Spring 2017 Real Estate Q&A

Q: What should I watch out for when making an offer on a tenant occupied property?

A: I assume that you intend to take title to the house with the tenant still in possession of the premises, in which case you would become the tenant’s landlord. If this is the case then, in addition to all of the normal inspections that a buyer makes to determine the condition of the property, you must also determine the condition of the tenancy. First of all you should have made your offer using a standard form residential income property purchase agreement or a regular residential purchase agreement with a “Tenant in Possession” addendum (most agents will have access to these documents through the California Association of Realtors). Both documents require the seller, among other things, to provide the buyer with copies of all current leases, rental agreements, service contracts and other agreements regarding operation of the property. You should also receive an estoppel certifi cate signed by the tenant confirming the terms of the tenancy and affi rming that no defaults or claims are outstanding against the Seller. Further, provisions must be made for transfer of any existing, unused security deposit from seller to buyer because the buyer, as owner, will be responsible to the tenant for return of the security deposit to the tenant at the end of the tenancy, minus any allowable deductions. There should also be some sort of prohibition on the seller making changes to the terms of the tenancy prior to close of escrow.

 

Q: We are looking to purchase a home in the $500,000 range and are very qualified; however, we have only saved approximately $25,000 for a down payment. What are our loan options?

A: Assuming that you have good credit and acceptable debt to income ratios, there are several options available to you. The first option would be to utilize FHA financing, which only requires a 3.5% down payment. The second option would be to get a 5% gift from a family member and combine it with your 5% savings and utilize a 90% conventional loan. A third option would be to borrow 5% from an eligible 401K plan and combine the monies with your savings for a 10% down payment and 90% conventional loan. Lastly, if either you or your spouse is a qualified veteran, your required down payment would only be $10,000 on a $500,000 purchase price.

Q: I have made numerous offers and been beaten out each time by other buyers. Do you have any tips for getting my offer accepted in a multiple offer situation?

A: The real estate market in Napa County is very active right now with a low inventory of homes and a lot of interested buyers who are feeling better about the economy and their jobs. The upshot is multiple offers and homes selling at or above their asking price in many cases. The tactics that you should employ to position yourself for success in this type of market depend mostly on the specifics of the particular property that you want to offer on and they should be something that you develop in close consultation with your agent. For example, your agent will probably suggest different tactics for an offer to a traditional, non-distressed seller than he or she would if you were offering on a short sale or a bank owned repossession.

There are some general suggestions that I can make without knowing your situation. First is understanding the market for the home you are targeting so that you can offer a realistic price. Ask your real estate agent to provide you with MLS data that shows the most recent trend in price appreciation as opposed to relying solely on comparable sales. The market is moving fast and comparable sales are in many cases not indicative of current values. Second you should anticipate that at least some of the offers that you will be competing with will be “all-cash” with no loan contingency. Aside from offering a good price, the best way to compete with all-cash offers is to go through the underwriting process to be approved for a loan subject only to review of title and appraisal. Pre approval on your loan takes time and there are some roadblocks depending on the type of loan you seek, but doing so will make you look like a serious buyer and enable you to offer a shorter close of escrow period to the seller.

 

Q: I negotiated a 3% closing cost credit from the seller and want to know what closing costs can be covered by the credit?

A: A closing cost can be used for all recurring (interest, taxes and insurance) and nonrecurring (i.e: appraisal, title and escrow) closing costs associated with the purchase of your property. If the actual closing costs are less than the seller credit, the subject credit will be reduced to the amount of the true closing cost.

Silverado Property Owners

Every residential parcel within the defined Silverado Community has a potential membership appurtenant to it.  At the time of purchase you will be required to pay the prevailing fee, either an Initiation Fee or a Transfer Fee.  A Transfer Fee is paid when membership has been maintained in a transferrable status by the seller.  A new buyer has 30 days from close of escrow to pay the Transfer Fee which maintains the viability of the appurtenant membership. If that fee is not paid, the transferable membership reverts to its potential and an Initiation Fee is then applicable to the owner wanting to activate membership or to any subsequent buyer.  Once the applicable fee is paid, the owner may activate the membership by submitting an application to the Board of Directors and, upon approval, begin paying dues.*

Initiation Fee: $60,000                                  Transfer Fee: $40,000

* It is not a requirement to activate a membership on a property that has been purchased.  A membership may be kept inactive indefinitely; however, once a membership has been activated, it can no longer be placed on an inactive status except upon special application based on serious impairment of health or death of a spouse.  Payment of a Transfer or Initiation Fee without membership activation does not entitle a property owner to use of the Silverado facilities including golf, tennis and pools.

As an owner of property at Silverado Country Club, there are multiple membership categories that are available for you to choose from.

As a Corporate Member, you will designate one person from the corporation who is associated with the membership. That designee and his/her spouse or registered domestic partner and any children 21 years of age or younger living at home are the membership.  No other person will be entitled to the membership privileges. The designated person may be changed with the approval of the Board.

Non-Property Owners
A legal entity that does not own property within the Silverado Development but would like to purchase a membership at Silverado would purchase a Corporate Invitational membership. This membership is also a single designee membership as described above, with the ability to change the designee with Board approval.

The Initiation Fee, Dues and other associated fees are identical to the Invitational Membership. There is a processing fee of $250 with a change in designation of the membership.

Silverado Country Club Developer Turns 100 Years Old

Ed Westgate celebrated his 100th birthday on May 15 at Silverado Resort, the destination resort that he created in the 1960s.

Westgate was feted by nearly 100 friends and family, surrounded by multicolored balloons floating on the ceiling, pictures dating back decades and newspaper articles on display, with Frank Sinatra playing in the background.

An avid golfer, Westgate was pictured with golfing legend Lee Trevino in 1968.

“If I’m in as good a shape as you are when I get to 100, I’ll be ahead of the game,” said brother-in-law Jack Rydman, who lives in Oakville.

Westgate, who now resides in St. Helena, started as a Stockton farmer and became a businessman who not only developed Silverado, but also built hotels and condos in Hawaii and Samoa.

Westgate’s wife Joan presided over the affair. Her children and grandchildren performed a song, adapting the “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” with words that described Westgate’s life.

Tony Kilgallin, who edited Westgate’s memoirs and interviewed him last month for his TV show on Napa’s Cable Channel 28, described him as the man who “built the first condominiums in California” as well as major leisure-residential projects in Hawaii.

Kilgallin said Westgate’s business career started at a young age. “At 10 years old, he needs some money,” he said. “He sends a story to Ripley’s Believe it or Not and gets $10. Now he’s a capitalist.”

Westgate went to University of the Pacific back when it was called College of the Pacific, then later to Stanford University. He became one of UOP’s major benefactors.

A contingent from UOP attended his birthday celebration.

“We are grateful to have him as a long-time supporter and friend of the university,” said Janet Dial, interim vice president of UOP. “He’s given a lot of support and visited the university.”

Westgate purchased the Silverado property in 1966 for $3 million as part of Westgate Factors. The new owners turned one golf course into two 18-hole championship links, the first courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. who went on to become one of America’s top course designers.

Westgate built the first condos and other recreation amenities that made Silverado a destination resort. Westgate Factors sold Silverado in 1984 for a reported $19.2 million.
