While reading an article about the benefits of staging, I came across a sentence that said, in part: “…so buyers can see themselves living within the house.”“Within the house” hit a jarring note, so of course I had to find out if it was “just me” or if that truly was the wrong word to use. It wasn’t just me.As it turns out, there are times when either word will do, However, according to  https://grammar.yourdictionary.com , “…“within” and “in” do have a few subtle differences that make one choice better than another.” “Use “in” to show something definite, to substitute into and for inclusion.“ “Use “within” for an estimate or to show something inside boundaries.” What the heck does that mean? It means that the sentence that hit me wrong should have said “in the house.” Here are some exa... 03/31/2023

https://flic.kr/p/2me8Dy3 What's Closing - SBA Loans! Yes, SBA loans are taking longer than they used to, and yes, they are a lot of documentation, but they are a CRITICAL piece of liquidity in this market. I had a loan that could not go SBA because the type of business was exempt. It had strong borrowers, buying a strong business, with good credit, willing to put 25% down, BUT there was no real estate collateral. The borrowers did not have equity in homes that could be liened. There was no collateral in the business, it was a simple business-only transaction. EVEN though it was an existing business, and EVEN though it was strong, and EVEN though the borrower had a great experience, credit, and outside income, NO BANK wanted to touch it conventionally. None. Over 20 banks denied them. I... 03/31/2023

What’s Closing Now – Bridge Loans! Borrower owned a daycare in Las Vegas, NV. She was an excellent operator with 700 a credit score. She wanted to buy another daycare that she knew was being poorly run. She was able to get the daycare for essentially free, just paying for the property of $750,000. We could not move the SBA loan forward because she did not have two (2) years of tax returns. The borrower started her daycare in 2020 just before Covid hit. The business not only survived, but her 2021 and 2022 numbers were great. SHE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO FILE THE 2021 RETURNS AND CLOSE QUICKLY ENOUGH FOR THE SELLER. Hence, she needed bridge money. Enter…our fund. The deal came in at the beginning of month and had to close by the 25th for the borrower to file for a necessary grant by the dea... 03/31/2023

The last few years have changed the way people use their homes.  Change is good and is one of those things we have no control over.  By the time we talk about the change, it may have changed back.  More people working and schooling from home are looking for spaces with more privacy. But if time has taught us anything, home trends are cyclical. I am not sure if the privacy issue is the same or different from people wanting open floor plans that make a home live bigger.  Now I want to know how you feel about open floor plans: smash or pass?#thehelpfulagent #home #house #houseexpert #listreports #homedesign #homestyle #hometrends #realestate #realestateagent #realtor #smashorpass 03/31/2023

Source: Statista TikTok is one of the fastest-growing social media platforms and is at the same time viewed critically by the U.S. and numerous European countries due to its alleged connection to China. This past Thursday, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew fielded questions at a congressional hearing, with some lawmakers drawing ridicule from netizens for allegedly not understanding the workings of social media apps. The question of to what extent the popular app is directly connected to the CCP is currently unanswered. Critics of the regulatory efforts claim that the increased scrutiny of the application even though it allegedly doesn't collect more or fewer data than U.S.-based social media companies is a symptom of a new Cold War and latent sinophobia. Still, U.S. TikTok users seem to mind giv... 03/31/2023
