Don’t know what a wrap around loan is?Β Here’s your answer!Β A wrap around loan allows you to purchase property without having to qualify for a loan. The seller, known as the lender in this case, will sell you the property for an agreed upon amount. You will pay the seller that amount as a fixed monthly payment which includes interest charged by the seller.Β The amount that is to be paid to the seller includes what is owed on the loan and the equity on that property. The seller makes extra money by charging a higher interest rate than what they currently are paying. Upon receiving the payment the lender will turn around and pay on the loan.
In order to properly use a Wrap Around Loan, there must be no due on sale clause on the property. It means that the loan is due upon sale to the lender of the initial loan. The seller would have to pay the loan off in full. It is important to be careful because if you are attempting to get this sort of property you could be forced out of the property if there is this clause because the lender would have to sell it”

A New Year means new opportunities. And one place youβll discover opportunities galore is in the Real Estate market. It’s true. I did some poking around and came up a whole slew of great reasons to buy an Orange County home in 2011. Β Hereβs 11 for 11 —
- Low Interest Rates β Right now theyβre at historic lows. But donβt expect them to linger in the basement forever. The time to act is NOW.Β Be sure to consult a certified mortgage planner for details.
- Real Estate is a Great Long-Term Investment β Stocks may rise and fall, but you can pretty much count on the home you buy to appreciate in the long term. Thereβs plenty of historic precedent for this phenomenon. So get in while the gettin’s good.Β Β Β
- Motivated Sellers β Theyβre out there in droves. And they want out of their houses quick-like. And you thought after-holiday sales were the only bargains.
- Avoid High Rents After Retirement β Better to own a home than owe a landlord.
- OC Boasts Three of the Safest Cities in the U.S. And if that isnβt enough, you can add the countyβs award-winning schools, beautiful open spaces, great shopping and entertainment, and a well-earned reputation as a hub of high technology.
- You now can buy a Newport Beach mansion for under 40 Million dollars. At minimum, you can nab a $17 million reduction from the original asking price! Got a few extra million greenbacks to plunk down on a home?
- Your neighbor could be one of the βReal Housewives of Orange Countyβ. By merely borrowing a cup of sugar, you could wind up with a guest spot on the show. Sugar-borrower today, reality TV star tomorrow! Β
- Orange County is unlike any place else in our solar system.Β What makes us so gosh darn special? Letβs start with a diversity of industries that keep the countyβs economy and per capita income growing stronger every day.Β Orange County also boasts a bounty of blue ribbon schools, fantastic year-round climate, and a delightfully friendly environment. The cheery OC picture is rounded out by scenic mountains, nature-carved canyons, and 40 miles of spectacular ocean frontage.
- Great shopping for every mood, taste, and budget. Β Fashion Island, The District, and Irvine Spectrum are among the countyβs numerous first-class shopping destinations.Β Where else in the country can you take your family AND poodle to dine and shop in the middle of winter?
- Great Benefits for Newlyweds – Tell family and friends youβre saving for your first home!Β Various loan options allow you to put only a very small amount down on your dream home. Even better, the source of the funding can be βgift moneyβ. Wouldnβt you rather use this dough for a down payment than for the acquisition of imported tea cups that will just linger unused in a crowded cupboard. Plus you wonβt be throwing cash away into that abyss known as apartment rent.

It just doesnβt balance out. Only one person will sneak into your beautiful Orange County home this holiday season and leave nice things for you. But there are hundreds whoβll be more than happy to slip into your comfy crib and permanently remove things β often very valuable things. Known as burglars, these predators luv this time of year β empty houses, lots of expensive gifts inside. Remember βHome Aloneβ?Β
Fortunately, a little knowledge goes a long way in minimizing the chances of burglary. The key to protection is being aware of burglar behavior patterns.
A burglar always:
- Looks for newspapers piled up on the driveway. Talk about giveaways. An especially enterprising crook might even leave a flyer on your front door to see how much time elapses before the literature is removed.
- Knocks first. And not out of politeness. If someone answers, a burglar will have a ready-made excuse β βCan you please tell me how to get to Albuquerque?β
- Checks dresser drawers, bedside tables, and even medicine cabinets.
- Avoids kids’ rooms (usually).
- Leaves a locked safe locked but will gladly carry it away if not bolted down.
- Is more deterred by a loud TV or radio than even the most sophisticated alarms.
- Goes all out to never resemble a crook.
- Hates loud dogs and nosy neighbors.
- Loves people who forget to set alarms, shut windows, and lock doors.
Donβt give a burglar the gift of an easy break-in. Be guided by the above behavior patterns, and stay several steps ahead of the crooks.

Sometimes the best move is no move. And if youβre one of the many people staying put in your present Orange County home, you have plenty of incentive to keep neighborhood property prices as strong as possible.Β Remember, however, optimizing home values isnβt a one person show. You and all your neighbors are in this together. So itβs best to adopt the spirit of a village. That means everyone pitches in and cooperates toward a common goal of price preservation.
Here are five proven steps that every homeowner can take to maintain those all-important property values:
- Appearance counts for a lot. Even the most spectacular house can get a big thumbs down if the neighborhood disappoints. This means all serious homeowners should secure a reliable gardener or a good set of tools, and keep those yards lookinβ like a million bucks.
- Alright, alrightβ¦Your beloved old clunker gets you everywhere you want to go. Unfortunately, it wonβt win any beauty contests. So itβs best to keep your retro-ride off the street and in a garage.Β Also, even if your car rivals the Sistine Chapel for beauty, avoid parking it in front of any home sporting a βfor saleβ sign.Β Homes typically sell a lot quicker when they can be found by Realtors and/or prospective buyers.
- Tell everyone you possibly can whenever a neighborhood home hits the marketplace. The sooner it sells, the less chance the owner will kick down the sale price and eat away a chunk of equity.
- Help Realtors help you.Β Removing or taking down an open house sign might be good for endless laughs, but delaying the sale of a neighborβs home wonβt do a heck of a lot of good for YOUR own property value.
- Always paint the brightest picture of your neighborhood, street, or community throughout the social networks.Β A barrage of badmouthing will get your community known for all the wrong reasons and will send potential buyers fleeing to a more attractive locale. Restrict all nasty remarks to an offline complaints department, and keep the compliments freely flowing ONLINE.
If youβd like to learn more about maintaining home prices in your neighborhood, Iβm ready to help. You can connect with me at 949.338.7408,Β angie@askangie.com, Β @AngieWeeks or @WeeksTeam.

