Hi Howie.
Thank you for letting me know about the event posting; however, I am super busy
and didn’t have time to post. I take a look at it but it seems like a long
process to do although if I try once it should get easier. ^^
Anyway, I hope you guys can make it to the event. Hideo will be helping me until
9am… If not, sometimes on the weekend at the OB pier for fishing.
Let’s get together again and have some wine!

Hi. Actually posting events is extremely easy. You simply click on the date of
your event and input the following information.
Location.
Title.
Description.
Anyway, maybe next time. I began making event videos and already they are
becoming very popular. Check it out.

The director of the lawn program in Balboa Park bought lunch and invited me and
Akiko to her house for dinner because of the House of India videos. Anyway, this
looks to be a busy summer. Meet one of these days. Talk to you again.

Jim. I sent this to your online contact form and forgot the links to my sites
were a signature in this email account. Anyway, this is the same email with the
links included. Hi. It certainly has been awhile. I need someone who can provide
real estate and mortgage services. I decided to contact you and see if you might
be interested in handling the following situations. * Friends of mine recently
bought a house in Mission Valley. The house is now in escrow and they are
shopping around for a mortgage and asked me if I knew anyone who could find a
good loan for them. * My wife Akiko and I are planning to purchase a house at
the end of this summer and wanted to begin looking now. We would need a loan and
we want to rent out the condo which is paid off. A bit about our situation.
Akiko is working full-time for a good company in SD. I own four websites now,
three of which total over 3000 pages. The links to the three sites are at the
bottom of this email. The newest website is in the beginning stages. We expect
fairly good income from all four sites within the next few months. Incidentally,
you could be doing much more with your site to generate more business. After
four years doing site design and SEO, pretty much an expert on the subject. Be
happy to show you. Anyway, now over 600 local and national groups are posting
events regularly on my SD site. You can check out our SD event and English
instruction videos. Let me know when you would like to meet and discuss all
this. Send email when you can. Howie.

Thanks for thinking about me in regards to your referral and your own lending

Hi, I just noticed that it has been 2 years since I left from San Diego.
Dude, so far so good.
I became fulltime employee last week, (actually I was working as parttime)
so I moved in the main floor of the store, in which I can make more money,
and I am working for the men's department.
My English is still developing, so it's handicap for me to compete with my
coworkers,
but I realized that I can speak three different languages.
I'm still learning English and skills for sale, but I'm kinda sure of making
money
as much as the others do.
I keep working at Japanese restaurant, and I became a host for Friday night.
As you imagine, Friday night is crazy... a lot of phone calls and walk-in
customers.
I have to organize reservation customers and tables, and also taking to go
orders.
Sometimes it drives me crazy, however, it is a very good opportunity to train my
English.
Life is busy, but I am very satisfied with my situation.
I can feel that I am learning a looooot.
How is your life?
I haven't seen your English site recently, but I guess it has been successful.
Let me know how you guys have been.
Mimai started working at Hitachi company last month, she lives in Odawara now.

Hi. Yup, really been awhile. I was telling Akiko that you and I grew up together
and we were saying what a shame it is there has been no contact for such a long
time. Hopefully that will change from now.
Thanks much for the kind words about the sites. Been doing this for awhile and
really fun. A little bit of background. I was self-employed as a real estate
appraiser for many years. I closed the company and retired about 8 years ago and
went back to school and graduated with a degree in Japanese studies and then a
TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate from SDSU.
I traveled abroad several times to teach English and then made an English
language learning site. The Japanese Society of San Diego wanted to advertise on
the site. We were invited to a Beer and Sake festival and after the festival we
began making the SD site.
The Japanese language learning site is more of a hobby site but getting really
popular. I read hundreds of publications over the last few years and became
quite adept at optimizing sites for search. Tell you more about this another
time if you’re interested.
Anyway, my friends names are Miyuki and Jason. Actually I met Miyuki many years
ago and we are very good friends. I am going to send your name and email address
to them and tell them to contact you. No problem about the referrals. You and I
go back a long way and I am happy to send you any real estate business.
Actually I am pretty connected in this town because of the SD site. Every year
around 600 groups post hundreds of events for free. In return, Akiko and I get
“comp” tickets to just about everything in town. I began making event videos a
few weeks ago and already getting a lot of attention from these. The videos for
the House of India performances in Balboa Park got us free lunch and an
invitation to the director’s house for dinner a couple weeks later. Check this
link for the videos.
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/san-diego-california-events-videos.htm
No doubt, I can send tons of business your way using the site. Not sure if you
remember Jim and Linda Timlin. They own San Diego Business Supply and our
families go back many years. I put his logo and a link to his site on the SD
site and they received a lot of business. Anyway, talk more about this when we
meet.
You can check out our crazy English videos.
http://funeasyenglish.com/english-video-lessons.htm
Akiko and I enjoy a good Cabernet anytime. Not sure if you and your wife are
wine drinkers but we should definitely do a pot luck at our place or your place.
Akiko is a fantastic cook and we can bring some Japanese cuisine. She works M-F
until 5:30 each night. We could meet during the week or, even better, on Friday
or the weekend and spend the evening drinking and getting caught up on many
years.
Let me know when dinner would be convenient. Tell me if there are any foods you
guys cannot eat. We go to a lot of dinner parties and got in the habit of
asking. Many of our friends cannot eat spicy food or have food allergies. We eat
pretty much anything. Anyway, enough writing already. Send email when you can.

