The Children’s Splash Pad at Rancho Simi Community Park (AKA Lemon Park) is a great and a Free Activity to do with the kids. There is still time left this week as the Park district turns off the water after Labor day so get over there and check it out.

The Children’s Splash Zone is located at 3700 Avenida Simi, Simi Valley CAlifornia 93063. West of Tapo Canyon Road. If you are on Cochran, go north on Lemon and West on Avenida Simi.

Answer by Ted Mackel: Contraclaustro13, Great Question, this requires a pretty detailed answer. I created a Video Screencast with the California Short Sale Addendum for you. It may answer some of your questions. Link to video answer: http://bit.ly/aDrVop If the agent used the Short Sale Addendum (and they should have), then if the box under B.2 was checked t […]
