Danny Vesokie of Affiliated Financial Partners, Inc. has the lowest cost for his commercial loan officer training school. I met Danny Vesokie and he has a great reputation. I think his price of $5,000 for commercial loan officer training school with a few days of boot camp and lifetime support and training, students get a lot of bang for the buck. Plus he’s hands on and guarantees you a job and guide you to study and pass the NMLS MLO exam and get licensed and sponsored by a mortgage lender and gets you hired with a commerical mortgage lender. I am thinking about taking his course. I have been talking to many graduates of Affiliated Financial Partners as well as Danny Vesokie himself.

Great post, Chad. Wildfires has always been a concern in California. Recently, many homeowners saw their homeowners premiums skyrocket and some homeowners with older homes are getting canceled by their homeowners insurance providers unless they modernize their homes. Who has the kind of cash to renovate their homes during tough economic times like now. Inflation, high rates, and wages not keeping up with the Biden-Harris Adminstration screwed up economy, most people are living paycheck to paycheck. Even homeowners in million plus dollar homes are hurting. There is no way I can get by without my spouse working and me working my government job and trying to do the side hustle here and there. In California, it is worth noting that wildfires impact home buyers significantly, especially in Orange County, where there have been increased cases of fires, such as the one in Irvine recently that destroyed a lot of property. Below are measures that homebuyers and other stakeholders may use to reduce these risks and also make wise property buying decisions that are in areas at high risk of wildfires:
Investigate Fire Risk in the Surrounding Locations.
Employ tools, including the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps prepared by CalFire or FEMA’s wildfire risk maps, so it is easy to tell if the property is near any potential high-fire zone. These ratings are determined through vegetation types, weather conditions, and the presence or lack of certain land features showing the level of fire hazard geospatially.
To comprehend the destruction wrought by wildfires in the area, look at how frequently they have occurred.
Compare Homeowner’s Insurance Coverages.
Wildfire-prone areas, for example, many locations in California, often have high home content insurance prices, or these may be hard to attain. Hence the need to compare rates.
Look for the specific wildfire provisions in the policy and ascertain the presence of replacement cost coverage, which protects the homeowner and insists that a house is rebuilt to its original value.
Consider applying for a California FAIR Plan, which is doing its best to ensure people living in the high-risk zones can access the insurance services in one way or another.
Consider Fire-Resistant Home Features
Look for homes with fire-resistant structures, such as non-combustible roofing, siding materials, and fireproof windows. Metal, concrete, and tiles used for roofing can withstand fire better than wood or asphalt shingles.
Assess whether the house has fire-wise landscaping. Such homes usually have a defensible space where structures are set back at least 100 feet from vegetation, making them more likely to survive wildfires. Trees need to be pruned, and grasses and shrubs should be kept low to minimize the chances of fire occurrence.
Ask About Wildfire Mitigation Efforts
Inquire if each home is part of a Firewise Community. Such communities have applied wildfire mitigation strategies and earned praise for fire risk reduction.
Also, check if any fuel reduction programs in the area, such as cutting down brush and dead trees, could catalyze the spreading of fires.
Assess Emergency Services and Evacuation Routes
Find out the local fire department response times and capability. Fast and effective emergency response can be critical in guarding property against destruction.
Make sure that the house is built so that it can be quickly exited through different means in the event of a disaster. Familiarize yourself with the area’s emergency evacuation plan and where to head in case of a wildfire within the community.
Apply Deterrent Space Around the House
Whenever the foremost business allure for you is homeownership, especially in areas designated as fire-risk zones such as Irvine, it’s possible to get a defensive perimeter as follows:
- Remove debris and dead plants within thirty feet of the shelter.
- Trim or completely remove any ignitable ground cover outside the home and keep flammable materials away.
- Use gravel paths or other non-combustible ground covers to make fire breaks.
Wildfire Preparedness
- Get to know the available local programs for preparing against the dangers posed by wildfires.
- Most cities and counties provide such resources, evacuation routes, plans, and anti-fire plans and activities.
- Keep a supply kit ready, so all house occupants know how to evacuate.
Review Permits Associated with Construction or Renovation
In California, fire regulations must be followed when building houses in high-risk wildfire areas. If you are constructing or improving, ensure that the property is by Chapter 7A of the Californian Building Code.
When purchasing, ensure that the chosen house has fire-rated doors, windows, and vents to prevent fire from spreading.
Use Applications or Websites That Offer Real-Time Alerts for Fires
Take advantage of applications or websites that provide real-time information concerning fires and fire management. With resources like the CalFire website, Ready for Wildfire App, and AlertWildfire, date information on active wildfires and evacuations can be obtained.
Investigate Preventive Wildfire Prevention Major Systems
Some homes located in areas prone to wildfire have smaller sprinkler systems that can be activated to spray the outer walls during a fire. While expensive, these additional systems can provide an additional level of protection.
Similar to how fire-retardant gels or foams can be applied to structures before an advancing fire, these materials can protect them.
Wildfires are not a risk you need to take lightly when looking for a house, be it in Irvine or any other part of Orange County: A home buyer can do a lot to reduce the extent of future fire damage by doing comprehensively every detail, from knowing the region and risk of fires, having appropriate insurance, utilizing fire-resistant building materials, and even landscaping. With some planning and ongoing surveillance, one can feel safe even in fire-challenging regions like California.
