Corey Chambers Team raising $25,000 for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
My heart breaks for many young people and families who will not be able to enjoy this fun time of the year outside in the wonderful Southern California Spring air.
As you know, tragedy falls on many in this life. Tragedies like sickness, cancers and other nasty diseases. We aim to do what we can to help kids who are unable to get out and have fun right now due to these evil health problems.
We are still on a mission to raise $25,000 for Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. We do this by donating to them a portion of our income from homes we sell. As you know Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles does great work in helping kids fight through and survive nasty diseases like cancer, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia and others.
Kids under their care are 300% more likely to enter into remission IF they can get into the recovery center. BUT, the Recovery Center survives on Sponsorships and Donations.
So YOUR REFERRALS REALLY DO HELP THE KIDS…
With all my appreciation.

So live work, loft, live, work lofts — That’s what people have been asking about lately for the past few weeks. So that’s what we’re going to talk about. As long as people want to ask for information about live work lofts, we’ll talk about livework lofts. We’ll talk about living. We’ll talk about working, and we will talk about lofting. We’ve been busy this week showing live/work lofts in downtown Los Angeles. We showed some for lease at the Higgins, building, the Bartlett building, and the Cornell building.
We got a request this week from someone who said that his lender told him that they can actually give them a better deal if he buys a loft, if he buys a place zoned for live work, or in a live work zone. So that’s interesting, because I don’t think I’ve heard that before. I’d like to know exactly what his lender said. I might ask him to, for his lenders phone number so I can talk to them myself and find out exactly what they meant. That way I could be sure to get him the right info, and help the lender, because he wants to get a good deal.
It’s usually the other way around — people usually have to pay a tiny bit more for their loft loans in general because they have unusual issues, and they’re listed as industrial and commercial buildings. They have more commercial properties in the building, which lenders usually don’t like. They usually have a bunch of issues that lenders do not like. So it’s usually the opposite of, of that. As far as lenders go, they usually want you to buy a regular house in a regular suburban neighborhood or a condo in a regular suburban neighborhood or regular condo, but everybody’s different. So that’s why it’s just important to know exactly what his lender said and exactly what his lender meant when they said that they want that he could get a better deal. And, if it’s in a live work zone, So we don’t, we need to know the exact words because between what he’s lender says and what he says and what I say, you know, something can get skewed in that process.
The deal with live-work is that people want to be able to live and work in the same place. That’s one of the reasons why some people get a loft rather than a regular house, a regular condo. A lot of people want to be in a place that has presented to clients as a place that’s more professional. That’s more upscale in a way or more stylish, a place where they can get more work done. The open space allows them to work on like large artworks or just handle have clients coming over to be in a, a larger, a more impressive space, a more professional space. — and for a few other reasons:
People want to have clients over without disturbing their neighbors. And a lot of people feel strange if they’re trying to do work in a residential zoned area. Although the fact is that as far as I know, pretty much every house and even condos, you can do work in there. It varies city by city, sometimes neighborhood by neighborhood. But for the most part, you can work at home, but you just cannot do things in general that disturb your neighbor. So if you haven’t neighbors that are disturbed by you having over, you know, one or two clients a day, those neighbors are probably goofy, but if you’re in a, some small town or suburban neighborhood than your neighbors might, or they might know you and they might, they might be, you know, keeping an eye on you. Whereas in LA it’s, it’s kind of the opposite.
Some people do the wrong thing. There, people doing strange things is normal in Los Angeles, that’s kind of what LA is for and San Francisco. People who want to do strange things, more creative, more unusual setting like New York city. So in these big cities centers of creativity, you would expect people to be doing strange thing has been living and working and working at home or living at work would be, would not stand out as something unusual in these neighborhoods. But nevertheless, people want to feel even more comfortable and have feel like what they’re doing is know sanctioned by the law that is acceptable and expected, and they want to feel comfortable where they are living and they want to feel comfortable where they’re working. So live work allows people to feel comfortable living and working in, in that space and in that building and in that neighborhood.
