A Southern California desert compound built by a Gucci heiress is now available to rent for $28,000 a month.  Located in Palm Desert, about 25 miles south of Palm Springs, the home was bought and renovated in the 1990s by Patricia Gucci, the only daughter of Aldo Gucci and granddaughter of Guccio Gucci, who founded the luxury Italian fashion house, according to The Wall Street Journal . It has been on and off both the sales and rental markets since 2012, once asking as much as $9 million, the listing history shows.

Big Beautiful Bill Win For Homeowners

  What the One Big Beautiful Bill Means for Real Estate and You ·          Overall, OBBB was a big win for real estate: it extended and/or permanently enshrined many tax breaks for homeowners, property investors, and Realtors. The NAR (National Association of Realtors), NAHB (National Association of Home builders), and MBA (Mortgage Bankers Association) all loved it. Let’s a take a closer look at the relevant provisions: Permanent extension of the 2017 (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) personal income tax rates , which were scheduled to sunset after 2025. The highest marginal tax rate will remain at 37%, with inflation adjustments (protecting more income from taxes) for the 10%, 12% and 22% brackets.

Rent Payments Help Home Buyers Qualify For Mortgage

   Judaysia Walsh Real Estate Agent dre02180921 Americans will be able to leverage their rent payments to qualify for a mortgage under a new order from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte. Pulte, who heads the primary U.S. housing regulator that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, posted on X on Tuesday that "credit history will no longer just include credit cards and loans."  In recent weeks, the housing regulator has been slowly expanding ways that Americans will be able to qualify for a mortgage, even directing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac last month to consider cryptocurrency as an asset for single-family mortgage loan risk assessments. Pulte ordered the government-sponsored enterprises, which play a critical role in the home financing industry, to "prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage."  Previously, home buyers' credit was based solely on FICO scores, which did not consider rent payments. Now, Re...

Chosing A Gated Community

Image
When you are searching for the right home, consider looking at properties in gated communities if you value privacy and security. A gated community is a highly secure residential neighborhood that’s enclosed by fences or walls. It may also have controlled entrances that can only be accessed by traveling through a gate. Getting into the community is possible via a camera, security guard, or keypad. The purpose of a gated community is to ensure residents receive a level of security and privacy that isn’t available in standard neighborhoods and suburbs. Most entrances into gated communities are monitored or guarded, which means that access is restricted for non-residents.Many prospective homeowners consider gated communities because they allow for a more relaxed and peaceful lifestyle.