Election 2010 definitely will bring some changes to sunny California. Just how far the voting will transform the golden state remains to be seen. But while state matters are destined to get most of the limelight, local communities could be in for a number of changes depending on how the βsmallerβ elections go.Β
The upshot?Β Small elections count, often for a great deal. Letβs take voting for your local Β County Supervisor . This official heads up the Board of Supervisors, and in that capacity, must cast his or her vote on any number of important issues. A Supervisorβs voting decisions can be major factors in shaping the future of a particular community. Β Among the issues influenced by these officials are noise, legislation, budgets, industrial pollution, property modifications, zoning, and even conflicts between neighbors. Β You get the idea. They cover a lot of important territory.
School Board elections can exert an equally extensive influence. Members of this committee are entrusted with the task of deciding the fate of schools within their district. Their decisions reverberate through everything from adapting educational standards and monitoring student achievement to policy making, development of district budgets, and changes in district boundaries. Β Yes, they stay busy.
Of course, there are a number of other small elections that boast high-impact potential. So a word to the wise — never consider any election too small or unimportant. Even the smallest can have a big influence on your community and you. As an active member of my own community, I canβt stress the importance of voting for all the small stuff. Itβs a great way to do your part for your community.
NOW GET UP AND GO VOTE!Β Not sure where?Β Confirm here.
And if youβd like to learn more about how you can help your own community thrive, Iβll be delighted to help. You can connect with me at 949.338.7408,Β angie@askangie.com,Β @AngieWeeks or @WeeksTeam.

I recently closed a sale on a fantastic Orange County relocation home, which in this case happened to be a flip. To my delight, the buyer was extremely pleased with both the house and the service provided by yours truly. Always plenty of decisions to be made when making a home purchase; even more so when jumping to an entirely new locale.
Great feeling knowing I could make it a smooth transition. Then I figured, hey, the buyer would want to do likewise for other people purchasing an Orange County relocation home. So I asked what they would advise folks in this situation. Hereβs what they had to say on several key topics β
- Online Searches β Great for info gathering, but donβt rely solely on photos. Many times they can present a picture thatβs much prettier than the reality. A lot can be masked by touch-ups, the right angle, etc. Itβs very important to visit the actual home before you fall in love.
- Working With a Relocation Company — Itβs your right as a home buyer to know whatβs going on. So keep after them to make sure theyβre following through with everything theyβre supposed to be doing.
- Buying a Flip — Confidence is the main factor here. Most flips feature recent improvements, so thereβs a major reason to feel good about them. Overall, you want to make sure youβre completely confident youβre getting the right house at the right price.
Good advice. All of it. If youβd like to learn more about purchasing an Orange County relocation home, Iβm ready to help. Feel free to call, text, email, or tweet me.Β I can be reached at 949.338.7408, angie@askangie.com,Β @AngieWeeks or @WeeksTeam. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

The present foreclosure stats tell a grim story. Hard-working folks are losing their homes in alarming numbers. Fortunately, people facing foreclosure in Orange County are not as defenseless as they think. That’s why I’ve started this informative new blog series — Fighting Foreclosure. It’s all about helping people discover the options and resources they have when facing the prospect of losing their home.
The series kicks off with some valuable information from Shaun Smith, a specialist in foreclosure delay in Orange County.Β According to Shaun, the first thing you should understand is that banks don’t actually carry out the foreclosure action. They appoint a trustee to do the dirty work, including getting your home sold at auction. Now here’s the really crazy part. Unlike other states, California has no judicial-monitoring system in place to oversee trustee actions. So guess what? In order to expedite the process and maximize both bank and personal benefits, trustees invariably commit violations. Sometimes a lot of them. And who loses? Of course — the beleaguered homeowner.
Shaun’s service,Β Mortgage Crisis Remedies, combats these abuses and basically buys the homeowner time so they can remedy their non-performing loan. That could mean everything from continuing with a loan modification, short sale, or walking away with the cleanest possible credit record.
How does Shaun’s service accomplish all of this?Β By conducting in-depth investigations to discover trustee violations, then offering the trustee the choice of either delaying the home sale or facing sanctions that would result in loss of license. And guess what?Β That’s right. In a supreme act of self-preservation, the trustee invariably postpones the sale — usually by 1-4 months. This gives the homeowner leverage to bring the bank back to the negotiating table.Β In a nutshell, Shaun ensures that all legal requirements are met before the house is sold. A judge sure isn’t going to do it.If you’d like to learn more about foreclosure delay in Orange County, Shaun or any team member on our TEN Dimensions team will be happy to help. Reach out to him at 949.241.0218 or shaun@mortgagecrisisremedies.com. And breath a lot easier.
