Your Path To Home Ownership Part 2 of 3
January 26th, 2011 categories: Buying San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Real Estate, Selling San Diego Real Estate

If you are just tuning in to this series, this is Part 2 or 3 on your Path to Home Ownership. It would be useful if you read Part 1 first and here is the link. Your Path To Home Ownership Part 1 of 3
Part 2 picks up with Step #8 through 14 of the 21 steps you will take with me guiding your way on the Path to Home Ownership.
Step 8. ( Loan Officer and Home Insurance Agent)
As part of your request for your loan, your loan officer will need you to select your home insurance carrier and have proof of a binder
guaranteeing that you have ample perils insurance to protect your investment. You might first call the company that insures your car. Generally there is a discount if you insure both with the same carrier. As part of you purchase , we would have requested the mandated California Zone Report on the property. One of the optional reports that can come with that Zone Report which we requested is a Clue Report. By ordering the C.L.U.E. Home Seller’s Disclosure Report, you will have a greater comfort level on a property for which the loss history is known. This will be useful information at the time you are getting a binder on the property. If there is a loss history within the last five years, it can in some cases also impact on an insurers coverage.

Is That Bedroom a Legal Bedroom?
January 15th, 2011 categories: Buying San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Real Estate Legal, Selling San Diego Real Estate
While interviewing for a listing of an older home that had an addition, I made an observation that ran counter to the homeowner’s understanding of the marketable size of the home. The home was originally built as a 3 bedroom home and an addition added years after it was originally built enlarged the master bedroom and bath and added a family room. The Master Bedroom was enlarged and an en suite master bath was added in back of the existing original second bedroom. In so doing the master bath design removed the window that was in the original bedroom and the opening in the wall was closed up. Because there was no remaining window, an operable skylight was added for natural light and ventilation.
Is the original 2nd bedroom with no window still a bedroom? The space has a door into it from the hallway which is original. The closet remains and the operable skylight as added for light and ventilation. There are 2 minimum requirements that defines a bedroom. Ventilation and secondary egress ( emergency exit) . Since there is no secondary egress, ( an operable window large enough to crawl through and no higher than 48” or a door that opens to the outside for emergency exit) it would be my opinion that this space is a secondary room and should not be marketed as a bedroom.
