C’MON BABY, LET’S DO THE TWIST

idxcentral — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 18:53:32 +0000

C’MON BABY, LET’S DO THE TWIST
Last week the Fed revived a policy, “Operation Twist,” dubbed for Chubby Checker’s hit, in which $400 billion of their portfolio will convert from medium to long term bonds. This creates buying pressure, lowers interest rates and affects long term borrowing i.e. mortgages. Good news for home purchase/refinance, even as it sent Wall Street, gold and silver on a hyperbolic ride.
Without question, there’s no better time to refinance your home mortgage. Even if you have refinanced before, it may profitable to do it again. Call Michael, free and without obligation, for an analysis of the savings you may reap on your mortgage.

HOME SALES UP 8.8%

idxcentral — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:38:37 +0000

HOME SALES UP 8.8%
Home sales rose 8.8% statewide in August and 10.2% over the same month last year, a modicum of good news amidst a tepid market. 52% of those sales were in Southern California. Meanwhile, bank savings climbed 10% above all of last year despite the lowest interest rates on record. Mixed financial news here and across the pond has lowered confidence and kept many away from home ownership. Nevertheless, growing families need homes and conditions of 30+% lower prices and rock bottom interest are great incentives.
Call Michael anytime and without obligation with any financial questions regarding home purchase or refinance. He has affiliations with over 30 lending institutions. Refinance is, depending upon your loan, a risk-free move to make money. Michael will gladly crunch your numbers and tell you whether it’s right for you and what your savings would be.

THREE AVENUES OF INVESTMENT

THREE AVENUES OF INVESTMENT
Traditionally a balanced portfolio is comprised of stocks, bonds and real estate. Stocks slid again last week. Treasury yields are near all time lows. With interest at bargain basement rates, home refinance may save you a bundle. Even if you have refinanced in the past, it may be profitable to do it again. Please call Michael without obligation to see if it’s right for you. He will gladly crunch the numbers. It could be the most cost effective investment you can make today.

RECAP

idxcentral — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:50:02 +0000

Last week Warren Buffett’s big preferred stock purchase buoyed B of A and the US of A. Head Fed Banker Bernanke (at the Jackson Hole summit) said housing should gradually return to health and encouraged gov’t to support it. Equity markets moved up after seesaw swings. Gold stumbled. T bills’ puny returns could be erased by modest inflation.

Good investments are scarce. But Interest rates remain dependably low making borrowing cheap. One way to make money risk free in this economy is to refinance your home with a low rate/long term mortgage. Call Michael any time without obligation. He will gladly crunch your loan numbers and tell you how much those savings would be.

SWORDS ARE RATTLING!

The nation’s debt ceiling was raised, but major rating agencies (i.e. Moody’s and S & P) are threatening to lower the AAA rating for US Treasuries if the govt fails to manage debt. That would mean higher interest for everyone. Factor in the Fed rate at 0%. Rates can only go up. But today, Los Angeles real estate can be purchased at a discounted price and record low interest.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

idxcentral — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 14:27:16 +0000

235 years ago, the Declaration of Independence separating the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain was signed and our great nation was born.

Here are a few historical facts and ironies. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both signers of the Declaration, became the second and third President of the United States respectively. Ironically they both died on July 4, 1826, on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the document. Fifth President James Monroe also died on July 4, five years later in 1831 and thirtieth President Calvin Coolidge was born on July 4, 1872.

We proudly fly the flag.
