President's Day Q & A
Thanks to all who stopped by the warm, cozy fire (link) and asked all those great questions. Since this was such a successful experiment, I will do this weekly (Thurs. evenings from 7:00 - 8:00 pm) and create a new link on my blog navigation that posts the questions you asked. I think I’ll affectionately call it my Fireside Chat Q and A. Catchy, huh?
Here’s a sample from our President’s Day chat:
Q. I have an outdoor cat, is that OK?
A. I don’t know much about cats, but sometimes homeowners are allergic, and that needs to be respected. All cats have to be indoor, basically staying in compliance with the CCR’s.
Q. How safe is the neighborhood?
A. According to LAlife.com, we are rated a 10 out of 10 for safety. No adjacent areas have that!
(This just in- Glendale,CA ranked top 25 safest cities in the country! (read more)
Q. My aunt’s a lender- can I use her for the loan?
A. Make sure she calls me first so I can be sure she pre-qualify’s the property. About half the lenders out there cannot close on a new subdivision.
Q. Cool site, dude!
A. Thanks! Can you put that in the form of a question?
Q. How much will closing costs be?
A. Closing costs are usually about 2-3% of the purchase price. Some of my blogging has talked about how we can help with this cost. Just send me an email and I can explain the details.
Q. Is there a laundry room for the property?
A. We have 2 community laundry rooms. The new Whirlpool washers and dryers just arrived!

Hi, Jerry: Here we are barely 3 wks. as homeowners at the Hudson.
We already feel like old-timers (which we are in reality). The amenities are better than we expected. Thanks for making things perfect for us. Love the kitchen and the hardwood floors. Driving seemed intimidating until we got to know the streets. You cannot get lost in Glendale. We have our favorite shops and restaurants already.
Our morning walks are enjoyable and the neighbors often nod or say good morning.
We are looking forward to joining the new library.
Loving the Hudson,
Nancy P.
Thanks, Nancy! we love having you here. Once I get on the ball and update the wine and dine section, you'll know about more great places!
