In the face of market uncertainty, let’s take a moment to focus on the positives this month:
๐ผ Spring is in Full
Bloom!
The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and Dana Point is bursting
with life. We’ve officially shaken off the winter blues!
๐ฎ Cinco de Mayo
Celebrations
๐ Join us Saturday at the Dana Point
Yacht Club for a floating tequila cocktail contest—a spirited
kickoff to May!
๐ Mother’s Day –
Sunday, May 12th
A heartfelt reminder to honor the amazing mothers in our lives—our own,
or those we admire and love in our community.
⚓ Opening Day at DPYC
– Mid-May
Tradition, fun, and a little pomp and circumstance—Opening Day at the
Dana Point Yacht Club is always a standout event.
๐ถ Memorial Day
Weekend – May 25–27
In Dana Point, Memorial Sunday brings a rock concert on the water
with a fabulous local band—an unforgettable way to launch the summer!
๐ก Real Estate Market
Update
Interest rates continue their unpredictable climb—but we’re seeing slight
improvement as of this writing. Properties are staying on the market a bit
longer, yet sales remain brisk. Pent-up demand appears to be fueling
continued activity.
๐ผ Common Issues We
Help Solve
๐ Investor Activity on the Rise
We’re working with a growing number of both first-time investors
and those completing 1031 exchanges. A popular tool? DSCR Loans (Debt Service Coverage Ratio)
– which qualify borrowers based on property income instead of personal income. It’s
much easier to navigate!
๐ฐ HELOCs, HELOANS
& Reverse Seconds
Want to access your home equity without touching your low-rate first
mortgage?
✅ Over 55? Ask us about the Reverse 2nd TD – no monthly
payment required.
✅ We also offer traditional second loans with fixed monthly
payments.
๐ Down Payment
Assistance (DPA)
Think you need 20% down? Think again.
You might not even need 5%. If you qualify for the loan, we can match
you with a DPA program to help get you into your next home—faster
than you think!
๐ข Condo Buying: What
to Watch For
Condos add a layer of complexity due to HOA requirements. Beyond
insurance issues, you may encounter:
- Insufficient reserves
- Delinquent HOA dues
- Pending litigation
- Special assessments
We provide thorough pre-purchase due diligence so our clients can close with
confidence
