WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

“beauty spa” atmosphere where you can receive a variety of facials, peels and waxing services. That is perfect way to start your journey to enhance your “natural beauty.”

Total Care For Total Health Well, if you are into chasing rainbows, this year’s February is just for you. However, you may need a small boat to get around the farmlands. With all the trees asleep for winter and rain filled furrows, it clearly has been a “wet” and “cold” winter. What a great time to do a little research on a local business that can get you ready for sunny days ahead.

Most of us have either heard of Botox or have it scheduled on their yearly calendar.

I would like to introduce you to a place where you can learn about all of the amazing procedures and services offered in the world of aesthetics. At Delta Aesthetics, Dr Ness, MD and his staff provide patients with top-quality cosmetic services.

You can receive both surgical and non-surgical procedures. These include liposuction, Blepharoplasty and Botox, Juvederm, laser hair removal, tattoo removal and more. I especially like the

I love how the entire team believes the importance of “total care for total health,” all under the supervision of a qualified medical doctor and highly trained staff.

Extra ten points! Each individual is treated with the utmost care to deliver the best possible results for the service designed exclusively for them. There is a $50 consult fee that can be deducted from your scheduled service, so it is basically FREE. Other services offered are Microneedling, ThermiVa, and taking care of those unsightly and painful varicose veins. So now you are probably thinking, “I have always wanted to find out more about the procedures all my girlfriends are having done,” so, pick up the phone and talk to one of these specialists. All patients are treated like family and given the professional attention they deserve.

And, after your treatment, you receive extensive follow-up care to ensure the best possible results. Another ten points.

What does it cost? Best thing to do is schedule a consultation and they can

discuss all your options and give you a quote based on your specific needs and goals. Then subtract your $50 and get started, it is just that easy. Especially when there is that special day or event on your calendar that you have to look your very best. And, if you sign up, you can get the monthly newsletter with specials on procedures and products. I told you it was easy. Unfortunately cosmetic services are not covered typically under insurance unless deem necessary to correct due to a medical complication, however Delta Aesthetics offer Care Credit as a finance option for their patients if needed.

So, Dr. Ness and your amazing team, the Monthly Grapevine gives you twenty shining stars for delivering quality service with such a caring heart to bring out the beauty in all of us. This secret shopper invites all our readers to add a consult with Dr. Ness on your 2019 “To Do” list.

Who will be snooped next? It could be you.

Delta Aesthetics can be reached at 925-757-5311 or visit their website DeltaAesthetics.com.

PATRICK MCCARRAN

Many people are intimidated by the widely publicized 20-percent down-payment requirement. There are many federal programs and other methods designed to help homebuyers, and even those who have lost their homes to foreclosure.

How is the Market?

Should I still Buy? There has been a great deal of chatter about whether the sky falling and with it the housing market. What most alarmists do not discuss is that only a small percentage of loans in the USA are over $750,000 and over one third are owned outright. The factors that led to a crash in 2008 are not in paly today. The PRIMARY reason to own a home is UNCHANGED. The WHY you should own is relatively easy.

Rents are high and with the strong resistance to building they will continue to rise and be unpredictable, when you own you know what your payment will be and it your home not the landlord to dictate rules. Mortgage interest will most likely remain the largest deduction for the middle class. Mortgage interest rates remain historically low and there is a fair amount of inventory from which to choose.

So what’s holding you back? Down Payment?

chance to build equity (instead of throwing rent down the drain) and the opportunity to customize your own environment.

As a homeowner, you have the benefit of security and stability, as well as the freedom to decorate and remodel. You can redo your kitchen, build a deck, put in a swimming pool, or add a playroom for the kids and make your house a home.

For example, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and FHA have loans available to first-time buyers with as little as 3-3.5% percent down.

If you qualify there are a number of programs and grants that can help with the down payment. With a seller credit for closing costs I have gotten buyers into a home for as little as $500 out of pocket. For veterans, the VA program has no-down-payment loans available for qualifying military members and veterans that can close with almost no out of pocket money.

Instead of paying your landlords mortgage you can build equity for yourself and get the tax benefit as well. With each monthly mortgage payment, you’ll own more and more of your home and when you finish paying off the mortgage, every dollar your home is worth is yours.

That’s what has always motivated Americans to own their own home. And it isn’t going to change in the long run. Grab the American Dream now. Call a REALTOR and Loan officer you have nothing to loose and everything to gain!

Why wait? What’s the worst that could happen if you buy a home now? You’ve already seen it, the 2007 mortgage crisis. It will take generations before the government lets the banking systems get that far out of hand again. It is far more likely that home prices will steadily climb as they have been.

Americans are back to work and leading the global economy out of stagnation. The American population will continue to grow and build families of all types, creating more demand for housing. Look at the homeownership benefits that are mostly forgotten by today’s potential homebuyers -- the
