Peter Schiff, the economist who predicted the 2008 housing market crash now predicts an 80% to 90% housing crash. Don’t underestimate Peter Schiff. Schiff has been spot on his housing and economic forecast for years. Government should not intervene on the open market. The FED printing money has a disastrous impact on the overall economy. Government control and guarantee railroads the housing and banking system where it disrupts the overall economic development system and the end result is a financial crisis. Homeowners who purchased homes are barely surviving and many cannot afford their housing expenses. Homes are getting reasseessed where property taxes are increasing 50% and more. Homeowners insurance is doubling in many areas. Many people cannot afford the maintenance in their homes where the end result will be a tear down. Bankruptcy and foreclosure numbers are skyrocketing at historic highs. Watch Peter Schiff’s commentary on the state of our economy.

Kamala Harris is paying for supporters. A true scum at its highest level. CMV: Saying Kamala Harris was a “DEI hire” or that she feels “entitled” to the Presidency or that she thinks it’s “her turn” are the same kind of arguments that were used against Hillary Clinton, and they are BS.

We all know that tens of thousands of people are moving out to California. What are the biggest reasons people are moving out of California?

I have learned recently that Venice, Italy, is charging 5 euros to gain entry to the city. The city has experienced a high volume of profit. There are peak times that they charge; there are 29 dates from April to mid-July, mostly holidays and weekends, between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m..
Realizing that nothing in Venice costs under 5 euros, including coffee, it’s not too expensive in the big picture. The profit so far is 2.43 million euros, or about 2.75 million US dollars. That’s a lot of espressos.
Some people asked, “Why should I pay an entrance fee to a city?” It wouldn’t fly in New York City; imagine putting a turnstile at all the various ways to enter the city. They actually do have tolls, which is sort of the same thing. The E-Z pass for bridges and tunnels entering the city is $11.00-$14.00, depending on peak hours. Chicago and San Francisco all have these tolls; travel is a curse. They charge to enter Disneyland and Epcot. The only advantage is that in Disneyland and Venice, you don’t drive. Trams in Disneyland, gondolas, and water taxis in Venice.
There is always a side hustle to these fees, and there is no way to escape them. If you drive or walk, you are charged. Parking at sporting events is so expensive that gas is taxed and relaxed.
Wouldn’t it be Utopia if there was a society that existed with no cars, no gas, no taxes, and no entrance fees?
Can anyone make a suggestion? Maybe artistic intelligence can answer this riddle.

Do we love our pets too much?
Two-thirds of the people in the United States have pets. If they all voted, they would be the majority. This is a 138 billion-dollar business with nearly 40 million pets.
We treat our pets like members of the family; we have pet spas, pedicures, jewel-studded collars, and boutique hotels disguised as kennels. They are not family; they are animals, and I am one of those pet owners.
Years ago, animals stayed outside; barnyard dogs and stray cats were everywhere. Cats came and went whenever they wanted. Now we have scientific studies and biological proof of why we love our pets. Wounded Warriors has dogs available to vets because dogs understand. A dog will love you more than they love themselves, an unconditional love found nowhere else.
The problem with pets is that they never grow up; they remain children, and we treat them as such. Your pet animals get expensive, and we spend thousands of dollars to keep them alive and healthy. We wheel them outside to do their business and think nothing of it. When do we end their misery? Do we keep them alive because of selfishness?
When you decide to get a dog, or a cat, for that matter, it is a lifelong commitment. What happens when you decide that you made a mistake? Bringing the dog back causes psychological issues; the dog feels abandoned. Fido gave all of himself to you, and you abandoned him. The dog may have a problem with trust; all they want to do is love and please you.
I have had many dogs in my life; my current dog now is 12 years old, and I have sworn to him that I will be with him until his last breath. I know he is here for me until mine.

