We don’t *have* to do FHA. Just hearing that they are the most forgiving re DTI. We can come up with a 20% DP if that would make a conventional work. Not sure what direction to go.

California to set aside $300 Million for illegal immigrants to buy homes. Many see this as another example of Democrats prioritizing illegal immigration over the needs of taxpaying citizens, further burdening Californians. With California’s housing costs among the highest in the nation, this program is seen as fiscally irresponsible, potentially leading to bankrupting the state. Gavin Newsom and the Democrats are totally out of control. Why would anyone want to live in California?

I have always wanted to own a German Shepherd dog. We have been renting for the past ten years and are about to close on a house. We have a small family, my wife, five year old son, and two year old daughter. I have heard so many great things about owning a German Shepherd dog and how easy they are to train and how great they are as protectors. How is it like owning a German Shepherd dog for a small family like ours. Much appreciated.

I often get asked about what it’s really like to live in Southern California. Sure, the traffic and cost of living come up a lot, and they’re worth considering. But there’s so much more to this area that makes it an incredible place to call home. Here are some of the reasons why I think Southern California is a great place to live:
1. The Weather Is a Major Perk
One thing I really appreciate about living here is the weather. It’s almost always sunny, and the temperatures are generally mild. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it’s at the beach, on a hike, or just out in your backyard, the weather here makes that easy.
2. A Diverse, Vibrant Culture
Another thing that stands out to me is the diversity. Southern California is a mix of different cultures, and you can see that in the neighborhoods, the food, and the overall vibe of the place. It’s not just about where you live, but also about the variety of experiences you can have every day.
3. Endless Outdoor Activities
If you’re into outdoor activities, this place has it all. You’ve got beaches, mountains, deserts—all within a short drive. Whether you’re into surfing, hiking, or just taking a walk in a park, there’s always something to do, and the weather means you can do it pretty much year-round.
4. Plenty of Job Opportunities
The job market is strong here, especially if you’re in tech, entertainment, healthcare, or education. There are a lot of opportunities for growth, and being close to major universities and research centers only adds to that. It’s a good place to be if you’re looking to advance your career.
5. Quality Education
Southern California also has a lot of great options when it comes to education. Whether you’re thinking about schools for your kids or looking into higher education yourself, there are plenty of quality public schools, private schools, and universities to choose from.
6. Convenient Location
One thing I’ve come to really appreciate is how close everything is. You can spend the morning at the beach, the afternoon in the mountains, and still be back home for dinner. And if you need to travel further, the major airports are easily accessible.
Conclusion
Living in Southern California has its challenges, no doubt. But when you look at the big picture—the weather, the culture, the outdoor activities, the job opportunities, and the education—it’s easy to see why so many people choose to make this their home. These are just a few of the reasons I think it’s a great place to live.

For example, what’s the difference between 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, ZR1, Z06, Z08, Calloway Corvettes, Hennessey Corvettes, and other options of Corvettes as well as the price difference. What’s the available factory upgrades available and prices. What is the MSRP for regular and convertible C8 Corvettes. How many C8 Corvettes are made or will be made. Are C8 Corvettes good investments or will it deprecate like other mass produced cars. I would like specific details about C8 CORVETTES because I am interested in buying one.
