Video: 3-2-1 Buydown - Los Angeles Real Estate Reality

This Week’s Topic: Bad Neighbors
Bad neighbors are everywhere, but we have an extreme story this week. The maze and bureaucracy of getting this bad behavior solved has been frustrating. Dialing L.A.'s 311 was only the beginning of a long road. Joe and Darren share their experience.

Last Week’s Topic: 3-2-1- Buydown

There are pros and cons, but this type of mortgage may help some buyers.