i WILL NOT GO BACK NEXT year.
I worked from 5:30 AM to 1:00 PM (my relief at noon was late).
I then went home and took a nap till 3:15.
and came back at 4 to tear down the booth.
The only hilite of the day was riding on the GNABA float IN THE PARADE
and Throwing Rubber hammers at the crowd.
I will do that agAIN.
Sorry I missied Fishing.

fantastic parking. Good side benefit of the site.
Met a lot of people and trying to finish up four new videos from the event.
Akiko and I came home and made BBQ burritos. We polished off a ton of

I will check out your links when I get a chance. Sounds like fun to get all
those comps. Always something to do.
Where do you live? Linda and I have been in PQ since we bought here in 1997.
Life is crazy busy. I am working two jobs right now - more on that later - and

Hi. I met Akiko in a small library in the countryside of Japan. Kind of a long
and cool story. Tell you the details when we meet. We began dating many years
ago and finally were married last year. We go back and forth to Japan a lot.
Actually I was there for 6 months last year with a little time in Thailand.
Again, many stories.
Tell me the names of your kids and ages. You must be busy with them and working
two jobs. Now Valerie is 18 and in college. I am thankful every day she turned
out to be a nice girl, no drugs, no smoking, no drinking, etc. My place is
across from the high school and I see the way kids are these days. We are
planning a family now. Maybe your kids are already old enough to babysit. hehe.
I was telling Akiko I learned a lot from you when we were kids and you were kind
of an older brother. Lots of stories like keeping you up at night with my
allergies. Funny stuff. Anyway, we can meet when you find the time. Akiko works
m-f, 9:00 – 5:30 and the weekends are good anytime. You guys could also join us
at one of the weekend events. Lots of cool stuff coming up. We plan to go to
these for sure.
This weekend - 20th Annual American Indian Culture Days.
5/17/08 - Explore Mission Trails Day.
5/25/08 - 26th Annual Ethnic Food Fair.
You can read more about these events on my SD site. We both really like fishing
and usually fit it in every weekend. You could bring the family out for that
too. We pretty much became experts over the last few years. Yup.
Oh yeah, we are in San Carlos a mile away from Mission Trails. You should take
the kids hiking and to the visitors center for sure. Then we could do a BBQ at
my place. About the wine. Akiko and her family are really strong drinkers. It
was incredibly fun staying with them. Incidentally, we drink cheap….but
delicious….wine.
Anyway, let me know when you can meet. My telephone number is 619-697-1698. This

Hello!
How are you?
I have been sick for six months since my wife and I started a divorce arranged
through the Family Court.
It's really hard task. I went to the Court three times, and talked with the
members of a mediation committee.
They agreed my point that my wife caused the ploblem, and the judgement was in
my favor. But she didn't abide by the verdict. So I have to go to the Court to
talk about her action once a month even though the divorce arrengement was done.
I am really stressed out.
I hope it will be good.

