A new study has revealed that California residents spend the most income on housing costs.
Real estate website NewJerseyRealEstateNetwork.com analyzed census data to find the average yearly housing cost in each state as a proportion of median income, to uncover which state costs the most to own a home.
Housing costs included mortgage repayments, various insurances, property taxes, utility bills, fuel bills, mobile home costs, and condominium fees.
California is the state where homeowners spend the largest percentage of their income on housing costs. The average annual cost for a homeowner with a mortgage in California is $24,252, which is 28.84% of the state median income of $84,097.
New York homeowners are the second biggest spenders in terms of housing costs. The average homeowner pays $18,636 per year on housing costs, which is 24.8% of the state median income of $75,157.
New Jersey homeowners are the third biggest spenders when it comes to housing costs. The average cost to the homeowner was $22,200 per year, which is 24.75% of the state median income of $89,703.
Hawaii ranks fourth for states where homeowners are spending the largest proportion of their income on housing costs. The average cost for a homeowner in Hawaii is $21,732 per year, which is 24.69% of the state’s median income of $88,005.
With an average annual cost to the homeowner of $20,460, which is 24.48% of the state median income of $83,572, Connecticut is fifth for the state where homeowners are spending the largest proportion of their income on housing costs.
Massachusetts comes sixth and Rhode Island comes seventh for the state where homeowners are spending the largest proportion of their income on housing costs. Massachusetts homeowners spend 24.18% of the state’s median income on housing costs, while Rhode Island homeowners spend 23.57% on housing costs.
Rounding out the top ten is Oregon in eighth, Washington in ninth, and Nevada in tenth. Homeowners in each of these states spend 22.84%, 22.83%, and 22.51% of their income on housing costs respectively.
West Virginia is the state where it costs the least to be a homeowner, with homeowners spending just $6,996 per year on housing costs, which is only 13.75% of the state’s median income of $50,884.
Table showing the average annual cost to homeowners compared to median household income
“California is known for relatively higher housing costs, yet it is still surprising to see how much higher the costs to the homeowner are in the state compared to the rest of America. The homeowners of the next closest state, New York, spend 15.1% less on average than homeowners in California, when accounting for differences in household income.
It will be particularly interesting to see how the rising cost of living impacts these figures and whether California’s cost to the homeowner continues to remain so high compared to the rest of America.

SACRAMENTO – In the wake of a recent statewide consumer alert on identity theft and rental properties, the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) is once again sounding the alarm. This time, the focus is on an emerging false identity scam targeting vacant land and unencumbered properties. With a surge in real estate fraud involving identity theft, law enforcement agencies and District Attorney’s offices across California are urging more than 434,000 DRE licensees to stay vigilant.
ADVERTISEMENT
The scam entails fraudsters scouring public records to identify properties without mortgages or liens, especially vacant lots, long-term rentals, or vacation homes often owned by vulnerable populations such as the elderly and foreigners.
Posing as the property owners, the criminals contact real estate agents, seeking assistance in selling the properties that they do not actually own. They lure agents with offers to list the properties below market value to generate quick interest, while ensuring no “For Sale” signs are displayed. They prefer cash buyers, demand rapid closing, and evade in-person meetings by relying on email, text, and phone communications, refusing video calls. To add another layer of deceit, they employ their own notary, who provides falsified documents to title companies or closing attorneys, insisting that proceeds be wired directly to them.
Detecting this scheme can be challenging, but real estate agents must exercise due diligence by verifying the property owner’s identity before accepting a listing. To protect themselves and their clients, agents are advised to:
1. Request in-person or virtual meetings with proper government-issued identification.
2. If an in-person meeting is not possible, require the use of a third-party identity verification service.
3. Conduct thorough online searches to verify the owner’s identity, including checking for recent photos and contact information.
4. Send a copy of the electronically signed listing via overnight mail to the property’s address on record, asking for confirmation from the actual owner.
5. Obtain a copy of a voided check with the seller’s disbursement authorization form from the property owner.
6. Use a wire verification service to ensure that wire instructions match the account details provided on the seller’s disbursement authorization form.
ADVERTISEMENT
DRE strongly encourages brokers to establish written policies regarding listings for properties where the licensee and seller have never met in person.
Should any suspicious real estate fraud cases arise, agents are urged to report them to local law enforcement or their District Attorney’s office. If another real estate licensee is potentially involved in the fraud, the information should be provided to DRE through its Enforcement Online Complaint System.
Vigilance and proactive measures can help thwart these scams and protect both real estate professionals and property owners from falling victim to such deceptive practices.

