Joan Bergstrom Riverside CA Mobile Notary

CA State Notary Test/Exam

I had posted two months ago that I thought the time frame for a CA state notary commission would take 4 months from test to commission.
I think this time frame is incorrect and it should be approximately 8-10 weeks.

If you are a notary who is re-commissioning, you will receive your commission 30 prior to the date your old commission expired.
email me if you have any questions?

Inland Empire CA Home Foreclosures

I am hearing over and over again from friends/business colleagues/students at my notary classes/etc that they personally know friends that are living in homes for 1-2 years without making a house payment and no one has been evicted.

I don't think these are "Urban Legend Stories" because too many people actually know someone who is living in such a home situation. For instance my financial advisor said 6 of his clients in Riverside are doing this.

What is the the reason(s) the lender hasn't foreclosed and taken over these properties?

I am wondering if the lender can keep the home on it's books as not showing a loss or are they trying to "prop up" home prices in the Inland Empire.

We should have ton more homes available in the Inland Empire than we do.

I do a lot of mobile notary work for tenants in apartment buildings and most apartment complexes have a sign up front that offers $200-$500 for a moved in tenant referral.

There are very few homes for sale but apartment owners have to offer a "bounty to get a tenant."

Doesn't make sense to me!

Renewing CA Notaries Only

Yesterday I talked to the Calif. CPS (they administer the test for CA Notaries) and I was told that "renewing notaries" would probably not receive their commissions until 4 months after he/she take the test and pass.

I really recommend renewing notaries take the test 6 months before their commission expires.

At least half of the renewing notaries in my notary classes will have a 2-3 month period where their commission will be void.

This time frame (4 months) might get worse (this is my opinion only).

July 1, 2010 Mileage Rates

I was teaching a loan signing course for www.notaryclasses.com yesterday in Anaheim CA and I had a tax accountant in the room and she told me the mileage rate for business mileage is updated every Jan 1st and July 1st and July 1,2010 the rate will be $0.55 per mile.

In my opinion, mileage should be documented everyday and put in a log. Lots of money!!
