More reason to invest in single family homes, as these are NOT bound to the new California Rent Control bill...Meaning that as a landlord of a single family home, you are just a little bit more protected to make sure you are not paying part of your tenants' rent...I know this sounds strange - but some of my clients do, as they can, by law, not adjust/increase the rent sufficiently to cover their rental properties' cost...

Get ready for a major earthquake. What to do before — and during — a big one

Earthquake ready? Do you own a home in California? If you have not done so yet, hire a foundation specialist to see if anything needs to be done, such as bolting your home to the foundation so it doesn’t slide off in an earthquake. Keep in mind that a $4,000 retrofit job now could prevent a $400,000 repair job after the earthquake. One way or the other, you need to pay - the question is when, and how much.

Contact me if you need a trusted retrofit vendor who can inspect your home for a low fee, and give you a cost assessment.

Read on what else you can do before, and during, a big earthquake. It will happen in LA, so don't put your head in the sand and get ready!

Guggenheim Museum Releases Over 200 Modern Art Books Online for Free

“Art is a form of nourishment (of consciousness, the spirit),” 31-year-old Susan Sontag wrote in her diary in 1964. “Art holds out the promise of inner wholeness,” wrote Alain de Botton half a century later in the excellent "Art as Therapy". But perhaps the greatest meditation on how art serves the soul came more than a century earlier, in 1910, when legendary Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky published "On the the Spiritual in Art" — an exploration of the deepest and most authentic motives for making art. It's one of the 200 free downloads from the Guggenheim archive of excellent Art books -- check it out!