(New Jersey, July 25, 2023) – Stratton Equities, the Leading Nationwide Private Money and NON-QM Mortgage Lender, proudly celebrates its fifth anniversary. Since its launch in 2018, Stratton Equities has experienced significant growth and expanded its operations. The company has successfully established itself as a prominent player in the real estate investment and lending industry under the visionary leadership of its Founder and CEO, Michael Mikhail.
Mikhail encountered numerous challenges on his path to becoming a prominent figure in the industry. Following a five-year journey spanning 19 countries, he returned to the United States in 2017, homeless and without financial resources. However, his unwavering determination to reshape his future propelled him forward as he drew upon his extensive background in mortgage lending from 2003 to 2010. He deliberately leveraged that experience and explored opportunities within the mortgage lending industry. He faced numerous obstacles, including a lack of managerial support, limited program options, a shortage of leads, inadequate training or technology, and unhealthy work culture. This toxic environment was an industry-wide issue, contributing to a high turnover rate and low production among loan officers.
Stratton Equities was born as a response to these challenges. Mikhail’s vision was to overhaul the methods used by the mortgage lending industry by incorporating more programs and generating an influx of organic inbound leads. Mikhail achieved remarkable success, making $1.3 million within six months of launching the company.
ADVERTISEMENT
Due to Mikhail’s unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional service and driving success, Stratton Equities is a leading player in the private money and NON-QM mortgage lending industry. With its customer-first approach, state-of-the-art technology, and extensive expertise, Stratton Equities has expanded its market reach and aims to achieve an impressive target of $1.2 billion in closed loan volume annually, or $100 million monthly.
Reflecting on the milestone, Mikhail commented, “As we celebrate, I am humbled and grateful for the incredible journey we have embarked upon. It has been a testament to our unwavering commitment, relentless dedication, and the trust our clients and partners place in us. This milestone is a celebration of our accomplishments and a reflection of the transformative power of perseverance and innovation in the lending industry. We have expanded our reach, refined our strategies, and surpassed expectations each year. As we look back on our journey, we are energized by the opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we will continue to shape the future of real estate financing and empower dreams. This is only the beginning, and the best is yet to come.”
One of the many successes that Mikhail created for Stratton Equities is the unique programs, lead generation model, and loan portfolio milestones. Mikhail has revolutionized lead generation and digital marketing with his innovative platform at Stratton Equities. Unlike traditional private money lenders relying on loan officers to hunt for leads through cold calls and networking, Mikhail’s system brings leads to the company daily, eliminating manual prospecting. This powerful tool generates an abundance of organic leads, surpassing the strategies of other private money-lending companies and propelling the company’s performance while enabling aggressive hiring.
Moreover, Mikhail’s platform provides loan officers with access to the largest collection of nationwide private money and NON-QM mortgage loan programs. This comprehensive offering allows them to effectively cater to the needs of real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and diverse mortgage borrowers.
Stratton Equities has received recognition within the industry for its exceptional services and expertise, as well as for Mikhail’s success. In 2021, Forbes Magazine included Mikhail in their “The Next 1000” list, celebrating individuals redefining what it means to build and run businesses today. NJBIZ, New Jersey’s leading business journal, also recognized Stratton Equities as one of the Top 250 Privately Held Companies for 2021. They further honored Mikhail as one of their 2022 Leaders in Finance, and he was nominated for the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year program.
Stratton Equities consistently achieves high levels of customer satisfaction. Through its commitment to providing personalized solutions and exceptional customer service, the company has built a strong reputation for its client-centric approach. Many clients have praised Stratton Equities for its outstanding service, professionalism, and ability to secure funding quickly. One client, John S., commended the company for its efficient processing and dedication to finding the best loan options, expressing gratitude for their personalized approach that ensured his unique needs were met. Another client, Sarah L., emphasized the team’s expertise in navigating complex financial situations, stating that Stratton Equities provided her with the guidance and support needed to secure a loan for her real estate investment. These testimonials and many more highlight the company’s commitment to client satisfaction and its track record of delivering outstanding results.
In addition to client testimonials, Stratton Equities has received positive feedback on reputable platforms such as Indeed and Glassdoor. Several employees have shared their experiences working for the company, consistently praising the supportive and collaborative work environment and highlighting the company’s dedication to fostering professional growth and providing ample opportunities for career advancement. Employees also speak highly of the company’s management, describing them as knowledgeable, approachable, and committed to the team’s and clients’ success. This positive employee feedback further supports the notion that Stratton Equities excels in serving its clients and maintains a workplace culture that values and nurtures its employees.
Mikhail’s visionary leadership and persistent commitment have solidified Stratton Equities’ position as a trusted and innovative company with high expertise, cutting-edge technology, and a customer-centric approach.
Michael Mikhail is the Founder and CEO of Stratton Equities, the nation’s leading hard money-lender to national real estate investors, with the largest variety of mortgage loans and programs nationwide.
Having launched Stratton Equities in early 2017, Michael has always been an entrepreneur and innovator in the real estate market, purchasing his first home at 19.
A serial entrepreneur with a foresight for business opportunities, Michael had a slew of small businesses prior to launching Stratton Equities. One of his most prolific ventures was a car wash connected to a gym he was affiliated with in Florida during 2001-2002 while attending college.
It wasn’t until he graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Business, that he officially joined the mortgage industry in 2003 and decided to travel to explore his options globally.
After travelling to 19 countries in 5 years, Michael knew two things; he wanted to start his own business and launch it in the United States. He knew that moving back to the states was the best place he could start something small and grow it into something infinite.
In 2017, Michael noticed how the mortgage industry had transformed after the regulations presented from 2008-2012, and knew it was time to set out something on his own, thus creating Stratton Equities.
Under Michael’s leadership, Stratton Equities has grown into one of the biggest leaders in the Mortgage and Real Estate industry across genres and platforms.

