Downtown Long Beach Living

Urban Minded Buyers

While Downtown Long Beach is certainly not the perfect place for just anybody to live, it can fulfill the needs and desires of many urban minded buyers. Some areas of Downtown are still a little gritty, but for the most part this has become one heck of a desirable place to call home.

The Sunset Pointe Condominiums on West 4th Street have much to offer in the way of location and access to all of the wonderful entertainment and fine dining that Downtown Long Beach has to offer. Just one short block to the lovely Cesar Chavez Park and a short walk to Pine Avenue, the beach or to The Pike, makes this a slam dunk.

The picture above was taken from the top floor, corner unit at the Sunset Pointe Condominiums, this is the view the seller's have enjoyed from their living room and from their couch. Pretty nice, huh? Since they are a corner unit, they also have a view of sunrise over Signal Hill from both bedrooms, which is very nice to wake up to if you have your furniture positioned to best advantage.

If you work in Downtown Long Beach you would be with-in walking distance of your office, or place of employment. You would also be a short walk to the Metro Blue Line, which will take you into Downtown Los Angeles. So, are you an urban minded buyer, looking for that perfect Downtown Long Beach place to call home? Do you think you might enjoy that view? If so, give me a call (562) 212-5420, it would be my pleasure to assist you in your Downtown Long Beach Home purchase.

Buyers Don't Get Ripped Off By Your Lender

Psssst,

Hey you...

Yeah you...

The one getting a loan...

Wanna know a secret?

Shhhhhh...

It's a good one...

It's called a lock in letter, and it is one of the most valuable assets you have to protect yourself from getting ripped off by your lender. Yeah, I know, he is a nice guy and you trust him. So did many other buyers that got ripped off.

So many buyers are being sold loans by lenders who do not have the ability to provide the loan they initially present. Insisting on a lock-in letter assures you the loan is real and that you actually qualify for it. You see, they could not provide you with the lock-in letter otherwise.

If you request a lock-in letter and it is not provided immediately, RUN as fast as you can. I don't care what the excuse or reason your lender gives you, it is false. No lock-in letter, no business.

Lock in letters are free of charge and guarantee that you will close escrow with the interest rate and terms of the loan that was presented to you initially by your lender.

Don't get caught in a bait and switch by an unethical lender!
