The News – Ocean Hills Monthly Newsletter

Ocean Hills Country Club has decided after 25 years to change the name of the “Ocean Hills Country Club Newsletter” to “The News.”

Major changes to the Ocean Hills Country Club Newsletter. Ocean Hill’s changes Newsletter.

They have also decided that it would be a great idea to put all the ads in the rear of the newsletter.  Imagine that from the perspective of all the people who advertise in and financially pay for “The News.”  For example, I have supported the newsletter for years by paying for an ad on page 3.  Now the earliest place that I could advertise would be page 38.  Very distressing!   How many people would watch commercials on television if all were put in one lump at the end of each program.  No one!  Time will tell how well this new change works.

The mission of “The News” remains the same: to provide the residents of Ocean Hills with information concerning Ocean Hills Country Club and committee activities, Board decisions and other matters of community interest.  The News will strive to do that accurately and responsibly.

The News has also been reorganized into specific sections that are easily identifiable.  These sections are “Master Minutes,” “Association News,” “Rec. Happenings,” “Clubs and Classes,” and “Services.”  This new design claims to be created to give residents a more reader friendly, visually interesting, and easier to use publications.  But, some could argue that distributing ads throughout the publication provides readers with useful and helpful information that they will now miss with ads placed under “Services,” and conveniently hidden in the back.

What does Notarized Actually Mean?

Notarized Documents

When you get a document that has been notarized, what does it actually mean?  It only means that the notary completing the certificate verifies only the identity of the individual who signed.  They do not verify the validity of the document to which it is attached.

When buying Ocean Hills real estate, you need an expert to help  you navigate the maze of complex documents.  Gary Harmon is a Seniors Real Estate Specialist and will use his 25 years of experience to make sure every step of your transaction is done in the right way.

 

Reverse Mortgage Down Payment Required

If you are considering buying an Ocean Hills home using a reverse mortgage, you may want to know how much down-payment is required.  The answer isn’t always simple and depends on your age or the age of your spouse, whichever is younger.  See table below.

Approximate down payment based on age.

HEMC Reverse Mortgage Chart

HECM for purchase financing can make it easier and more affordable for Ocean Hills Country Club buyers 62 and older.  They can buy an Ocean Hills home that better fits their lifestyle, without ever having to make a monthly mortgage payment.  The chart above shows hypothetical  examples of the down payment required with this type of mortgage option.

If you have ever considered a reverse mortgage, I have several different lenders that I could refer to you that are knowledgeable in the area.
