What's Your Passion?
The AT&T Pro-Am is in full swing! What a great time to talk golf. If you share in the passion of golf I'm pretty sure you are already aware of the many world class golf courses in and around the Monterey Coast. Pebble Beach, Spyglass, Monterey Peninsula Country Club, Spanish Bay, Poppy Hills, Cypress and Bayonet and Black Horse are just a few of the gorgeous well known and challenging courses in the area. Prices vary from course to course. Some courses have reciprocal agreements, discount specials and cards. Monterey also has wonderful public courses that are very reasonably priced. Del Monte Golf Course, Monterey Pines and Laguna Seca are fun affordable and often easy to get a tee-time. A fan favorite is Pacific Grove municipal golf course. The front nine offers views of cypress trees, deer and a periodic glimpse of the bay. The back nine offers the challenge of natural sand landscaping and awe-inspiring views of the ocean...truly spectacular. If golf is your passion, you have found your happy place!

Mortgage Highlight
The Fed is expected to hike rates at their March meeting, which is also new Fed Chair Jerome Powell's first press conference. What does this mean for home loan rates? Well contrary to public perception this does not mean that home mortgage rates will immediately rise. In some cases, it actually causes home loan rates to go down. What a Fed hike will do is increase rates on short term money. Home Equity lines of credit, student loans, credit cards, etc. If you have a Home Equity line of credit now or if you're thinking of obtaining one for home improvement, debt consolidation, purchasing of a new home or for any reason, consider utilizing a cash out refi as an alternative to secure in the lowest possible rate and maintain the higher tax benefits allowable under the new tax law. If you would like more information on mortgages let me know and I'll connect you with an excellent mortgage partner.
