Studio Dinner, A Time Warp Back to the 40's

Studio Diner

This photo was taken with my iPhone

When I say a time warp, I truly mean it. The Studio dinner in set on a real live working movie and TV lot here in San Diego. I know, most think that movies are only made in Hollywood but this diner is set on the lot of the Stu Segal Movie and TV Productions.

One of the many things I love about San Diego is that there are so many hidden and out of the way treasures that as a working real estate professional interested in showcasing this amazing city, I am always looking for and finding new things of interest.

I would bet that if I said we have an active movie set production company here in San Diego, it would catch a lot of people by surprise. And if I told you that we have a really fine authentic 40's style diner, it would be equally surprising. Seems like it is one of our better kept secrets. I have lived here for over 25 years and did not know it existed. I guess I have to get out more.

Having now enjoyed a number of different meals at the Studio Diner, I was just as surprised to find the quality and selection of food to be so outstanding.

This is a fun experience for all ages. The diner's interior is decorated to look like a "Behind the Scenes" movie studio and with it being open 24 hours a day serving excellent food, the owner calls this the place for East Coast cooking for the out West crowd.

People rave about the food but when you couple that with the experience, I'd say this is one of the funnest dining experiences I have had in a long time.

Kearny Mesa~ San Diego California Foreclosures, Bank Owned REO, Homes for Sale, Real Estate.

Cody Haworth Carlsbad Homes for Sale: Real Estate Agent in Carlsbad, CA

Hello and Welcome to ~Kearny Mesa~ San Diego California Foreclosures, Bank Owned REO, Homes for Sale, Real Estate.

Understanding the foreclosure property auction (also known as Trustee Sale) process takes time, due diligence, and understanding. Saavy Real Estate investors can find some of the best deals around buying at these auctions, but is it right for everyone? We would like to help explain further about these auctions and the benefits and downsides of buying Real Estate at them.

Understanding the process is the key, and here is how the process goes as an overview:

Pre-Foreclosure (Also known as Notice of Default). Pre-Foreclosure is usually when the current homeowner is 90 days past due on their Mortgage. The current lender files with the County Recorders office a Notice of Default. When this is filed, this information becomes a matter of public record. When this notice is filed the lender usually usally gives the homeowner 90 days to come current on the amound their are past due. During this period a good amount of homeowners lately have been trying to obtain new financing terms by doing a Loan Modification with their current lender or a Short Sale with a Realtor if they know they aren't going to be able to keep up the payments due to hardship. Both of these things often times delay the foreclosure process as the bank looks to work with the current owner to see if one of these options may be a fit. To learn more about Pre-Foreclosures in ~Kearny Mesa~ San Diego and actually search Pre-Foreclosures in San Diego for free click the yellow map.

Foreclosure Sale (Alo known as Notice of Trustee Sale). The Foreclosure sale usally occurs and is scheduled roughly 90 days after the Notice of Default is issues. Although, most of the time this process is delayed currently. Notice of Trustee sale usally takes place on the courthouse steps in the County in which the property is located. In this case, most auctions take place in Downtown, San Diego. Properties are sold as is, without any warranties or guarantees, and they must be paid for on the spot with a certified cashiers check. Many times the buyer of that foreclosure property has to end up evicting the current homeowner or tenant and this sometimes can be a process. However, even though its a riskier process, the reward can be great. To learn more about Foreclosure Sales In ~Kearny Mesa~ San Diego and Search upcoming properties scheduled for Foreclosure click the yellow map below.

Bank Owned (REO). Bank owned properties are the properties that have gone through the two steps above and didn't sell at the Foreclosure Sale. In this case, the current lender has to take them back if there are no acceptable bids. This can also be a great area for an investor, because in a lot of cases, the lender does not want to own these properties. These can be great deals for an investor, you can also research these properties in greater detail than Foreclosure Auctions, and most all of the time you can use financing and obtain a home warranty with these. To learn more about Bank Owned REO listings in ~Kearny Mesa~ San Diego click here.

Re-Sale Properties. Many people think Re Sale properties are not a great deal with all the Foreclosure properties out there. This is actually not true in many cases. Re Sales have to be priced aggresively and in line with Foreclosures if they want to have a chance of selling in todays market. In a lot of cases a buyer or investor can buy a re sale that has been taken good care of, doesn't have much fix up to perform, and is very close in price to that of a Foreclosure that might require a lot of work. Sometimes people think that because they are buying a Foreclosure at 20% below market value that its always a steal, however sometimes there is 20% worth of rehabilitation to get the property back to standards that actually makes it the same deal as a re-sale. Making Re Sales a great option as well. To learn more about Re Sale Homes for Sale in ~Kearny Mesa~ San Diego click here.
