Uncle Sam has thrown the housing market a lifeline.<br />
<br />
President Obama on Friday signed into law a bill that will reinstate higher limits for Federal Housing Administration-backed mortgages in high-cost areas. In expensive housing areas such as Los Angeles and Orange counties, the limit for these FHA-backed loans had dropped to $625,500 from $729,750 on Oct. 1. The change became effective Friday.<br />
<br />
Similar ceilings applying to loans that can be backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not increase. The California Assn. of Realtors and its larger national partner association had lobbied for all of the loan limits to be reinstated.<br />
<br />
The group is “pleased the Senate and House were able to come to a reasonable compromise,” LeFrancis Arnold, president of the group, said in a statement Friday. “However, we are disappointed that the Senate and House could not agree on increasing the loan limits for Fannie Mae- and Freddie Mac-insured loans.” <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2011/11/fha-loan-sizes-are-back-up-for-higher-cost-markets-like-california.html"> Click Here to Read the Full Article...</a></div></div></div>Jim Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10527494017152600954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190400826314314380.post-57898601266570531472011-07-18T15:45:00.000-07:002011-07-18T15:45:48.760-07:00QR Codes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A <b>QR code</b> (abbreviated from <b>Quick Response code</b>) is a specific matrix barcode that is readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera telephones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><br />
I can store a lot of information in my qr code box and it just takes you to scan the code box to get all the information.<br />
<br />
I find this quite convenient and time effective. Try scanning my QR code to see what information comes up.<br />
Thanks!<br />

But I have insider information that the house is under negotiations for less than list price and will be off the market soon!<br />
<br />
This is a great deal because of its location, being on the rim of the Riviera Golf Course and for the sales price of under $614 p/sf. <br />
<br />
If a house like this interests you, don't hesitate to ask me as I specialize in taking unfinished potential problem homes and make them a complete reality dream home! </span><br />
