Q. Why is the Inland Empire (California) growing so fast?
Between 2002 and 2015, the Inland Empire is forecast to grow at a rate of 38.9%, the highest growth rate in the state. There are many reasons behind the growth of the Inland Empire.
The Inland Empire’s numbers are so strong because of the area’s strategic advantages to businesses and individuals. Jobs are also coming to the area, as businesses are drawn by lower labor costs, less costly space, and excellent infrastructure and transportation.
The Baby Boom is causing a rapid growth in the population; therefore we need more land and housing in order to develop.

Q. What is a Buyer’s or a Seller’s market?
*As a buyer in a Buyer’s market you will find a wide assortment of houses from which to select. Buyers usually have more leverage in negotiating a purchase. As a seller in a buyer’s market it is extremely important to price your house appropriately in order to sell.

*In a seller’s market the demand is over the supply which can cause increase in house prices. At this level, while buyers are not in absolute control of the market, if sellers prepare the house well and price it right, they'll find multiple buyers at the door;

Q. When is it the perfect time to restructure my home loan?
The perfect time to restructure your home loan is when it is a benefit to you as a homeowner and investor. We never advise our clients to restructure their current home loan when it is not a benefit to them.

Q. What is the best mortgage program?
All loan programs are based on your personal situation. While many factors are taken into consideration, your financial capabilities, income status, and previous rental/mortgage history will provide you with the best program specifically tailored to you and your family. The best way to find the 'right' answer is to discuss your finances and your preferences with one of our mortgage experts with a free consultation.


Q. Why would I want ARM vs. a Fixed Rate? An ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) typically allows you receive a lower interest rate which equals to a lower payment than a fixed rate loan. If you are planning to move within a few years, you can save money with an ARM, however if your goal is to stay in your home for the foreseeable future a Fixed Rate Loan is the better solution.


Q. How long will it take to apply and close a loan?
As each transaction is different, the current home loan restructuring will take 2 ½ weeks and a 30 day escrow on a new purchase will take 30 days.