Hi. Really been awhile for sure. Recently some old friends contacted me and it
made me think about many people. Decided to try to find friends who were
important to me and thought of you.
Anyway, about your question. This is kinda the quick summary. I closed my
appraisal company about eight years ago. Went back to school and graduated with
a degree in Japanese studies and a TEFL, Teaching English as a Foreign Language,
certificate. Went to Japan and taught English several times. I met Akiko many
years back. We dated and finally got married last year.
I made a very successful online English teaching site, a SD event site, a
Japanese site, and now another teaching related site is in the works. These are
the site addresses.
http://funeasyenglish.com/
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/

I recently began making event videos for the SD site. Now about 600 groups post
hundreds of events in a given year. This is the link for the video page.
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/san-diego-california-events-videos.htm
These are the crazy English videos. You can see my wife in these. Some of the
videos are really stupid but enjoy.

Anyway, a bit of tech stuff for ya. Recently Akiko and I made some Google
Gadgets. These are basically miniature applications that can be embedded in a
blog, site, or iGoogle page. The gadgets we made put us in the top 80 Google
Gadget developers worldwide. It was very cool. You can check out the gadgets we
made for our sites up until now.
Check out the number of jobs posted on the China job board.
http://funeasyenglish.com/google-gadgets.htm
These are our most popular gadgets and send about 60 percent of our site traffic
on the Japanese site.
http://japaneselanguageculturefood.com/google-gadgets.htm
This is our classifieds section on the SD site.
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/classifieds.htm
We made this awhile ago but decided to hold off promoting it until we made
gadgets. People are still finding the classifieds in search and posting,
especially those crazy real estate agents. You are welcome to post your listings
in the real estate section and your mortgage services in the services section.
The posts can be as long as you want and you can embed a picture.
Check this page for posting tips.
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/post-event.htm
This should keep you busy for awhile.
Anyway, I was thinking that a mortgage rate calculator or even current real
estate listings for sale might make good gadgets. It would be more visitors for
our SD site and possibly generate more business for you. Yup, the Internet is
awesome for sure. Send email with your thoughts when you can.

Besides that, I also work out at least 4 times a week in order to keep in shape.

Dear Howie.
My name is Neil Hovland and I have been speaking with Aya Ibarra from the Japan
Society. She has been very helpful and, as you may know, told me I should get in
contact with you. Here is a little bit about me. I am twenty-five year old
married guy who just finished everything for a Masters of Arts at SDSU in Asian
Pacific Studies. My wife does not have a degree, but we wanted to experience
Japan before we start a family. Now my specialization is Japanese History. The
only problem is I have never lived in Japan, I have been there twice and took
three years of the language as an undergrad, but frankly without living there
I'm all talk. What do I really know about Japan without having lived there?
Plus, it is very important if I want to get into any PhD. program down the line.
So I thought to myself the easiest thing to do would be to teach English in
Japan. Well, there are some problems with this. I know it is highly competetive
for one and a lot of people apply to the Big English Schools, but also a lot of
those schools seem to actively discourage bringing any family to Japan. I want
this to be a shared experience with my wife and I so Aya said you were the
person to talk to about contacting more private schools/tutoring and the like. I
am not too worried about salary and such as we have money saved up, but maybe
you can help steer me in places to apply which are less aprehensive about
couples coming over. Or even still should we just go to Japan and try our luck
once there? Anyway, thank you for your time and I hope to have a response from
you with any questions or comments soon.

Hi. I wanted to update you on some Internet stuff. The new technology was
installed last night in the form of opinion polls for the upcoming election. I
spent the entire day collecting politician email from the registrar of voters
site and a ton of other sites which now totals about 16 pages of email
addresses. Anyway, began sending email to politicians and they are going crazy
voting and sending email to everyone to vote on the polls. The site traffic is
already over 10 times the normal amount and probably gonna be much higher
tonight. They post and then keep coming back to check the new results.
We are planning an entire election coverage on the SD site beginning next month,
including polls, opinion and debate boards, and new Google gadgets. Gonna be
crazy. Anyway, I needed to take off all the banners on the home page except for
the banners to my other Internet sites as the home page needs to be redone in
preparation for the upcoming elections. Needed to get it cleaned up a bit.
Things will be back to normal in awhile.