I have lived and worked in the same place for a big chunk of my life. I have worked at home and a lot of different places. And I have also at work in a lot of places, including to I’ve lived in an office temporarily when I was a teenager, right after high school, before I went in the air force. That was only for about a month or shoe. When I got out of the air force, I lived in my sign shop, created a sign shop with my brother. And I just lived in the work in the sign shop, which was aware an industrial warehouse type of building a modern that building was probably those buildings was probably built in the 1970s or eighties, probably seventies. And then, most recently before I moved to Los Angeles, I was doing eBay consignment had a large industrial unit that I was leasing. That was about 1400 square feet. It was pretty cheap. It was only about a dollar, a square foot, like $1,400 once a month. And I built an apartment, a room inside of the warehouse because the warehouse was really pretty big. So there was room enough to build a large bedroom, and still have a large warehouse to work. At one point, we had a lot of stuff in that warehouse. We were selling for people. But fortunately, it did not make enough money. So I was gave me an incentive to change careers too, to do real estate. So real estate is better, especially when you’re in your fifties. You don’t want to really be schlepping people’s furniture and stuff. When you’re in your fifties, it’s a good exercise. But I started to get pretty tired physically from, from that kind of work. And real estate is good cause you walk sometimes not, you don’t have to walk every day, but I walk every day cause we’re walking the dog right now while I’m recording this. So that’s my experience with live work. And that’s what people want and wants you to live and work in the same spot. Or they just want a place that is, has the aesthetic, that industrial aesthetic, and mostly just live in there and enjoy it, enjoy that style. And there’s other people that just want mostly want to work so recent or re helped a repeat customer who had one of the penthouses at Eastern Colombia where they’re living and working, and then he needed more space to, to work.
But they do want to be able to know to be nearby and to, you know, sleep there if, and when they want to. But it’s mostly for, for work. So Eastern Columbia lofts is a very presentable place for doing anything. That’s where you want to be stylish, want to have a stylish and professional presentation for your work. And so that’s where they got a second law, because then they need thousands of square feet to be able to do that, what they do. So, take a look on the LA Loft Blog, I was busy showing properties and also running around because I had lost my keys, lost my fog Meyer, real estate, supra lockbox fobs. Then forgot, and tried to show some properties today that required the super lockbox fog and we were not able to get in. So that was a reminder that I need to get my father immediately. So I drove, I had to pay like 75 bucks for the fog, then drive to Beverly Hills to pick it up from the MLS goodness. They usually have good service MLS. But they should, they, they are, you’re there for the real estate agents they’re created by real estate agents for real estate agents. The MLS is where your listing, if you sell or rent out here, your loft real estate agents, that’s where we list it for other agents to see. And it also feeds out to Zillow and Trulia and all that for the public to see as well.
I should remind people that we have some pocket listings coming up. You want to know, you have exclusive access to our team’s pocket listings. It’s you get some big benefits when you can see a property and know about the property, find out about it before other buyers and renters find out about it. So we have, what is definitely the coolest live work loft, historic mills act loft in downtown Los Angeles, under $500,000. It’s going to be the biggest and coolest live work loft under $500,000. The largest, because it is has two mezzanines that have been added and it has the highest ceilings in the whole building. It has higher ceilings than, than the penthouse. And then it has two mezzanine, little rooms, little upstairs areas added a small office upstairs and then a bedroom added upstairs. So it has basically two bedrooms and a, and an office has a downstairs bedroom and upstairs bedroom And upstairs office. And it’s got a huge windows, Extra, extra large windows and views in a beautiful historic building across the street. That’s takes up a much of the view of a really beautiful building and then a corner, a street corner where you can watch people walking down the street. In the historic core. It’s got exposed brick and it has a dramatic lighting, sort of film lighting, added camera lighting, which is really cool to highlight the brick. It has a sort of a library added up on top with one of those library ladder ladders. That’s cool. It looks good in lofts, especially when you have the big, huge high, extra high ceilings. So it has all that character that other places do not have, and it’s not 700,000 or a million it’s under $500,000. So that’s rare to find a, a loft, this cool under 500,000.
