Helloooo & Good Morning  My Beautiful Wonderful San Francisco Bay Area!!… brrrrrrrrr chill in the air…this was the  perfect morning to stay under the covers and listen to the morning news… NOT… jumped up,  gargled some mouthwash, layered up in comfy sweats, my ipod in hand …off for a brisk “good for me” walk at my very most favorite place to go walking… the San Leandro Marina… If you’ve never been… you’ll love it!!.. the Marina

The best course for me is the oval concourse… walk all the way around it equals 1 mile… gentle upslopes and downslopes and straightaways with exercise apparatus strategically scattered along the way… with the awesome Bay water views all along the way… Its the best… Lots of folks love it as much as I do… its very addicting and so good for your spirit and health…

When I’m done… I’m totally refreshed and ready to face the day! If you dont walk… try it… you just might like it!…

Have a Great Day Everyone!!… Cheers!…

Where to find the real available houses on the market? There are so many listings on the website. We drove to certain house and there is so sign of selling. We are looking at 300k for a start home. Also the rumor says there will be more Foreclosures coming out at the end of the year. Shall we wait till then? Thanks.

Hello Jojo… You are so right… there are lots of listings on the internet… I dont know exactly where you’re looking but it sounds like you’re not getting the complete picture for the property/ies you’re considering… In this age of technology that we’re all engrossed in… its truly become a fabric of our lives… It is a huge source of information and yet no matter how much reserach one does on the internet… there’s something to be said about the knowledge and expertise that you cant replace using the internet and that is the help and guidance of a dedicated full-time licensed realtor.

Realtors are trained to help and guide their clients not only to find the property but to make the offer, to represent your best interests in the transaction, to assist with the inspections and reading of all the reports and disclosures and the maze of required paperwork involved. A realtor can help screen out all properties to come up with the best suited for your needs… they can explain to you what a short sale is, what a foreclosure is, what an NOD is, what an REO is, what a straight sale etc…

Jojo not one transaction or property is the same… You need to be clear what your focus is…
Do you want to buy any home at $300k or less?
Do you only want to buy a home that is “distressed” ie) a short sale or reo?
You need to understand all that goes with the kind of property you go after…

Waiting for more foreclosures will do what for you?… The interest rates are excellent right now… who knows what the rates will be later…

If you’re ready to buy now… you should definitely buy now… no reason to wait. if you wait longer you may not qualify to get the $8,000 tax credit… its due to expire very soon.

Jojo you would definitely be best served to retain the services of a good reliable licensed realtor… first source to go to if you dont have one already… is your friends, co-workers and relatives… if no one can give you any referrals… I’d be happy to help you find one in the area you want to buy… Feel free to contact me at 888.880.7708 x98 or 925.997.2426 or email me at isiwu@comcast.net anytime…

I hope this makes sense to you… please let me help if I can…
Good Happy Hunting Jojo…

Changing Title Under Spouse’s Nose

1 comment  | 

I’m sure we all want to think that once married we’ll live happily ever after… Life sometimes doesnt work out the way you intend… things happen… just wanted to pass along the following article for you to think about….

 

(Article By Real Estate Attorney & Syndicated Columnist Bob Bruss)

 DEAR BOB: My mother, now divorced, owned a house with her former husband. But before the divorce papers were finalized, without my mother’s knowledge he changed his title to the house from joint tenancy with right of survivorship to tenants in common. He passed away recently. Now his nephew is claiming the house under his will. My mother is still on the title and loan papers. Can a joint tenancy title be changed without permission of the other joint tenant, and is my mother entitled to all or half of the property? –Leslie LeB.

DEAR LESLIE: For simplicity, I presume the house is not in a state allowing a married couple to hold title as tenants by the entireties (a special form of joint tenancy that cannot be terminated by one spouse alone). If the divorce settlement papers didn’t specify what was to happen to the house title after the divorce, each still owned half of the house after the divorce.

Unfortunately for your mother, a joint tenant with right of survivorship does not need permission from another joint tenant to change the ownership method to “tenants in common.” Also, her ex-husband could have sold his half-interest in the property or given it away without her permission.

Presuming the ex-husband executed and recorded a valid quitclaim deed from himself as a joint tenant to himself as a tenant in common, that broke up the joint tenancy without notifying your mother. The result is the ex-husband’s half of the house became subject to his will, which apparently left his half of the house to the nephew.

Under the law of virtually every state, your mother still owns her half of the house, but as a tenant in common and not as a joint tenant with right of survivorship. The fact her name is on the mortgage papers is irrelevant to the title.

Perhaps she should offer to buy out the nephew’s inherited half. Or maybe she should ask him to buy her out. Better yet, perhaps they should try to get along as tenant-in-common co-owners. For more details, she should consult a local real estate attorney.

Life…
