Homeward Bound August - Impactful Real Estate News
Updated: Aug 23
Boy… It’s hot, and not just outside.
You do not have to be a weather person to predict the weather this time of year. We all know… it is the hottest time of the year. But that is not all that’s hot. The economy is red hot too. By all measures the best economy in 20 years or so.
This is GOOD for most reading this, but there will be some exceptions. There always are. An example could be someone will sell a house and make out great, meaning a buyer pays a bit more than they would have not too long ago. And in some areas, the opposite happens. Seller does not make out that great, but the buyer does.
Most homeowners who do NOT have to sell of course know this and will hold back on buying or selling. That will of course impact supply and demand. Results right now? RED HOT opportunities!
How does this impact you? Well, it is a HOT time to invest in real estate. Single family, multi-family, even farmland. If you did not get the memo, here is a special clause from our Buyer and Seller Agreements of our VIP Client Program enabling past clients of ours to create additional wealth thru real estate.
VIP CLIENT PROGRAM: Seller ___ does OR ___ does not wish to participate in Broker's VIP Client Real Estate Investor Program (REIP), whereby Seller will receive notices of free real estate investor trainings and notices of real estate investment opportunities by mail, email or phone at times when investment opportunities arise. Seller may opt out of The REIP at any time. Seller is never obligated to invest in real estate.
So, if you or anyone you know like the idea of making money in real estate using other people’s money, please contact us right away… while these HOT investment opportunities are available.

Meet Siya Gupta
Siya Gupta says the fifth day after her 10th birthday was the scariest day of her life. That’s when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common childhood cancer.
As with every ALL patient, nearly all of the cells in Siya’s bone marrow were cancerous when she was diagnosed. But unlike with most ALL patients, 80% of Siya’s bone marrow cells were still cancerous after treatment. Chemotherapy usually reduces the share of cancer cells in the bone marrow of ALL patients to under 1%.
“I’ve been doing this job for 12 years, and that was the smallest reduction in leukemia cells I have ever seen after a month of chemotherapy,” says Elliot Stieglitz, MD, a pediatric hematologist and oncologist at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. “Historically, less than 10% of patients like Siya who don’t respond to conventional treatments survive.”
Dr. Stieglitz knew he needed to shift gears. He told the family about another option: chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, a revolutionary form of cellular immunotherapy. Unlike chemotherapy, which attacks tissue throughout the body, CAR T-cell therapy genetically alters a patient’s own cells to recognize, target, and destroy only the cancerous cells.
Infusion day came. Doctors talked the family through the procedure one last time. When the infusion began, the room fell silent. Siya recalls, “I remember thinking, ‘It’ll be fine. You’re going to be OK.’ But even though I was assuring myself, I was secretly praying. And I knew everyone else in the room was praying for me too.”
Siya experienced minimal side effects – just a low-grade fever, which meant that her immune system was responding to the treatment. One month later, Dr. Stieglitz and his team repeated the bone marrow analysis. Siya was leukemia- free. She was in remission.
With Siya in remission, Dr. Stieglitz and his team were able to perform a successful bone marrow transplant. Three years later, she is still leukemia free.
