I posted a link on my Facebook page today, letting my Friends know that my Husband Joe Villarreal has made the decision to participate in The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Lone Star Chapter "Tower Climb and Run" on February 26th, 2011. The beauty of his participation in this very difficult climb of 952 Steps up to to the top of the Tower of America's in San Antonio Texas, is that he HAS CYSTIC FIBROSIS. As a patient wanting to participate in this climb, to raise money and Awareness for this terrible disease, just makes me Beam with Pride!,
Some of the comments I received melted my heart. Some were congratulating him. Others were unaware and shocked he had it. And I found out that 3 of my friends have children or family members whom have it too.
It is amazing what you find out about each other when you allow yourself to become vulnerable and share personal information.
Throughout the day, our Inbox kept popping up notifications that a donation has been made to support Joe on his climb. Since he registered so late, he made a small donation goal of $150.00 to be able to participate. In less than 5 hours, he surpassed his goal! Now, we are just grateful to see others offer support.
As he commented on one of the threads... "My life and strength has never been for me but for those who didn't have the chances I was given. I will have a lot of hands pushing up those steps, Thanks for being there. :o)" Wow! That brought happy tears to my eyes! It will not be easy for him, nor anyone else participating. However, he will get to the top. He is determined. I cannot wait to go and see him accomplish this goal. Next year, I too will join him on the Climb!

One of my Repeat Clients from Out of State purchases Investment Properties in San Antonio TX to use as Rental Homes until he moves here and retires in approximately 5 years. His goal is to purchase Two Properties per year.
On Black Friday, I toured New Home Builder Subdivisions and found an awesome deal on a Brand new home in Bulverde Village that was a SPEC Home. This floorplan typically sells for $169,900 was being offered for $149,652 if Closed & Funded by December 31st, 2010. It had nice upgrades in it as well. Ceramic Tile floors in all wet areas, Neutral Colored Carpet, Downstairs Master Bedroom and Seperate Tub/Shower in Master Bath. If you use their Mortgage Company, they also would add an additional $2,000 Incentive towards closing cost to the Buyer. They even offered a nice Realtor Bonus on Top of it.
My client was already Pre-Approved with their Credit Union and was told they could close us by January 15th, 2011. My Buyer really wanted the additional $2,000, and I even offered a portion of my bonus to give him the additional $1,000 towards his closing cost if he would close by the end of the year. He was definitely motivated to go through the hassle of resubmitting all of his Financials, etc to the Builders Mortgage Company, and was offered a better rate and we just received the notification that his Loan is Approved and ready to close!
His Urgency to get his $3,000 Incentive also gave me a nice finish to 2010! We are both Mutually excited and he just found out that a potential Tenant is ready to occupy the property after closing. Win-Win or No Deal!