Hi, Howie.
The link below gives you all of the listings in 92119 - a whopping 19 homes.
Prices have definitely come down. It is a good time to buy. I talked to a new
client who told me that his friend was buying condos in El Cajon for $130K. Two
bedrooms and Section 8 is paying $1,200. He is getting a positive cash flow on
all of them. I have heard other anecdotal evidence too. I have an agent in South
Bay who sold a SFR: Built 2004, 4 BR, 2.5 bath 1800+ sq ft, REO...$360,000! Can
you believe it? When it went into escrow, there were 5 homes on the block for
sale. They all went pending within 7 days. Prices are really bottoming out and
the investors and owner occupants are moving in. I'll also forward you another
story from the WSJ. By the way, you can get on Tempo 3 until the end of May
unless they extend it again. www.sandicor.com user is 612121 and pass is Danman1.
This will go away when Tempo 5 goes solo. They came out with a code fob that you
have to use to get on Tempo 5. The code lasts 60 seconds. They are really making
it so only agents with the code fob can have access to the MLS.
I called Miyuki today. She left me a message on Thursday, but I was swamped all
weekend. She chose a lender out of Anaheim, quoting 5.625% and 1 point and
$2,400 in fees. I quoted her 5.5% and 1 point and $2,000 in fees. Low over head
and all that! I would end up with about a half point profit, but that's cool to
get the deal. I put her in a tizzy. She would like the loan but I can tell that
she isn't the kind of person that can cancel with her other lender. She sounds
very sweet. It's cool if she doesn't switch, and I do appreicate the referral. I
just had a busy week....where were all these people for the last 18 months?!
We will have to catch up soon.

possible to sway her in your direction.
Akiko and I spent the weekend home working. Kind of a long story but been
working with this Javascript company for the last year. Their technology is
really cool and utilizes their servers. Tried it before but many issues came up
and told the owner they need to work things out before I use it on my sites.
Much better now and made voter opinion polls.
The local politicians are going crazy over this. The site traffic increased over
ten times already and still a few more hours to go tonight. Akiko and I plan to
do much more for the next elections. A link to the polls is on the home page of
the SD site.
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/
Not sure what you know about the Internet business but pretty much like a
newspaper. More visitors means more advertising revenue. We get paid 24 hours a
day from clicks on ads. We are finally getting ready to go into direct ads and
online shops. Companies approached us many times but we declined as I was not
ready to go back into a full time business. Anyway, really looking forward to
getting together and talking about all this. Probably put you to sleep with all
the boring site talk.
Anyway, the food fair is coming up later this month. If you cannot find time to

Hi. We really enjoyed access to the property listings. Akiko and I decided on
this house in La Jolla for 24 million. A bit much to clean and kind of too many
bathrooms. Unbelieveable. Actually the house was in RSF. Not sure.
Anyway, we really were not thinking about a house until the summer but a couple
houses caught our attention in Santee. If we rent out the condo it should cover
our payments but need you to run some calculations to be sure. These are the
properties. Not much to look at but we plan to move again in a couple years if
the market picks up and maybe even sell the condo and put the equity from both
places into a new home. Both places are bank owned.

Hi. We are going to drive the closest property tonight when Akiko gets off work.
I checked some comps for the condo, and prices went down like 30 percent from a
couple years ago. Really awful. The rental income would be good though being
close to two colleges. Yup, this was the place I bought for my folks many years
ago at a foreclosure sale.
I worked for many years in order to retire and basically do anything I wanted.
Really enjoy the ease of the online business and the freedom to travel. Can work
anywhere now. The condo makes things easy and I was really not thinking about a
house but now Akiko is working fulltime and likes her job. Decided it was better
to invest if we plan to stay in this country for awhile.
About Miyuki. She will no doubt contact me soon for advice. Hopefully she will
end up using your services.
Linda and Alex, wife and child? Tell me more about your kids. Fun for me anytime
to get together and talk about anything related to site design and the Internet.
Anyway, will send you email tonight after we check the house. The 8458 Angila
Drive property. Appreciate it if you could check and make sure there are no
pending offers. Thanks. Talk to you again.

Hi, Howie.
Don't worry about Miyuki - it can be tough to switch. No one needs and extra
pressure when buying a home.
It makes good sense to live in something for two years and then sell. You would
be able to sell both the condo and thr new house on the Owner Occ 2 out of 5
rule tax free capital gains. Is this the condo that was your folks'?
Today, you are looking at 5.75% no points. This is the way to go especially when
selling in 2 years. P&I = $1,167. Other fees? Standard: Processing $350, escrow
depends on the sales price but say around $750, title $375, appraisal $375,
credit $20, Lender fees $850 all together, impounds if you want them, recording
$100, notary $125. That's about it.
Santee is a nice area. It has seen a lot of development in recent years. Are you
going to drive the homes? If we lived closer together I would loan you my lock
box key.
I need to forward your web sites to Linda and Alex. They have good, critical
eyes. Alex's hobby is constructing web sites. She would probaly love to learn
stuff from you. She actually did my site quite a while ago, when she was 13 I
guess.

guessing that they have not gone pending yet. My experience with REO's is that
the process moves very slowly.

