IHB News 8-14-2010

Posted: 14 Aug 2010 03:30 AM PDT

We are having another IHB party on Sunday, August 22, 2010, at JT Schmids at the District. 

 

Irvine Home Address ... 6 PALOS #66 Irvine, CA 92612
Resale Home Price ...... $530,000

The other day I got invited to a party,
but I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,
and his brothers Black and Red
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

George Thorogood And The Destroyers -- I Drink Alone

IHB News 

We are having another IHB party on Sunday August 22, 2010. The party on August 1 was attended mostly by investors, and we anticipate many will attend the event on Sunday, but I want to make clear that it is open to everyone. If perhaps you are looking to buy in Orange County, and you want to meet an IHB agent. or if you simply want to hang out, have a drink, and talk real estate, we encourage you to attend. 

For those of you who previously expressed an interest in the fund (this is not a solicitation), the fund will be closing to new investors on Friday, September 17. I know that seems like a long way off, but it often takes time to free up investment capital, and I don't want you to miss this opportunity. Also, the fund is only open to 35 "Sophisticated" investors, and these slots go in the order I receive the paperwork. If you are planning to invest under the sophisticated investor category, the fund may not have openings through September 17.

I now have over $1,000,000 in firm commitments to the fund, so it will definitely be going forward.

Unemployment? 

This delinquent owner may be having unemployment issues. The property was purchased on 4/27/2005 for $615,000. The owner used a $492,000 first mortgage and a $123,000 down payment. People generally won't walk away when they are just on the cusp of going underwater and they have such a large down payment. The NOD was filed in April.
