Is Your Home Under Water? New FHA Refi might help!!!
So many home owners in San Bruno, South San Francisco, Daly City, San Mateo and all over the country owe more than their home is worth (under water). Some have tried to modify their loan, short sale, refinance and have run into a frustrating brick wall.
Well here is a new alternative. FHA has a new loan that will allow refinancing for homes under water. They do have very specific requirement but it is worth a shot. Please read the following article from the Sunday September 5, 2010 S.F. Chronicle written by Kathleen Pender in her Net worth column. Please do not hesitate to contact me for FHA approved lenders. lee@leesellsmore.com or 877-Lee-Sells

A Letter from a San Bruno Fire Victim
A letter from a friend…
Dear Everyone,
One or two of you may not even know about the big gas main explosion and fire, but I didn’t want to miss anybody. Got my home back Sunday as did all of the lucky ones in our small San Bruno neighborhood after a few days of uncertainty. My place got no more than a small touch of smoke damage although the refrigerator was a powerful reminder that the power had been off for four days. I have decided to continue to pay my taxes (an attempt at humor) because I was very impressed with not only local and state response but also the national response. Local stores like the Gap (Thanks, Denise!) and Lunardi’s gave out very generous gift cards and of course PG&E wrote out $1000 checks on the spot. On the sad side the 37 homes that were TOTALLY destroyed was a very hard sight to see.
Many thanks to all of you for your concerns and support.

Bless San Bruno
You know we have seen other natural disasters similar to the San Bruno Explosion.
When we watch it on TV and it happens hundreds or thousands of miles away it a tragedy, it is terrible.
When it happens around the corner from you and it is heartbreaking.
When it happens to you, I doubt there are words to explain those your thoughts.
When you see the outpouring of volunteers, donations, and support it is heartwarming.
It makes me proud to say that I have lived and worked in San Bruno for 35 years ever since I moved from the East Coast.
Next time someone asks me where I work, I am going to say Loud and Clear;