Hi. Yup, go ahead and check on those properties. No sense in either one of us
wasting time on properties already sold. Not really worried about property
condition as long as the foundation is structurally sound. Anyway, we are going
fishing at the OB pier on Saturday from early morning until late in the
afternoon. You and anyone you want to bring are welcome to join us. Got plenty
of extra poles. No license is required, there are bathrooms and a nice
restaurant. Even if UR not into fishing, come out and talk real estate with us.
Talk to you again.
Howie.

Hi. I wanted to let you know that my wife Akiko and I will be fishing at the OB
pier this Saturday from early morning until the late afternoon. This would be a
good time to talk about your Japan plans. Incredibly busy recently and this
might be the only chance to meet. Send email when you can.

Hello everyone!
Hisashi, Dave, George, and I met yesterday to determine some new ideas for the
Beer & Sake Festival. Now that we are closer to the event, I would like to
invite all of you from last year to make this year better than ever.
Beer & Sake Festival is on July 16, 2008 from 6pm-9pm.
New things/focus for 2008:
1. Venue: W Hotel San Diego.
Yup, we're taking over three stories. First story is check-in with wrist bands. Second story will be sake and food. Third story is beer.
Tommy & Kyoko: what can we do to make the festival entrance better? Guest lists?
I would love to have your comments and suggestions on tickets.
2. Prices: $40 for members; $50 for non-members of JSSDT.
3. Marketing: Beer & Sake Street Team.
All: I'll have the postcards ready in print by the end of the week and need
people to canvas certain locations to place them; PLUS we'll have the e-mail
ready so you can forward to everyone in the world.
Ray: where would be ideal locales for posters to be placed? How many posters do
you think I should make?
Tommy: do you think you can help with placing postcards at Japanese foodie
places?
Howie: which events are you going to and how many postcards do you need?
George: which groups would be interested in getting postcards?
4. Media: TV, radio, internet, magazines, newspapers.
Mike: any contacts/ideas on media would be awesome!
Tommy: I need a person who is willing to be the organizer of the early press
access. Could you be our lead for that? We would invite media to access the
festival early.
Howie: I think we can do internet marketing better. Question is: how? Also, is
there any ideas on video that we could do? Hmmm....
Where we are right now:
Aya - postcard design, hunting down Benihana or Nobu, Suntory, then media
sponsorships; e-mail design
Hisashi - follow-up with Pacific International Liquor, Hakutsuru Sake, World
Sake Imports (http://www.worldsake.com/).
Dave - setup meet with Harrah's to talk about gift bags; confirm Viejas; setup
meeting with Cal Bank & Trust
George - waiting for postcards!
First marketing kick-off meeting: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 - 6pm at the new Japan
Society Office
4883 Ronson Court, Suite K, San Diego, CA 92111.
Domo arigato! We're on our way to making this event very awesome!

Hi. I am probably not going to need flyers this year but plan to do a lot more
online. Akiko and I produced a few videos and the House of India videos in
particular received really good reviews. Check it out.
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/san-diego-california-events-videos.htm
I could make a promotional video for the festival using photos from the Japan
Society site with your permission. The video would be uploaded to YouTube which
you could then embed in the Japan Society site or wherever you want.
Need to know the number of tickets required for a sell out and the demographics.
Tell me what type of crowd you want this year. That should do it for now.
Anyone involved in planning the festival this year is welcome to contact me
anytime. Talk to you soon. Until then.

