Goats on the Payroll in San Diego Renting goats for clearing brush has been a pretty popular thing to do for years. I first heard about renting goats to clear land from a buyer client way back in 2010. She was looking at rural properties with lots of brush, and we were discussing how to deal with it, goats being one solution. Turns out renting goats for clearing land is pretty popular. A quick Google search will yield all kinds of resources these days, like Rent a Goat that covers the state of California. We "met" this goat at the Surfing Goat Dairy in Kula, Maui Turns out our utility company, San Diego Gas and Electric (SDGE), a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, now has about 220 goats "on their payroll," so to speak, and is using them to clear flammable brush from areas around electric inf...

Most of you know that since the Pandemic Diane has been working from home as well. So what does that mean to me? Well there is competition who can walk Holly. There are times she is busy and other times I am busy. Well lucky for me she was busy so I walked Holly for her late afternoon stroll. As we stoped at this tree I did a double take and was wondering what kind of tree this was I never seen such a 'fruit tree' before.  So with that said can you tell me what species of tree this is? Maybe Ron and Alexandra Seigel would know they are good at naming exotic flower and fruits. Feel free to share what you  think in your comments:))))    Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  Retail Sales had a very Big Miss today, as it was reported that April was Unchanged for MoM; and when you exclude (big ticket items) Autos, then it dropped 0.8%.  Capacity Utilization rose to 74.9% in April; and Industrial Production also rose by 0.7%.  However, Consumer Sentiment had a very Big Miss too, as it dropped from 88.3 in April to 82.8 in May.  It was expected to rise near 90.  Lastly, the Business Inventories rose 0.3% in March.  Stocks are Up today, even though there were some big misses with Retail and Consumer Sentiment numbers.  They're a bit optimistic with the news by CDC when they stated that those whom have been fully vaccinated should be ok without a mask; hoping this will further boost the economy.  MBS is Up 6bps so far this morn...

FORBES Magazine &  CREST “BACKYARD” Homes  On ADA Accessible ADU’S We recently had the opportunity to speak with Forbes Magazine about ADA compliant Accessory Dwelling Units. At 75 years old and getting younger by the day this is naturally a very interesting and important topic that won't be going away anytime soon. There have been 10,000 Baby Boomers turning 65 for the past 10 years and another 10,000 a day for the next 10. Stepping on the heels of the Baby Boom Generation is the coming Mellineal Boom with another 80 or so million. This is a staggering 150 million people that will be reaching their golden years for decades to come.  Trends and social norms have changed since the '60's and the World War II "Greatest Generation" whose ultimate ambition was to cash out of their paid off m...

Seven years ago, when we moved into our home, Diane decided she wanted the wall separating us from the neighbors to be a 'Wall of Jasmine'. I was not going to argue with her. since as far as I was concerned the scent of jasmine is incredibly sensual, rich and sweet. More poetically, jasmine could be described as intoxicating, exotic and intense. Now keep in mind I have a bad nose, but even I can smell Jasmine. Interestingly I loved the idea since our bedroom has windows facing this wall of Jasmine. Ironically our trash barrels are on the same side. So with that said the 'Wall of Jasmine' was a brilliant idea that Diane come up with.In seven year we have not smelled anything but the fragrance of the 'Jasmine Wall'.So with that said if you buy a home keep such simple ideas in your favor, ...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  The CPI report made a HUGE mark on the Markets today with it's April report, which shows it's MoM skyrocketing Up 0.8%, while it's YoY lunged upward from 2.6% to 4.2%.  Whe you exclude food and energy, then you have the Core CPI (this report holds more weight due to it being more of the base), which rose 0.9% MoM and it's YoY jumped up from 1.6% to 3.0%.  A healthy economy moves at approximately 2.0% inflation.  The Fed says it's transitory, but many investors are on edge that it may stick.  Time will tell!  Right now, it's a very real concern!  As a result, Stocks are plunging!  A few more Fed Members will be speaking today.  MBS had plummeted too, which it's Down 33bps now; so, Mortgage Rates have spiked a bit higher today, as a result.  Yields shot...

     April was much like March in the Elk Grove market so I am tempted to just say, "ditto," but I will do my best to add something new and intriguing.  Home prices are up 20% year over year.  Homes are going pending very quickly and there is not much supply.  The only difference from March is that prices are up in Elk Grove just over $10,000.  What does it take for buyers to get into contract?  Offers above listing price, cash or conventional loan offers, great terms and possibly a free month or two rent back period for the seller.      Is it possible to get an offer with an FHA or VA loan accepted?  It is a challenge, but my eXp Realty colleague, Marquita Ward-White, recently had two offers with VA loans accepted.  Her secret, all of the items above and great communications with the l...

 For many investing in real estate, the qualification requirements of traditional banks can be cumbersome.  Income documentation for self employed real estate investors can be a challenge.  Credit requirements can be difficult to overcome.  The speed of the transaction can be a hindrance.  The current condition of the property can be an issue.Getting a loan from a bank can be a trying experience; even qualified borrowers struggle to secure loans for financing their investment property.  When traditional loans will not get the job done and you need to close quickly and with certainty, hard money loans can be the most practical solution. What are the Benefits of Using Hard Money Loans?Usually, the interest rates are higher on hard money loans when compared to more traditional loans.  Whil...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  There are no data to report from the Economic Calendar.  We do have a 3 year Treasury Auction, but it doesn't have much impact on the Markets.  Tomorrow could have some catalysts to push the Markets one way or another.  We have the 10 year Treasury, which can have some impact with Mortgage Rates; but the BIGGIE is the CPI report.  Stocks are Down this morning on renewed concerns over inflation, which the CPI will report it's inflationary data for April.  It's expected to rise from 1.6% YoY to 2.3% tomorrow.  If we can stay below 2%, then the Markets may calm a bit.  If it hits above 2%, then they may snowball with their selling.  There are several Fed Members speaking today, so it's possible they may share their thoughts on this topic today too.  Mean...