Primary owner-occupant homes, also known simply as owner-occupied homes or primary residences, refer to residential properties that are primarily occupied by the owner of the property as their primary place of residence. These are homes where the owner lives and resides, as opposed to properties that are primarily used for rental or investment purposes.
Key characteristics of primary owner-occupant homes include:
-
Residence of the Owner: The owner of the property lives in the home as their primary place of residence. It’s where they reside on a day-to-day basis.
-
Personal Use: The property is used for personal and family purposes rather than being rented out to generate rental income.
-
Potential Tax Benefits: In many countries, primary owner-occupant homes may qualify for certain tax benefits or exemptions, such as property tax reductions or capital gains tax exclusions when selling the property.
-
Mortgage Considerations: When financing the purchase of a primary residence with a mortgage, there may be different lending terms, interest rates, and down payment requirements compared to investment properties.
-
Homeowner’s Insurance: Homeowner’s insurance policies are typically used to protect primary owner-occupant homes and their contents.
-
Homestead Exemption: Some jurisdictions offer homestead exemptions, which can provide property tax relief or protection from creditors for primary residences.
It’s important to distinguish primary owner-occupant homes from investment properties, vacation homes, or rental properties. These other types of properties are typically acquired with the primary goal of generating rental income or capital appreciation, whereas primary owner-occupant homes are meant for the owner’s personal use and enjoyment.

People planning on moving to Utah, GCA is a no overlay lender and non-QM broker. Can help getting pre-approved prior to moving to Utah

There are mortgage lenders that have no overlays on VA loans. Lender overlays are higher lending requirements set by individual mortgage lenders above the minimum agency guidelines from the Veterans Administration on VA loans.

What’s going on in this country. We have serial police inpersonator Jeremy Dewitte and now we have a civilian wearing a full set of Army Uniform shopping on black Friday impersonating a Army Ranger with a purple heart 💜 and other combat patches. What is this guy doing. Chubby fellow who is definitely quite obese to be an active duty Army Ranger. What is he doing? What scam does he want to pull? Is he going to commit a crime? Does he want to pick up little girls or little boys? Does he want free food?

If you ever question Nancy Pelosi or the Democrat Elites, you get automatically blacklisted. Democrat politicians cannot think on their own and need party approval. Otherwise you get blacklisted from the Democrat party. This is what happened to Hawaii Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Democrat party is evil 😈 and demons. Here is proof Democrat party is evil. Tulsi Gabbard and many good Democrats are leaving the Democrat party in droves.

Global warming, I never really bought into global warming and not all scientists agree of its existence. We are newcomers to the earth, things have been spinning around for years, warming up and icing up, hence The Ice Age. Kinda of like Florida, the people who have made this state home know how to adapt to the environment. Newcomers to Florida feel the wrath of summer. Currently, its the beginning of June and May has shown four days over 90 degrees, all in the last two weeks. How does a newcomer survive the heat? Personally, I don’t care if they survive, you didn’t plan ahead. More people have moved to the Tampa area in the past year then ever before. Housing values have doubled, everything is expensive. Some say its the next Miami. However, there are no beaches in Tampa and very little shore space in the county of Hillsborough. You have to travel to two of the most congested cities in Florida to reach the beaches. Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach are absolute beautiful and crowded. Parking is a nightmare, if you can find a spot.
No I am not going to be hard-hearted on new arrivals, I wasn’t born here, I am a transplant. But I will give some hints on how to survive the hellish heat. First thing, get a pool or have access to one, that’s a no-brained. Secondly when parking your car always park under a tree. If you don’t when to enter your car be prepared to enter a pizza oven at 900 degrees! You will melt, especially if own a black car. Need more tips, air-conditioning you will need one and a good repairman. Odds are when the temperature hits 90 degrees, your air conditioner will tank, it will be on a Friday during a three day weekend. Two questions I always ask when buying a house, are the age of the roof and the air conditioner. Buy a generator for when the power goes out and the air conditioner isn’t working.
The snowbirds from Canada have figured it out they arrive in October and leave in May, why? Hurricane season is from June to November. If you haven’t experienced a hurricane in Florida you will when you move here. By the way it rains most days. We have roaches the size of mice and alligators roaming everywhere. The humidity is awful. Lizards jump up and greet you and the mosquitoes can’t wait until dusk to suck a pint or two of blood. All in all Florida is my home and I love living here, once I figured it out.

