, or what. The situation was also worsened by the fact that today is the last day of the month - typically an accounting nightmare for escrow companies normally - and bank commitment letters tend to expire at the end of the month too. Many of the families that planned to move in or out this weekend will have to scramble because these transactions will be in limbo for a few days - if they're lucky. It's a mess and I wish those families the best in this situation.

Luxury Santana Row Condo $1,225,000

Rare 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit facing Santana Row - only two of these exist! This unit has all the amenities of loft units but on one level. Amenities include: 2 parking spaces in secure garage, stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, double pane windows, inside laundry, corner view, and a generous patio that opens out to a view of the Santana Row shops. You don't want to miss out on such a good opportunity to live in this fun filled area with so much excitement, entertainment and great food. To view this unit, call me at 415-269-6249.

Financial Title Insurance Update

Any open escrows are being transferred to First American Title Company from the closed Financial Title offices. First American was underwriting the title insurance policies of Financial Title, so it seems like it will be a straight-forward process. First American is a strong financial institution with very good reserves. I am sure the insurance regulators will be looking far more closely at the other privately held insurance companies regarding their financial stability.
