Men’s amateur baseball leagues

Are there any baseball (not softball) leagues in the Coachella Valley? Bonus would be if it’s a +35 age league? The closest I could find is a San Bernardino league that sometimes plays at Xavier but even that website looks like it’s defunct since COVID.

There’s a Facebook page for “Coachella Valley Adult Baseball League” but the only posts in the last 3 years have been memes and high school events.

Hit & Run

This car purposely swerved into me headed South down Portola near Hovley around 1pm today. Anyone recognize this vehicle? Were you a witness? Based on the damage to my vehicle, they should have damage to their driver’s side doors.

Bachelorette Party in Palm Springs

Hey guys,

I’m planning a bachelorette party in Palm Springs! We found this airbnb in Coachella, CA, do you guys know of activities and bars that we could do around there? Palm Springs Downtown seems far and Ubers seem expensive as well! Thanks in advance!

Update: I truly appreciate everyone’s input and advice :) we are gonna stay the downtown area!

Mission Hills - windy?

I appreciate that pretty much the whole valley gets wind but curious how much windier Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage is compared to some of the communities closer to the mountains. Thanks

Local Honey for Allergies

Does anyone have experience with using local honey to manage allergies? I’m a little dubious of this but after the week I’ve had, there’s little I won’t try. LOL

Thanks!

Bob Hope Dr

Has anyone ever caught a green wave down Bob Hope? I love driving from Frank Sinatra to the 111 as an alternate to my commute because it’s so pretty, but I can never seem to catch a green wave and seem to get stuck just about at every light and it drives me nuts. What’s the deal?

Ben Franklin Elementary?

Curious if anyone is familiar with this school? We have a young 3 year old and may be moving to the Cove soon. We’re a white family, which doesn’t really matter, but I see it’s a heavily Hispanic concentrated school.

Curious if anyone has any good/bad reviews to share? Thanks!

CALHFA Dream For All - Up to $150,000 in downpayment/closing cost assistance for first time homebuyers

I posted this on facebook last week and so many people reached out with questions about the program that I quickly realized that it is not well known.

This CALHFA (California Housing Finance Agency) program is NOT for everyone but if you fit the box and win the assistance it can be a GREAT opportunity! Let me break it down for you and help answer any questions you may have.

  • What is CALHFA Dream For All Program?

    • Under this program, CALHFA will contribute up to 20% for down payment or closing costs, capped at $150,000. This assistance doesn't need immediate repayment but is returned – without interest – upon selling or refinancing the home. However, be ready to repay 20% of any appreciation on your home's value, this is a Shared Appreciation Loan
  • Eligibility

  1. ALL applicants must be First-Time Homebuyers - this means that they have not owned a home they lived in, in the last 3 years. 
  2. At least ONE of the applicants needs to be a First-Generation Homebuyer - this means that they have not owned a home in the USA in the last 7 years AND, to the best of their knowledge, their parents do not currently own a home in the USA or didn’t own a home at the time of their death. If the applicant were ever in foster care - they would be considered a First-Generation Homebuyer. CALHFA does audit for this so it’s VERY important to be truthful.
  3. Be either a citizen or other national of the US, or a eligible non-citizen borrower
  4. At least ONE of the applicants must be a current California resident
  5. IF you do not qualify we can always look at other CALHFA down payment assistance programs that might work for you.
  • Income Limits

    • The applicant(s) income cannot exceed the CALHFA county income limits which are quite generous. In Riverside county, the annual income limit is $149,000
      • IF the borrower's income is less than or equal to 80% of the Area Median Income (we can go over this if it applies) they only have to give back 15% of the shared appreciation
    • Borrower can contribute up to 5% of their own funds on top of the assistance - this is not necessary
  • Shared Appreciation

    • Example: Let's say you purchase a home for 700,000 and at the time of repayment the property is valued at 900,000
      • CALHFA will want what you originally borrowed for a downpayment/closing costs without interest
      • CALHFA will want 20% of the shared appreciation. In this case, 200k of the shared appreciation gets split - you keep 160,000 and 40,000 goes to CALHFA
    • This money goes right back into the CALHFA funding pool to help the next round of first time homebuyers. Other loan events may trigger the shared appreciation loan to be due - we will go over all of this later
  • Important things to note

    • This is not "first come first served" - this will be a lottery format
      • In order to enter the raffle, the applicants must get pre-approved by a CALHFA Approved Lender, get a registration voucher from the lender, register through the CALHFA portal, get their CALHFA Dream - First Time Home Buyer Certificate and complete the submission
    • The registration window is open from April 3rd - April 29th (5pm)
  • NEXT STEPS:

    • APPLY ASAP. It is my job to make this process as educational and seamless as possible. I am a CALHFA Approved Senior Loan Officer with over 15 years of experience in the lending industry. My team is also trilingual in English/Spanish/Portuguese. There’s a lot we can knock out prior to submitting your voucher - For example:
      • Watch the required educational course, gathering documents, making sure this program works for you, checking credit etc.
  • Whether you’re an agent trying to work together or a potential buyer - do not hesitate to reach out via DM or comment below. I am here to help:)