In this exciting and inspiring article, we will reveal the secrets to using your Roth-IRA to harness its remarkable potential for wealth creation.

The Magic of Compound Interest: Roth-IRA offers an incredible opportunity for wealth accumulation through the power of compound interest. With an impressive average growth rate of 14%, your money can double in just four years. By reinvesting your earnings, you unlock the potential for exponential wealth growth over time.

Whether it’s stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets, make informed choices that align with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
Take Advantage of Tax Benefits: One of the key advantages of a Roth-IRA is the tax benefits it offers. Contributions are made with after-tax dollars, meaning you won’t be taxed on withdrawals in the future. This tax-efficient structure allows your investments to grow unhindered, ensuring more substantial returns over time.
Plan for the Long Term: Building wealth with a Roth-IRA requires a long-term perspective. Resist the temptation to make impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations. Stay focused on your financial goals, maintain a diversified portfolio, and be patient. Remember, true wealth is accumulated over time.
Maximize Contributions: To fast-track your journey to multi-millionaire status, aim to contribute the maximum allowable amount to your Roth-IRA each year. By consistently maximizing your contributions, you take full advantage of the growth potential and maximize the tax benefits associated with these accounts.
Seek Professional Guidance: Navigating the complexities of wealth creation requires expertise. Consider consulting with a financial advisor who specializes in retirement planning and Roth-IRAs. They can help you develop a tailored investment strategy, optimize your contributions, and ensure you’re on track to achieve your financial goals.
Embrace Financial Education: Empower yourself with knowledge about personal finance, investment strategies, and retirement planning. Educate yourself through books, podcasts, seminars, and online resources. The more you understand about managing your finances, the better equipped you’ll be to make informed decisions and capitalize on the potential of your Roth-IRA.
Stay Disciplined and Stay the Course: Wealth creation is a journey that requires discipline and perseverance. Stay committed to your long-term financial plan and resist the temptation to deviate from it. Be proactive in monitoring your investments, adjusting your strategy as needed, and staying the course, even during times of market volatility.

Are you considering a merchant cash advance for funding? Do you need financing quickly? Or is your current credit score making it difficult to acquire a traditional loan?
No matter why you are looking into a business cash advance, some tips will help ensure you take out the right advance from the right provider
ADVERTISEMENT
Avoid Running Negatives
If you are considering a merchant cash advance, the lender will look at your current accounts to calculate the right amount. They will look at your current and prior transaction history to do this.
If you have had a lot of situations of bounced checks and insufficient funds, you may not receive the funding you apply for. In most cases, the funding company will require that you may payments daily. If you have a track record of not meeting your financial obligations, getting this type of funding may be impossible. Because of this, you need to make sure you don’t have a lot of instances of negative balances
Maintain a Sufficient Daily Balance
If you want to be approved for an advance, you have to keep your day-to-day balances as high as possible and avoid negative balances in your accounts. Suppose a funding company sees that you have sufficient balances and that you keep these consistently to meet financial obligations. In that case, they are much more likely to provide you with the financing that you requested. It will also help you get a longer-term and lower rate than if you had lower day-to-day balances
A Good Credit Score
Do you have a good credit score? If not, you may find it difficult to get the cash advance you have applied for. A merchant cash advance company is a new creditor, which means they may want to view your past track record of payments, if they were on time, etc. If they find out you have had issues, such as a poor credit history, past defaults, or delinquencies, then you may not get the funding you requested from that provider
ADVERTISEMENT
Acquiring a Merchant Cash Advance
As you can see, there are several things that a merchant cash advance lender will consider when it comes to providing this funding. Be sure to keep the information here in mind, which will give you the best chance possible of getting the funding you need. Being informed will also help you secure this financing to help grow your business.

