Did you know one of Riverside's most iconic bridges was designed by the same architect who designed the Mission Inn?

The Buena Vista Bridge is more than just a crossing—it's the historic gateway to Mount Rubidoux.

Built as part of Frank Miller's vision to transform Mount Rubidoux into a destination for visitors from around the world, the original bridge was completed in 1907 using stone carved directly from the mountain itself. As Riverside grew, the bridge was rebuilt in 1932 and still stands today as Riverside Cultural Heritage Landmark #74.

Next time you visit Mount Rubidoux, take a moment to appreciate the history beneath your feet. Some of Riverside's greatest stories aren't found in museums—they're hidden in plain sight.

Most home buyers negotiate the price. The smartest buyers negotiate their monthly payment.

In this video, I show a real example of how a 1% seller-paid interest rate buydown on a $700,000 home could save about $367 per month, while a $20,000 price reduction may only save around $130 per month.

If you're buying a home, this strategy could save you thousands of dollars during your first few years of ownership.

Paco Perspective

This week I had my first colonoscopy, and while everything turned out fine, it reminded me of something I've been thinking about a lot lately...

As I've gotten older, I've started observing life differently. For years, I chased the next deal, the next goal, and the next paycheck. But I've come to realize that money comes and goes. Your health doesn't.

We spend so much time trying to build wealth that we often forget to protect the one thing that allows us to enjoy it.

If you've been putting off that check-up, waiting to take better care of yourself, or telling yourself you'll do it "when life slows down," maybe this is your reminder.

Your greatest investment isn't your home, your business, or your bank account.

It's your health.

I'd love to hear your perspective. Has getting older changed what you value most?

And I am a Realtor who is loving the change. Let me explain

I have seen thousands of streets but nothing like this one

and nothing seems to be changing that anytime soon....

Be careful cause they might not be as cheap as you think...