You are one of the first! We haven’t even put this on the blog yet. We just, we might’ve barely mentioned part of it once. So you’re getting more of the whole story right now about getting paid to live in one of the most amazing lofts in downtown Los Angeles or anywhere for that matter. The coolest hippest, most stylish, most awesome, all inspiring creativity, creative juice, inducing lofts in more than 10 years that I’ve been working with lofts. So people like to live in a cool loft. And these are among the coolest:
High Ceilings, super high, extremely high, extra, extra high ceilings — higher ceilings than the penthouses, not as high as the penthouse ceilings — higher! and character, not just character, not a little bit, not a lot, but EXTRA CHARACTER. So, along with super high ceilings, we’ve got the super big walls of exposed original brick with special lighting theatrical stage motion, picture lighting, which this place deserves very appropriate. A bedroom with a door that closes so big open space and a bedroom, a real bedroom with a door that closes. Plus two mezzanines have been added. A bigger bedroom has been added as a mezzanine, the large bed, extra space and hand made wood closets with fantastic, beautiful rich wood clad closets, and a beautiful glass wall, partial wall rail, and metal spiral staircase going up there, washer and dryer in the unit kitchen has been upgraded with white subway tile backsplash covering the whole wall of the kitchen, or at least all the, you know, the wall between the sink and the counter and the cabinets bathroom has been upgraded or has a big deep soaking tub, new marble counter sink and new marble floor tiles in the bathroom. So we got, it’s like having, it’s like a small three bedroom, but with a big open loft. And that was super high ceilings added to it. So wait till you hear the price range, he’s got a whole bunch of other stuff, too many amazing details to even mention huge windows, bigger than huge windows with extra natural light and views downtown Los Angeles, historic core. What’s the price? Sounds like a million bucks or 2 million. It sounds like — but the average loft in downtown is about $500,000 to $600,000, sometimes to $700,000. So you think that this loft is at least going to be above average price? Nope. We’re talking about less, more character, more square footage, a lot more character than the average loft at a lower price than the average lofts lower prices than the average.

Downtown Los Angeles Real Estate Market Report March 2021
REAL ESTATE NEWS | Blog Video
Median urban L.A. home price held steady, but other factors show a strained Downtown property market. March median sold price was $597,500. That’s up just a bit from the same month last year, but the other numbers are not as rosy. Average home price fell down significantly, as homes are taking much longer to sell. Median days on market shot up from 31 last March to 55 days on the market last month. Average days on market was even worse: 80 days. Fewer people attempted to sell, and the total volume of sold homes fell from $44.3 million to just $32.5 million. These figures are from real estate professionals MLS Multiple Listing Service for Downtown and nearby loft neighborhoods 23,42 and 1375. Overall, the numbers indicate pressure for DTLA home prices to fall over the coming months.

Your Referrals Help the Kids
Here Comes the Tax Man. And Here Comes a Tax Break:
TAX Day Delay!! IRS extends tax deadline to May 17, 2021. I recently read where we were working Jan. 1 through June 30th of each year, just to pay all of our taxes. In Canada, add another month or two. After that, you keep all you make. Prior to that, 100% goes to the government in some form or fashion to pay for some kind of government worker, work program, social program, defense, project, health care, common good, common projects, emergency bailouts etc. Whatever you want to call it, April 15th is usually TAX day; the deadline for filing your federal in-come taxes in the U.S.A. But not this year. #coreychambers #realestate #news
So, in celebration of this special time of year, let’s talk TAX relief. If you received last month’s letter from me, you will recall our goal of trying to raise $25,000.00 for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the areas #1 Not for Profit Hospital for Young People. But – we need your help and I believe you can benefit from the TAX relief as well. #chla #referralshelpkids Just down the street from where I am typing this, CHLA has a full house of kids fighting for their lives. For them and their parents’ taxes are not “top of mind”, health is. Living is. Surviving is. As you may have heard, Children’s Hospital is front and center in the fight against nasty diseases that destroy or cut short the lives of Children. Things like Cancer, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Leukemia, as well as leading the way in early diagnosis of autism and miracle working around spinal cord injuries. We are thankful to have such a wonderful facility close by, doing such great work to help heal and save young people. | Blog Video
So even though we are trying to figure out how much we owe the tax man, many are simply hoping they can be here to actually pay taxes. This is why we here at the Corey Chambers Team have resolved to do what we can to help.
For every house we sell this year, we are donating a portion of our income to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Our goal, again, is to raise $25,000 to help them in their quest to Heal, Save, Cure and Comfort Children under their care.This is where we need your help and how you can benefit at the same time…
Charitable contributions are tax deductible to a point. Rather than give your money to the government, you should consider making a donation to a charity. I believe it will somehow come back to you, well beyond a simple tax deduction. A core value at our company is “the size of the hole you give through is directly proportionate to the size of the hole you receive through.” Either way, your referrals are in good hands and help us contribute to a good cause. Life moves fast for some and we are eager to make the Home Selling and Buying experience a smooth rewarding one. Over the last two decades of helping thousands of families sell their home and/or buy another, we have met some wonderful, loving, caring people. People like you! So, your referrals, those you know considering a move, that we help – you can rest assured that not only will they get the award-winning service we are known for, but that a solid portion of the income we receive from the transaction will go toward a very worthy cause. It’s easy to refer those you know considering buying or selling a home. Here are the options again: 1. You can go to www.ReferralsHelpKids.com and enter their contact info on line or forward the link to who you know considering a move. 2. Of course you can always call me direct as well at 213-880-9910.