Moving can be a daunting task, especially for real estate investors who often find themselves juggling multiple properties and deals on a tight schedule. The process of relocating can be stressful, time-consuming, and disruptive to business operations. However, with careful planning and strategic execution, moving can be made much easier, allowing investors to transition smoothly while minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
In this guest post, we will explore some effective strategies for real estate investors on a tight schedule to make their move a seamless and efficient experience.
When it comes to moving, choosing the right moving company is crucial for a smooth and stress-free experience. ThreeMovers.com offers a compelling option for your moving needs. With a team of experienced professionals, they provide efficient and reliable services, ensuring the safe transport of your belongings. Three Movers takes care of all the logistics, from packing to unpacking, so you can focus on other aspects of your move. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a seamless and hassle-free moving experience.
Create a Comprehensive Moving Plan
The first step to ensure a successful move is to develop a detailed moving plan. Start by setting a firm moving date and work backward, creating a timeline with specific tasks and deadlines. Include everything from notifying tenants and clients about the move to arranging for utilities and services at the new location. Having a clear plan in place will help you stay organized and focused throughout the process.
ADVERTISEMENT
Delegate and Outsource
Real estate investors often have a multitude of responsibilities and limited time. To alleviate the burden of moving, delegate tasks to capable team members or consider outsourcing certain aspects of the process. Hire professional movers to handle the logistics of transporting your belongings, enlist the help of a property management company to manage tenant communications, or hire virtual assistants to handle administrative tasks. By delegating and outsourcing, you can free up your time and concentrate on critical business matters.
Pack and Label Efficiently
Packing is a time-consuming process that can become overwhelming without proper organization. Create an efficient packing system by decluttering and sorting your belongings. Separate items into categories, such as furniture, documents, equipment, and personal belongings. Use high-quality packing materials and label each box clearly with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will save you time when unpacking at the new location and help you locate items quickly when needed.
Utilize Technology
Take advantage of technology to streamline your move and manage your real estate business more efficiently. Use property management software to handle tenant communication, lease agreements, and rent collection remotely. Utilize cloud storage services to store important documents and access them from anywhere. Virtual meeting platforms can also be helpful for conducting meetings with clients and contractors during the moving process.
Coordinate with Contractors and Service Providers
If you have ongoing construction or renovation projects, make sure to coordinate with contractors and service providers well in advance. Communicate your moving schedule and discuss any necessary adjustments to project timelines. By proactively managing these relationships, you can ensure a smooth transition and minimize any disruptions to your business operations.

Prioritize Essential Services
One of the key aspects of moving is transferring utilities and services to the new location. Prioritize essential services such as electricity, water, internet, and phone lines. Notify service providers ahead of time about your move and schedule the necessary installations and transfers. This will ensure that your business can resume operations promptly at the new location.
Notify Tenants and Clients
If you own rental properties or have clients who regularly visit your office, it is crucial to notify them well in advance about your move. Send out formal notifications via email or physical mail, and provide clear instructions regarding the relocation. Address any concerns they may have and reassure them of uninterrupted services during the transition. Open lines of communication with tenants and clients, and keep them updated on the progress of the move.
Plan for Downtime
Despite careful planning, it is essential to anticipate some downtime during the moving process. Allocate time for setting up the new space, unpacking, and reorganizing your business operations. Consider scheduling your move during a period of low activity or plan to work remotely during the transition. By acknowledging and planning for downtime, you can minimize its impact on your real estate business.
Take Care of Legal and Administrative Tasks
Moving involves various legal and administrative tasks that should not be overlooked. Update your business address with the appropriate authorities, including government agencies, banks, insurance providers, and clients. Review and revise any contracts or lease agreements that may be affected by the move. Consult with legal professionals to ensure compliance with any regulatory requirements associated with your relocation.
Celebrate the Move
Finally, once you have successfully completed your move, take the time to celebrate this milestone. Recognize and appreciate your team for their efforts in making the transition smooth. Consider hosting a grand opening event at your new location to showcase your commitment to growth and to strengthen relationships with tenants, clients, and business partners.
Final Thoughts
Moving can be a challenging endeavor for real estate investors on a tight schedule. But, with the right planning in place, it can be much easier. By creating a comprehensive moving plan, delegating tasks to capable team members or outsourcing certain aspects, utilizing technology to streamline operations, prioritizing essential services, and effectively communicating with tenants and clients, investors can minimize disruptions and maximize productivity during the move. Careful planning and execution are key to ensuring a smooth transition and allowing investors to continue their real estate endeavors successfully. With these strategies in place, moving can be transformed from a stressful experience into a seamless and efficient process, ultimately benefiting the investor’s business and bottom line.
