Park City, Deer Valley, and Canyons

Thursday, November 17th, 2011 at 4:40pm. 174 Views, 0 Comments.

I am always amazed at each resort here in town.  Deer Valley has won Ski Magazine best ski resort AGAIN, for the 5th time.  Why would ANY skier not have visited here.

Park City spent $7m improving the resort, and hired Brian away from Zoom for on mountain food.

Canyons has acquired 30 acres between itself and Solitude.  They are planning to construct an 8 person gondola connecting the two ski resorts.

The Mountain Trails Foundation has just been awarded the IMBA Gold Award.  We have the worlds best biking/hiking trail system in the world.  This winter, come to Round Valley to experience the trails with x-country skis or snow shoes.

It was recently re-brought to my attention that some folks might not have heard of the Home Affordable Modification for struggling homeowners.  The Fed has made it so you can easily restructure your existing FNMA Freddie Mac primary home loan.  http://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov/

We're number 9!

Number nine on an exclusive list.  An excerpt from the New York Times article on the top 41 places to visit this year (2011).

9. Park City, Utah
Beyond the film festival, a growing group of top-tier resorts.

Many film aficionados have been lured to Park City for the annual Sundance festival, missing the slopes entirely, which is a shame. This year, new hotels, expanded terrain and events at area ski resorts make on-mountain exploration imperative. Last month, at Deer Valley, Montage opened a 220-room Craftsman-style midmountain lodge ; it offers ski-in, ski-out access, gas fireplaces in every room, and a spa.

Other recent openings include the St. Regis Deer Crest, the Waldorf Astoria Park City and the Hyatt Escala Lodge.

Foreign Nationals looking to buy with borrowed money

Sunday, April 25th, 2010 at 11:15pm. 236 Views, 0 Comments.

The first step is to obtain or show evidence of the appropriate visa (see attached). 

Wells Fargo can lend to foreign nationals; albeit, it is a challenge.  First, it is a minimum of 40% down.  Second, there must be a complete credit package including a credit report showing at least 4 lines of credit being paid consistently for a minimum of 12 months.  This can usually be accomplished with bank statements with housing expenses, car payments, credit card payments, etc.  Assets are easy, unless it requires an interpreter.  Income must be documented by a letter from an employer as well as the pay stubs.  Self employed buyers are no longer allowed.  Contact me for a direct contact with a lender in Park City to get you started in buying property here as a…
