Vine Street Garage

Hollywood Condos

Parking is always a problem regardless if you’re looking for a LA Condo, Hollywood Condo or even for that matter a Santa Monica Condo. Finding a parking spot when Angelinos venture into Hollywood is always a feat in itself. Either you have to pay top dollar to valet your car or hopefully find a spot which doesn't require permit parking. Since Hollywood is such a hot spot for Hollywood Condos living, restaurants, shopping, and a portion of the city's entertainment dealing with parking is always a headache. Thus living in a Hollywood Condo so close to the action is such a blessing. Even living at the condos in the W Hotel or AKA the W Condos it’s so convenient as the Metrolink is right under ground and can take you anywhere.

The parking garage has 457 spaces and is located at Hollywood and Vine which is such a relief for many who want to venture out to Hollywood for a show or a bite to eat. The cost for these 5 levels of parking is about 17 millions dollars which has been raised through the Special Parking Revenue Fund that is fed by parking meters and fees that the city collects. This is a huge feat that the city is doing to de-congest Hollywood and make it easier for residents who live and work in the surrounding. Hollywood Condo owners should feel that this is a great addition as they won’t have people parking I front of their driveways when they are trying to get out like LA Condos.

We want to offer you every listing in the LA area for condos and current active properties. We can offer private tours of any Condo in the LA area regardless of the listing agent. Find out how affordable Hollywood Condos can be. CONTACT US DIRECTLY AT (877) 921-0111 for updates on any listings for LA Condos. We look forward to speaking with you soon.

Reminds me what a cool place Los Angeles can be to live where we can meet people living their dreams. So many musicians, artists, and entrepreneurs living on their passions.

Answers To The Most Common Questions

About Hollywood Reverse Mortgages.

Hollywood Hills


FHA's Reverse Mortgage Program, the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (aka HECM’s) really are a safe, secure loan. In the course of my business I often run across some common misconceptions. I’d like to take this opportunity to educate the reader about some of the most common questions about this loan.


How Much Can I Borrow?
Loan amounts are determined by three factors:
1.)Age of the youngest borrower (the older you are the more you can borrow).
2.)Current interest rates.
3.)Home value (the higher the home value, the more you can borrow with a cap on calculations at $625,500) This Lending Limit is set to expire on December 31, 2011 and will revert back to a limit of $417,000. If your home is here in Hollywood keep that in mind as lower limits will lower the loan proceeds

Will the bank own my home?
No. You remain the owner of your home and can stay as long as you wish, as long as you pay property taxes, keep the home insured and maintain the home. When your home is sold, the reverse mortgage is repaid (along with accrued interest and anyfees) and any remaining equity goes to you or your heirs.

Can I qualify for a reverse mortgage if I already have a home loan (or two)? Absolutely, IF you qualify for enough reverse mortgage funds to pay off your existing mortgage(s) or are willing to provide any shortage. I have had homeowners willing and able to bring funds to closing in order to obtain the benefit of no more mortgage payments! Bye bye house payment!

Will my income or credit score affect my eligibility for a reverse mortgage?
Not really. Because you don't make monthly payments on a reverse, your income and credit score are NOT required. HOWEVER, you must not have a recent foreclosure or any defaulted federal debts or have a non-discharged bankruptcy.

What if I outlive the Reverse Mortgage?
You cannot outlive a reverse mortgage. The actual due date is 150 years from the date of the youngest borrower OR when the last remaining borrower no longer lives permanently in the home. No matter if you run out of equity, use all the available RM funds, or become “underwater” on the debt, owing more than value. Your obligation remains the same - Live in the home, maintain the home, keep the property taxes and insurance current.
HECM Reverse mortgage are a safe, secure FHA Insured mortgage that allows an older homeowner to tap into their home equity without the burden of monthly mortgage payments, ever. The loan proceeds may be taken as lump sum, tenure payments, line of credit, term payments or any combination. Fixed rate HECM loans are available, but only have the lump sum disbursment option.

"Los Angeles 411" - Late Night Thai Food in Hollywood, CA - Torung Restaurant

"Los Angeles 411" - Late Night Thai Food in Hollywood, CA - Torung Restaurant

One of my favorite Thai restaurants is Torung, in Hollywood, California.

Not only is the food fresh and tasty, but the prices are extremely reasonable. And Torung opens at 5PM and stays open until 4AM!! So if you're making it a late night in Hollywood, it's the perfect place.

There's nothing better than a nice, fresh piping hot pot of Thai soup delivered to your table in a flaming hotpot.

I think the most popular Thai dish is Pad Thai, made with rice noodles in a savory, slightly spicy sauce.

But one of my favorite dishes that is not very well known is Yum Woon Sen. It is actually made with silver noodles made from mung beans. This also means that there is no "starchy" carbohydrates to this type of noodle. It's also called the "diet" noodle in many Asian cultures. Yum Woon Sen is a splash of flavor in your mouth with lemon juce, lime juice, chile, cilantro, and your favorite kind of meat or vegetable (I prefer the one with fried tofu).

Anyway, if you're every in Hollywood in the wee hours doing some sight seeing, look up Torung, and.......enjoy!

One thing to note: it is one of the few restaurants that accepts only cash. So make sure you've got some before getting the bill!

It is located at 5657 Hollywood Boulevard, in Hollywood, CA.
