Many families go to the hospice in search of counseling and support. The facility offers many free therapy sessions that focus on death and how it affects someone’s emotional, mental, and spiritual health. These services are also provided in other locations, for those who are unable to come to the center. It has been found that those who attend therapy can recover from grief much faster, Kenny Slaught says. Furthermore, grief therapists are more effective compared to regular counselors.

New intuitive software and mobile applications, says Kenny Slaught, the owner of one of the most successful property management enterprise in Santa Barbara, are giving investors and builders more options for lending and borrowing opportunities across a variety of real estate asset classes and geographies. California’s peer-to-peer lending projects emerged with the adoption of the Jumpstart Our Business Startup (JOBS) Act in 2012, significantly democratizing the ways in which sponsors can raise funds for real estate acquisitions and development. The new act allowed the previously banned practice of advertising, openly soliciting private funding from accredited individuals and firms. Individuals with a net worth of $1,000,000, excluding ownership of their personal residences, or with an annual income of $200,000 or a household with $300,000 if filed jointly with a spouse, can become an accredited investor. The amendments gave allow individual borrowers and lenders to participate in debt and equity financing, where loans generate income in the form of interest, without a sanctioned financial institution involved in the process. The online marketplace has created a new way for property owners and funders to browse investment offerings, perform due diligence, and have access to dashboards which track how assets and financial products are performing.

The Spanish Colonial Revival architecture was the United States architectural movement initiated in the early 20th century. The movement encompassed designing some cities that were primary Spanish colonies, which then became American cities, using the Spanish architectural style. A huge portion of this architectural style can be seen in California. Post an earthquake that occurred in 1925, Santa Barbara espoused this style as its signature line for re-designing the city.  Architect George Washington Smith who moved to Montecito and popularized this movement started this style. The history of El Pueblo Viejo aesthetic control remains genuine to Roman and Parisian laws. It aims to preserve history through the Hispanic architecture. But you may be curious as to what the Hispanic Architecture is all about. This style is outstandingly influenced by the architecture of the “white-washed cities” of Andalusia in Southern Spain. In Santa Barbara, local building techniques are a result of the natural environment and the materials available nearby. Kenny Slaught states that Hispanic architectural features in this area are represented by the “simplicity, rustic economy, excellence in craftsmanship and honest expression of material”. Forms introduced in Santa Barbara convey vernacular handmade quality oriented to the sunlight. Moreover, colors are also related with natural environment, yellow, red, orange and white that remains Santa Barbara’s weather.

The revolutionary dam was built during the American Great Depression between 1931 and 1936, costing the nation $49 million dollars. The dam was initially called Boulder Dam, but was later dubbed Hoover Dam in honor of the then-President Herbert Hoover, who made significant contributions to the construction of this wonderful project. At 221 meters in height, 379 meters in length, and with more than 35.000 cubic kilometers of total capacity, the structure can generate more than 4,2 billion kWh2 per annum, notes Kenny Slaught.

Numerous home-buyers on the West Coast started to notice the price increase for older and less trendy houses. Kenny Slaught explains that since 2008, prices have been gradually increasing. The Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller home price index shows that in April of this year, the costs for Los Angeles properties were highest since October 2007. Southern California’s larger cities overcame recession and started returning to their previous costs. This happened due to a variety of factors, like interest rates, job increases and supply and demand. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgages stay at about 3.5%, and motivating numbers approaching 3.31% are convincing people to make a purchase. The low rates, along with job growth, like a 2.4% increase in Los Angeles County and a 3.5% growth in Orange County, show why the properties’ value also raised. While the costs for buying a home vary based on state, the inflated prices of fashionable homes are higher than in any other state except Hawaii. Because the demand doesn’t match the supply, many people choose apartments, which are easier to buy and more convenient.
