Evening Under The Stars 2012
May 5th is of course Cinco De Mayo – which is very important of course but in Palm Springs it is the equally Important Evening Under the Stars. In its’ 19th year this event is the AIDS Assistance Program’s annual fundraiser which generates a major portion of their operating budget for the Food Voucher Program.
The event takes place at the O’Donnell Golf Club in Palm Springs, right behind the Hyatt downtown. Not only is it a beautiful setting it is a great central location for such a fun event.
Past years have seen everyone from The B-52′s to Barry Manilow and Suzanne Sommers perform but this year Evening Under The Stars will feature the music of the all-female rock band The Go-Go’s. The actress, the lovely, Lainie Kazan will act as Mistress of Ceremonies. The menu for the event is being created by Celebrity Chef Susan Feniger.
Dancing, dinner and entertainment under the stars in downtown Palm Springs all for a great cause! How could you not want to go?

Factory Built Green Homes Coming Of Age
At the recent modernism week event in Palm Springs the public was treat to the opportunity to see the first Factory built affordable Green home.
Living home is offering this prototype model of what they can build for about 185K exclusive of the cost of the land. I personally took the tour and was impressed with the fit and finish of the model. It felt very solid – and while not huge – felt open and airy.
These homes are not only Leed certified but can be totally finished on your lot in as little as 8 hours.
As the worlds resources tighten and become more expensive it is easy to see how sustainable building models like this will make big inroads into the marketplace.

Bankruptcy and Property Liens
Many homeowners, under stress from mounting debts and facing possible foreclosure opt for Bankruptcy as a strategy to handle their debts. Popular wisdom is this is the way to wipe the slate clean and start all over.
One of the problems with this scenario is the lien on the property can remain post Bankruptcy.
So for example; you decide to take bankruptcy. The actual debt of the loan is discharged – you are no longer personally liable for the balance of the mortgage debt. However, the bank has retained their position on the property by means of not removing the lien they hold on the property. Now the bank – usually a second mortgage holder – is a player in the probable short sale you are trying to do. This can impede the short sale process and complicate things further.
Many sellers who have completed bankruptcy are surprised to find out that this can be true. But it is. In this flyer from our friends at Orange Coast Title you will find out how to try and avoid this problem.
