Beach Destroyed at San Onofre State Beach
Ok, maybe not like an Armageddon four horseman of the apocalypse level destruction, but pretty bad none the less...
For about a week now, the far South end of the parking lot has been shut down, much to the chagrin of several surfers (myself included). So I took a little walk down the beach to check out the damages for you all, and to get the inside scoop from the workforce tasked with making San-O whole again.
Upon first inspection the first thought I had was "Holy cats, where did the beach go??" Where there used to be a nice sandy beach, now there is a three foot drop off. Rocks from the hillside have washed down and are blocking half of the road. The turn around is totally unstable. At least one of the telephone tire stops went MIA. And no one has a clue as to the whereabouts of Mr picnic table.... may he rest in peace.
So, I talked to the guys in the hardhats, and they assured me that it looks worse than it is. They are going to work to restore the turn around first. They will be bringing in materials to fill in the voids and are pretty confidant that the fix they have planned will take. They said the beach will come back, but it might take longer then we are used to. (plus they wanted me to remember that the whole rest of the parking lot is open, and there are plenty of waves). Oh, and good news they found the telephone pole, it had gotten all the way to trail one before it was apprehended by California's finest lifeguards.
This might be a good opportunity to bring the kids down to the beach and see a little of natures (or more to the point waters) destructive force. Bring the boards, a lunch... heck even throw Grandma into the car... sometimes it's just cool to see broken stuff with the ones you love.

I have run out of things to write about, but if I don't write something, then this space will just be a big white box of nothing, that will ruin the flow and good looks of this post... so I am writting all this nothing to fill this space... I think this might be enough text now to fill the space... Bye! :)

Pictures of Faire Harbour in Marblehead San Clemente
I was driving through the Faire Harbour community this morning and thought I’d snap a couple picture to share. Faire Harbour is a condo community in the Marblehead area of San Clemente. It’s built in such a way, that some, if not most of the units have some kind of ocean views.
The New Mayor of Capistrano Beach • Eric Tremaine
If you’re into twitter you may have seen the app foursquare. For some weird reason it’s addicting, like most of this social networking can be. Anyways, today I became mayor of Capistrano Beach, at lease as foursquare is considered. I’d like to take this moment to thank all those who worked day and night endlessly on my campaign, you know who you are.
I’m also mayor of Keller Williams OC Coastal Realty (the King of the Coast version), the San Clemente Pier, and San Clemente Vista. I have know idea how long my term will be but I will enjoy all the make believe benefits as they roll in.

apple iPad is here and who wouldn't want one for free
The folks at apple have done it again, introducing the iPad. There is so much to say about this and the buzz is out there. I remember the build up when the iPhone came out and yes, I was one of the many waiting in line. Now they launch this product and it seems to be just as revolutionary as the iPhone was. I can go on and on about how crazy excited I am about this and try to explain all the iPad features but Apple does a way better job at that. I suggest watch the video on the iPad design page. They have already established a iPad pricing also.
Join the many that have signed up to get notified when they release these iPads into the wild. Can't wait to sit Open Houses with this gadget.
Oh to answer the post question of "who wouldn't want one for free"... Mr. Jobs I would love one! Do you know how many people I sold your iPhone to... and still am.

Foreign Money - Buying Real Estate in the US- Kevin Budde
If you haven’t heard financing a home now days is not what is was two years ago. It’s ever changing and keeping lenders and consumers alike on their toes. Below is a piece from Kevin Budde on the financing challenges and opportunities a home buyer that resides outside the United States can encounter.
“Currently, with the dollar being so low against foreign currencies, foreign investors are purchasing properties in the United States. It’s not a problem if they choose to pay cash but if they need financing there are restrictions that apply.
An individual who is a non-U.S. citizen who is not authorized to work in the U.S. or live here for any extended period of time is considered a Foreign National. Financing is not available through FNMA, FHA and most major banks.
However, a non-U.S. citizen who is permitted to reside in the U.S. on a temporary basis and has been granted authorization to work in the U.S. is considered a Non-Permanent Resident Alien (NPRA). Financing is available through FNMA, FHA and most major banks.
FNMA and FHA offer the same terms offered to U.S. citizens. A valid social security number is required. Any individual in the U.S. who is classified as an NPRA will also have a work visa. The most common visa is an H-1B which classifies them as a temporary worker in a specialty occupation. Typically a U.S. corporation sponsors the foreign individual in obtaining the visa so they can work for the company here.
The two biggest issues when obtaining financing under NPRA status is credit and sourcing of the funds for the down payment and closing costs. An international credit report can be used to determine credit ratings if not enough trade lines have been established in the U.S. It is preferred to have the funds in a U.S. bank and in the same account (seasoned) for 60 days or more.”
If you’re looking for financing advice I would recommend talking with your lender, and if you don’t have one I recommend Kevin Budde.
