I was looking for a downloadable map, directions, and Sunmart ticket locations for this year's (2009) Tri Cities Washington Parade of Homes and did not find one or any. So, I scanned in my copy and had my husband post the map here. Simply click on the image below and the page will open in a new window. Use the right click of your mouse and save the image to your desktop. Open the image in your photo or fax viewer and print. Alternatively, once the image is on your computer, right mouse click again and choose 'print.' Do the same for all four pages in the table below. Note: If you have problems, simply email us and we'll send ya a pdf copy that can be opened easily from your email.

I toured all 22 homes Wednesday the 9th and had a great time. I think you will too! Also, I've posted a few hundred photos on Flickr if interested. Enjoy your Parade Tour!

1. “A Brush With Kindness”, working with current homeowners such as the elderly or disabled who need exterior home repair and minor landscaping; and
2. “Inter-faith Build”, working together with all faiths represented in our area to build hope and understanding.

Real estate investment demands the presence of best loan options and buyer incentives. Today's construction financing is being catered to by banks, non depository institutions and private lenders that understand the market constraints a buyer is subjected to. When it comes to financing for the real estate requirements of the medical fraternity, the presence of non real estate components make the loans safe.
Construction projects in the case of most non medical borrowers would attract loan options of up to 80% of the required finance. However, with medial financing now in place, doctors and allied personal from the medical fraternity benefit with loan options that accommodates 90% financing! Real estate and related equipment value in the case of medical financing transactions are stretched even over 100%.
Medical practitioners need not hunt for third party providers for financing beyond local banks, anymore. With commercial mortgages specially designed for the community, these professionals can now enjoy:

• Higher repayment leverage
• Longer fixed rates of interest
• Amortization schedules of up to 30 years
• Non committal deals with regards to checking

Medical financing now enables professionals in places like Kennewick, Richland, & Pasco Washington to add quality to the noble endeavor. The Lane Real Estate Team can help procure financial, no matter how difficult and/or unique the need may be. Call us! ~ Colleen and Joe Lane, 509.438.9344, or email us today.
