-A Day Program For Adults With Autism-

SUISUN VALLEY, CA • 501(C3) NONPROFIT CORP

"1 in 59 children are on the autistic spectrum"

CDC (Center of Disease Control) April 2018

"Each year, an estimated 50,000 teens with autism age out of their school-based programs" CDC (Center of Disease Control) April 2018 It is estimated that 1.3 million adults have aged out of their current programming with nowhere to go. Without day programming, many remain in the home without access to educational services that lighten the load of an already strained household. These families are our neighbors.

B Walker Ranch has a solution.

B Walker Ranch is dedicated to making a profound difference for those families whose lives have been touched by autism. A working Ranch program that can be duplicated in communities everywhere.

I RENT,

Why Should I Get Insurance?

The share of Bay Area households that rent their homes has grown significantly over the last decade — by about 5 percent and now over a million people in the Bay Area alone are renters. Many of these people are renting to save a down payment, they don’t know how easy it is to buy or simply do not want the responsibility of ownership. It is a common misconception that the landlord or owner’s policy will cover the tenant’s possessions but that is false. This is what makes it imperative that you obtain a renter insurance policy. A basic renter’s insurance policy is usually just a few hundred dollars a YEAR. Perhaps you are in bed sleeping soundly and a rusty pipe bursts, drenching everything in dirty water or you take your family to the movies complete with popcorn and soda, only to come back to find your home ransacked and empty. In the event of calamities such as these and more, the owner’s policy will only cover the owner’s property. If you are the September 24, 2020• Volume 14 - Issue 9

tenant you may have lost everything including the roof over your head in an instant and have been burdened with the cost to replace it all. The renter’s policy may be used to replace your belongings and often pay for temporary housing or loss of use. Coverage is also provided for personal liability protection and medical payments to others.

But wait, there’s more! Did you turn away from the stove for just a brief moment or was it one misplaced candle? What if the bathtub or sink overflowed, would you be responsible? Don’t forget about other tenants or nearby homes and their insurance companies that are going to look at your assets, and your future earnings to recover their loss.

Can someone sue for damage caused by your negligence if there’s nothing to take? Yes. We live in California, where anyone can and often will sue anyone for anything and everything. You might not have anything to take today, but

By Patrick McCarran, Broker

the person holding that judgment will sit on it, renew it as necessary, and then pounce when there’s finally something to collect. Is that the shadow you want to live under? California renter’s insurance liability coverage is designed to prevent that from happening.

This article is meant to get you thinking. I am not an insurance agent and this is not meant to be advice but rather a conversation starter. You won’t know until you get a quote so get peace of mind -and full protection. Call your insurance company today!

Time to Refi your Mortgage.

Maybe a Better Solution?

Refinance or buy? What may be the better choice for you and your family?

I ran into a client that I was thinking that the refinance would save a large amount of money as the property, originally financed as an FHA loan, was costing him a lot of money that could be saved. He bought this home as his first home and did not ever consider it a forever home. In had an interest rate of over 4%, there was a PMI (private mortgage insurance) on it which added to the monthly cost. Over the few years we has owned to home, his income grew to allow him to add a few hundred dollars to monthly payment lowering the balance a little more quickly (and slowly accelerating the balance due and reducing the amount of interest he was paying each month).

After speaking to one of my trusted lenders, we discovered that if he were to refinance his payment, his monthly payment would drop by over 50%. That is not a typo! Over 50%.

Unbelievable!

Since this home is not where he wishes to stay, he is now determining what he can qualify for as a new loan, using his equity as the down payment on the existing home. No refinancing with all its fees, no more PMI, finding the home is which he prefers to reside and keeping his payment where is today which he is comfortable with.

I do not know where you are in the current phase of your life.

However, based on my interaction with many of my clients and other, there are quite a few of you that are not particular with your current housing situation. Time causes change no matter what one may do. As time goes one’s situation change, sometimes good sometimes bad. I do not presume what changes have come to you, but we are presented with an opportunity to resolve things that make you unhappy.

Prices are up in our area as of the writing of this note. As a Seller, the demand for your home is incredible, interest rates are low (as I just said) and your current home is in demand.

I do not know how long this will continue but for the close in time I believe this will remain for the near term.

What is the best solution? We cannot make this decision for you. With the input you can get from us, your mortgage lender (if you need one we have several we can recommend), your tax professional, and of course your need and desires, we may be able to at the worst, save you money, and as the best, find you a better home. Give us a call at 925-308-7045.

Out help costs nothing but a few moments of your time.

1. Magazine readership has increased over the last 5 years in the United States.

2. 93% of all American adults read magazines regularly.

3. Magazines usually stay in homes and offices for weeks and months (with ads being looked at again and again) while internet ads can disappear into cyberspace in the blink of an eye.

4. Reading a magazine remains a uniquely intimate and immersive experience.

5. Not only is magazine readership up, but readers spend an average of 43 minutes per use.

6. Further, those 43 minutes of attention are typically undivided. Magazines and magazine ads garner the most attention: BIGresearch studies show that when consumers read magazines they are much like to engage with other media or to take part in non-media activities compared to the users of TV, radio or the Internet.

7. Magazines delivers more ad impressions that TV or Web in each half-hour period.

8. Magazine readership in the 18 to 34 segment is growing.

9. Magazines are the No. 1 medium of engagement - across all dimensions measured. Simmons' Multi-Media Engagement Study finds magazines continue to score significantly higher than TV or the Internet in ad receptivity and all of the other engagement dimensions, including "trustworthy" and "inspirational".

10. Magazines outperform other media in driving positive shifts in purchase consideration/intent.

11. Magazines rank No. 1 at influencing consumers to start a search online - higher than newer media options.

12. Magazines reach specific audiences. The only people who pick up this Real Estate magazine are people interested in real estate(buying, selling, etc.).
