Mt. Washington is super hot right now. Median sold price is up 26% over 1 year ago. A lot of flippers are going after properties in this area, because you can still get some relatively cheap properties than need TLC.
Hi Everyone!
It’s that time again. I’m hosting another Home Buyer’s Q + A on April 10th, 6pm. It’s going to be at my house in Echo Park. Bring your partner, friends and join us for cocktails, snacks and a ton of great info!
Highlights
Come hungry — we will have lots of snacks, drinks & cocktails.
Please RSVP via email to pattyhume@kw.com. Space is limited since it is at my house.
+ Feel free to invite friends, but just make sure they RSVP!
XOXO,
Two weeks after escrow closed and framing already going in! We don’t mess around. Let’s get this done.

Natalie Salins (who is awesome by the way…) from Movement Mortgage will join us to answer all your questions regarding pre-qualification and loans. We will cover FHA, conventional, renovation loans, etc. Interest rates, points and all those confusing real estate terms. She will give times on improving your credit score. Natalie is also a wiz at getting people with non-traditional income funded. So if you are a freelancer you will really want to talk with her.
After Natalie talks, I’ll share my process and what to expect from the home buying experience. And we can talk a bit about up and coming neighborhoods in Los Angeles and what is going on with the market overall!
The event is at my house in Echo Park so space is limited.
Please RSVP to pattyhume@kw.com
