Yo ya no quiero saber nada de casas! Es la reacción común que recibo del propietario latino al que le cambió la tasa de interés, que no pudo negociar con su banco por un motivo u otro y que se ve obligado a vender por menos de lo que debe. O peor aún, por falta de información, que permite que la hipotecaria le quite la propiedad."Voy a declarar bancarrota y mudarme a mi casa de Tijuana, el crédito ya no me importa."Como latinos, nuestra casa es mucho más que una inversión, es nuestro hogar, y como orgullosa cultura que somos, el hecho de "perderla" es un fracaso que no solemos manejar con sentido común, sino con coraje y como una derrota personal.Sin embargo, esta actitud no hace más que perjudicarnos a la larga.Sí, estamos en un momento difícil, pero de todas las cosas malas sale siemp...

San Diego Hiking in the South Bay San Diego has many hiking trails from the San Diego Beaches to the San Diego Mountains. I recently spent a weekend at the Thousand Trails Campground in Jamul about 10 minutes east of EastLake off of Otay Lakes Road. The campground is called Pio Pico and is surrounded by mountains and hiking that was incredible. Going in early spring was a good idea because it wasn't too hot or too cold and the seasonal rivers were still flowing although just a little. I went hiking the first day with a friend of mine that I was camping with. We hiked through a beautiful green valley with large Scrub Oaks and knee high dark green grass. We walked up the seasonal river bed between two mountain peaks. This made the hike easier because it was mostly rocks and boulders and a...

San Diego Fires Create Back Country Flower ExtravaganzaThe San Diego Fires of 2007 devastated the San Diego back country. Anything in its path was either destroyed, charred are went up in smoke. I recently stayed at Pio Pico in East County San Diego very close to South Bay San Diego. This area was hit by the Harris Fire in 2007, which burned over 90,000 acres. It started on Harris Ranch, east of Jamul, on October 21, 2007 and was fully contained on October 31st. The Harris Fire killed 10 people, wounded 61 people, destroyed 253 homes, and caused $21,000,000 worth of damage.

Fresh Paint Can Bring More Cash When SellingAfter looking at many homes over many years while showing real estate to home buyers in San Diego California I have notice "Fresh Paint" can bring more cash when selling. Let's face it painting is easy. Home Depot and Lowes as well as any hardware store or paint store has many different colors and brand names of paint and has lots of employees that generally give pretty good advice on painting a home interior and exterior. If painting seems a little too hard for you hiring a professional is very affordable and can really help make your home stand out from others on the market.Let's talk about color. My experience with home buyers that are walking through a home is that when I watch their faces and listen to their comments they seem impressed b...
