WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

haircuts can be seen from the parking lot with its great Lollipop logo on the sign.

Haircuts for the Young

As I entered the front door, I felt like a kid again. The bright bold colors and reception area, filled with fun stuff to do,v is a great way to welcome the youngest client for their first haircut. I was greeted by one of the stylists with a great big smile and cordial hello. I told her I was researching the place for a friend and was really impressed with the dĂŠcor.

The place was full and every one of the kids was having a great time. I highly recommend that you visit in person or go to the website to check out these neat styling chairs that look like cars at www. lollipophaircutshop.com. I would have loved this place as a kid.

Here it is the second week of April and the Easter bunny managed to leave eggs outside on a glorious sunshiny Sunday and Bubby Watson scored the green jacket at the Masters. The farmlands are popping up the first sight of our famous corn and the cherry blossoms have almost disappeared. With spring break almost over, it is a great time to get ready for warmer weather and family get-togethers.

That being said, there is nothing better than a great haircut to get you started.

On assignment, I am off to visit one of East County’s finest hair cut establishments for the younger generation. Remembering my youth, I always dreaded that day because it seemed like they just chopped it off and it was always too short. Lollipop Haircut Shop is the greatest idea, well, since the lollipop itself. Located on Lone Tree Way a couple of doors down from the Goodwill Store, this wonderland for

So, Carolyn, Clara & Adela, owners of Lollipop Haircut Shop, this secret shopper gives you, ten cherry flavored (those are the red ones and my favorite) lollipops for bringing this delightful business to our county and taking such wonderful care of our kids. Your staff and your salon are absolutely wonderful and highly regarded by all who patronize you. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

Lollipop Haircut Shop is located at 6271 Lone Tree Way in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-240-1337 or visit them at www.lollipophaircutshop.com.

They also have a variety of professional products and a line just for kids. How

SHOP

606 W. 2nd Street s Antioch Stations Available

Although it appears to be just for kids, these gals also do adult haircuts. Now that is a great plus! You can bring your kids for an enjoyable experience and get your hair done at the same time. And if you’re good, you too can get a lollipop.

I think the best part of Lollipops is the cleanliness. Everything is bright and cheery and immaculate. The styling stations are so cute with four different car designs to choose from. The kids that were there getting haircuts ALL had smiles on their faces and were enjoying the experience. They have a Baby’s 1st Haircut Package where you receive a certificate, photo and lock of hair for memories that last forever and every customer gets a free lollipop. BRILLIANT!

BP[^] C TPii (!$ &$# "

cool is that? You can either walk in or make an appointment and they are open Monday through Saturday and three Sundays a month. They open at 10 am weekdays and 9 am on Saturday. They also do buzz cuts, bangs and hair wash.

Imagine being able to watch television in a miniature race car and get your haircut from a really nice lady. Then get a lollipop too!

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

expense side; include annual mortgage payments and operating expenses such as, insurance, utilities, possible repairs and maintenance and landscaping. Subtract total expenses from total income and what’s left is called cash flow. If income is more than expenses, it is positive cash flow. If expenses are more than income, this produces negative cash flow.

Generally positive cash flow is the most desirable; however future appreciation should also be considered.

It’s A Great Time To Buy A Rental Property However, before you make the leap into the world of investment real estate there are a few factors that you will need to know to prepare yourself: First and foremost “Do the math”. Once you have found the property, but before you buy, sit down and make a list of expenses and pencil out whether the rents will cover your expenses and leave a profit. To determine how much yearly rental income you are likely to receive, ask a local Realtor for the going rates, scan the classifieds and check online sources. Don’t forget to make sure you are comparing like for like properties, compare neighborhood, location, and square footage. When calculating the income, don’t forget to allow for vacancies and potential repairs. A good rule of thumb is to count ten months of rent for income and save two months for vacancy and repairs. Next, work out the

Choose tenants carefully. Whether you act as your own landlord or hire a property manager, it is important to follow a few basic steps. First, get a written application. Next, run a credit report showing all three major credit reporting agencies or opt for a more extensive service which cross references several databases. Check references and past landlords. Verify employment; the easiest way to do this is by asking for current check stubs. Make sure the lease will lay out rules about pets, smoking, rent due dates including any grace period and potential reasonable late fees. And above all, do not expose yourself to any violations of the federal fair housing laws which include but are not limited to race, color, religion, nationality, sex and familial status. In

addition, your state or local municipality may have added others to the list, such as age and sexual orientation, so make sure to check with your local housing agency for a complete list.

Distance yourself; one of the most common problems with becoming a landlord is maintaining a personal attachment to the property. Whether you are converting your current residence or buying a new property, it is important to remember that this is now a business transaction and treat it as such. If a renter fails to pay rent or damages the property, do not take it personally; it is not directed at you as an individual. By the same token, if a tenant is unable to pay, you can’t succumb to excuses or a hard luck story; this is your investment business.

Therefore, IT IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY A RENTAL PROPERTY, with some rental properties returning over 12% net annually. Call or email today and get started building wealth.

Who’s Who... in East County

In the late 80’s, Jeff Mcthorn, owner of Delta Watercraft worked at a Personal Water Craft (PWC) repair shop and that experience plus his love of water and riding PWC inspired him to open his own business in 1998. One of Jeff’s favorite things to do with friends and family is being on the water and he feels very lucky to have been able to turn his hobby into his work.

At Delta Watercraft, Jeff is very experienced and has all the tools and diagnostic equipment to complete any type of repair. In addition, he offers excellent service and quality work at a fraction of other’s prices. Jeff says that many customers come to him after paying almost double at other places for the same work, only to find out they have been over charged.

They offer factory scheduled service and maintenance, engine and supercharger rebuilding, jet pump and driveline repair and performance modifications. They also have Waverunner and boats for rent. It is Jeff’s goal for all customers to leave understanding what work was done and knowing they got a top quality job at a fair price. So, give Delta Watercraft a call - you’ll be glad you did!