Hi. I want you to ask Gloria about the following, concerning your benefits
package.
1. The main benefits:
* We are not interested in Kaiser.
* It seems like there are only two choices for Blue Shield, the HMO and the PPO.
For the HMO, there is only one choice, but for the PPO, three categories are
listed. The question is, if we pick the PPO, can we use any of those choices. In
other words, can we go to our own physician, who may not be a preferred
provider, or can we also choose to go to someone who is a preferred provider in
the PPO plan.
2. Preexisting conditions, this was a bit difficult to understand.
* Find out if preexisting means:
a. a condition existed up to 6 months before the benefits took effect which you
are unaware of or,
b. a condition existed up to 6 months before the benefits took effect which you
were checked for, and are aware of.
3. Life Insurance.
* It seems like you need to sign the form if you decline this coverage. It does
seem there is a group insurance plan, which is already a checked item on the
form. Find out more about this. If you are covered already in a company plan,
make sure the beneficiary form is filled out.
4. Disability.
* There was a lot of paperwork on this topic. It seems like Aflac is providing
this coverage. Find out if there is already disability coverage provided through
California.
I am going to be online the entire day if you need to ask me any questions. See
you tonight.

Hi. We can go PPO Plan. Preexisting is no problem. And life insurance and
Disability is no problem too. Government is covered. But still we need a few
information until next Monday. 1>Your friend name and his provider number. Name
of primary care physician: Provider number: If you can ask today, it would be
good. 2> we need pick dental. This is we can do together. 3>401K plan, we need
change few things. If we pick “retirement goal”, we need 100% for this. We can
do together this too. Anyway, Thank you do this for me. I love you. Akiko. (from
work) Akiko.

Hi.
The name is Edward Brantz.
The telephone number is 858-273-6021.
I would prefer the company calls directly to get the information, this way there
would be no mistakes. They know exactly what to ask for. Please ask them to do
this for you.
Pretty sure we already picked the dental. It was the plan which covers
everything and no need to pay based on the amount you spend.
It sounds like the 401K can be decided on Monday.
I made BBQ dinner for tonight. Terriyaki chicken and already marinating. Drink
wine of course. Working outside on the patio now. Really nice but getting warm.
Everything ready for fishing this weekend.
Anyway, Gonna stay online. I want you to send email again when everything is
done for today. I love you. Talk again. (to work) Howie.

Hi. I am getting very involved in politics this year. You should do this stuff
with me. Good way to get contacts and when you graduate, you can get a nice job.
You know that you should listen to my advice anytime. Check out this page. These
are supposedly “educated” students from UCSD. Freaking republicans. Look what
they promote. This should really piss you off.

Anyway, this Monday will be the only free day for me for the next two weeks
unless you meet for fishing this weekend or at an event. Can meet for walking
and lunch. Gonna need a favor from you beginning next Tuesday and can talk more
about it when we meet. It is related to politics. Anyway, send email when you

Hi everyone. This summer is already looking to be pretty busy. This is what’s
coming up. Akiko and I plan to be at these events.
5/17/08 – Fishing at the OB pier this weekend. Gonna be freaking hot. Get away
from the scalding temperatures and enjoy a day of fishing. We will be in our
usual spot, in front of the cafe on the pier, catching tons of fish. Look for us
with our stupid hats from walmart. We might go on Sunday too.
5/25/08 – The 26th Annual Ethnic Food Fair in Balboa Park. Food from all over
the world and pretty cheap too. About 5 bucks for a plate. There is also
entertainment. About 10,000 people expected. Come early. Check the link for more
info.
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/events-may-25.htm
6/1/08 – Cultural Entertainment in the Park Israel. This is one of the countries
represented at the lawn programs in the back of Balboa Park. Check the link for
more info.
http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/events-june-1.htm
7/16/08 – Yup, we were placed on the marketing committee again this year for the
Japan Society Beer and Sake festival. The event is from 6-9 pm at the W Hotel
Downtown. They rented all three floors. We went every year and no doubt this
will be the best ever. More info.

Hi, Howie.
Those all sound like fun events. This weekend I am swamped with paperwork. I
will mention to Linda about next Sunday at Balboa Park. That sounds like a nice
family event. I am going to call the agent again about those two properties.
Sorry about not following up on that. She never called back. typical REO agent -
they are pretty busy right now, but I called her T.C. who should have called
back. If you want to look at any properties, we could go tomorrow morning.

could not go to see the properties. You seem really busy and I do not want to
take your time until we know the property listings are still active. I was busy
like you several years ago with my appraisal company. I was literally putting in
16 hour days the entire week. I know it must be difficult for you to find time
to show many listings to different clients. Anyway, let me know about those
properties when you get a call back from the agent. Please let me know of any
cheap SFR’s which go on the market in 92119, 92120, 91941, 91942, 92071 areas.