The Grapevine…
I have always liked reading weekly or daily columns by Earl Wilson, Herb Caen, Jimmy Breslin, etc. This will be the first of a weekly column, mostly about real estate-type businesses. Here are my two cents.
I heard that buying or selling a house right now is as difficult as putting a square peg in a round hole. All y’all know better than me. My wife and I have been working with a realtor in Tampa, Donna Davidson. Bless her Irish soul! She is great to work with. My wife and I found a house in Ocala, Florida, and called Donna with two other listings, all within ten minutes of each other. Donna was, at the time, visiting her sister on the opposite coast and said maybe if she called ahead to the listing realtor, that’s exactly what she did, and she spoke to Ortiz, who was handling one of the listings. Donna asked if he could possibly show the two others; his response was yes. ”We realtors have to stick together.” He was more than happy to do so and contacted my wife. They spoke briefly on the phone as I chimed in that I would give him $50 cash for his trouble. He agreed at 10 a.m. Friday morning, just before 10:30, the time we were leaving, to make the hour and a half drive to Ocala for a noon appointment. At ten minutes to twelve, he calls my wife—mind you, we are ten minutes away—and changes his mind. He now says he wants Donna’s 3% commission on the two other listings, and, get this, he wanted 6% on the house he was showing! He wanted me to screw my realtor broker and collect fifty bucks. Being the New York City boy as I am, I said, Well, you really don’t want to know, and I cursed at him like I was a drunken sailor who hasn’t been on shore leave for two years. We immediately made a u-turn and headed back to Tampa. I turned to my wife and said in my best mafia voice, “Now he’s got nothing.” I’m supposed to be buying from this guy and trusting him, and he’s screwing me even before we meet. I will only give you one chance to be trusted; if you fail, there is no second chance. He had a one-in-three chance of us buying his listing, plus he would have a crisp Grant in his pocket. Now he’s got nothing. Is this common? Also, while I’m at it, who determines the percentage rate for the realtor? Some realtors state 1.75% or 2%. What’s that all about?
Let’s get back to realtors: who do they work for? I am always confused about the buyer or the seller; they can’t sell a house without the owner, right? That’s where the cash is being generated. So they work for you, the owner. However, they play footies with the buyer, saying, “Don’t worry, we can get them down in price.” When my wife and I sold her previous house, we used. Nice people, so I thought they just wanted the listing. When we had a prospected buyer, I knew right away by the sidebar conversations that something was brewing and it was rotten. They asked me if they could have someone inspect the roof, and I agreed. The buyer brings one of his drinking buddies, wearing sneakers and a roofer. They ascended the ladder; they had no tools, had a little pow wow, and left without saying a word. People must think I’m a complete idiot; I am street smart! I have an IQ of 185 on the street! I look and sound like I came out of central casting for a mob movie. You are not pulling any wool over my eyes. Within minutes, our realtor, remembering the person working for me, calls and says in an excited voice, ”You need a new roof; the next strong wind will rip it right off!” I’m smiling and saying to myself, Are they for real? I responded to her, sort of like the drunken sailor, and told her to pick up her sign,For Sale,” which would be in the street. I pulled that sucker out of the ground as if it were a strong man’s cement or wood post and tossed them far in the street. They never came back for the sign, so I kept the 4×4 post and trashed the sign. So I ask again: who does your realtor really work for?
You heard it through the grapevine.

Do all states or counties in states require permits on Accessory Dwelling Units often referred to as ADUs? I like to put an accessory dwelling unit for additional rental income due to bidenomics and the out of control inflation and cost of living.