Why I support Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
I grew up right here in the Greater Los Angeles Area, born in Los Angeles County at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working healthcare professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles Area California native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallys around our annual goal or raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares similar commitment to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.
Sincerely,
P.S. The story of this young person enclosed may cause you to look at your loved ones differently. It did me. Check it out.

A Pair of Daring Heart Procedures Save Preemie Alex’s Life
Combining expertise with ingenuity, a team of cardiovascular specialists fixes a rare birth defect in a premature baby.
Noa stood at the starting line, slightly crouched down, right foot in front of the left. He was so nervous, he was shaking. — By Jeff Weinstock
Sarah Badran, MD, knows her audience. “Let me know if I lose you, all right?” she says.
An interventional cardiologist at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Dr. Badran starts into a plainspoken description of blood circulation that she keeps for the layperson, whether an anxious parent or an easily baffled writer.
She calls on it here to illustrate the birth defect that led her to perform a virtually unprecedented cardiac catheterization procedure on tiny Alex, born Oct. 26, 2020, at 26 weeks with his lungs unattached to his heart, creating a disrupted blood flow that threatened his life.
She begins with a familiar association to explain how one’s blood moves oxygen from the lungs out to the body: “The blood is like an Uber driver,” Dr. Badran says. By the time she finishes, Alex’s disorder is understood and ready for retelling.
In normal circulation, the lungs load the blood with oxygen and send it through the pulmonary veins to the heart’s left atrium, and then out to the body’s organs through the aorta. Then depleted of oxygen, the blood returns to the right side of the heart before getting pumped back into the lungs, and the whole circuit repeats. Before birth, this exchange is formed anatomically, as the pulmonary veins become anchored to the back of the left side of the heart.
In rare instances—1 in 10,000 births—that attachment doesn’t develop. The pulmonary veins “just get lost,” Dr. Badran says, draining the blood out elsewhere within the body and leaving it without any road back to the heart, a birth defect called total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR).
“What generally happens is, you have a beautiful little baby, they’re born, and then they turn completely blue. That’s usually a big, big emergency.”
To the liver and back
The condition is not easy to see on a prenatal scan because fetal circulation doesn’t involve the still-developing lungs, but instead draws oxygen from the mother’s placenta, so blood flow tends to appear fine.
Alex’s abnormality wasn’t discovered until a week after he was born, when his breath began to grow short. An echocardiogram revealed he had TAPVR and that his pulmonary veins were depositing blood into his liver. The diagnosis got him transferred to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Alex’s blood, however, was managing to return to his heart through a blood vessel located in the liver called the ductus venosus. The same vessel is employed in utero, though that’s by nature’s design, as it passes oxygenated blood to the heart after receiving it from the umbilical vein, which extends out of the placenta. Shortly after birth, that ductus venosus typically closes off and a new breathing apparatus, led by the lungs, takes over.
The irregularities caused by prematurity may have saved Alex, as his ductus stayed partially open, allowing blood to stream through it and reach his heart. Once there, the blood would pass from the right to left chamber through a hole called the patent foramen ovale, and then, freshly oxygenated, flow out to the body.
“It was a wackadoodle circulation,” Dr. Badran says, “but that’s how he was staying alive.”
The one chance to save him
That passage through the ductus venosus, however, was on its way to sealing shut, so some intervention had to be made. Dr. Badran and her colleague in CHLA’s Heart Institute, Neil Patel, MD, discussed next steps with cardiothoracic surgeon John Cleveland, MD, who would do the open-heart surgery that Alex needed to fix his congenital defect. They agreed that the operation was too risky for a baby so unstable.
The safer option was to wait until Alex developed more, as close to full term as they could get him, before Dr. Cleveland would operate. In the interim, the plan was for Dr. Badran and Dr. Patel to put a stent into the ductus venosus to keep it open so it would continue to convey blood to Alex’s heart.
That decision meant Dr. Badran and Dr. Patel were faced with trying something that, according to Dr. Cleveland, had only been done a handful of times worldwide, and never at Children’s Hospital: stenting a ductus venosus in a premature baby. The procedure is so unusual because TAPVR, as uncommon as it is across all births, is hardly ever reported in preemies.
Dr. Badran and Dr. Patel were unfazed. They were confident they could apply fundamental techniques and their accumulated expertise to an entirely new predicament.
“The thing about pediatric interventional cardiology is that it’s always like that,” Dr. Badran says. “Everything is so rare we’re always kind of engineering our way through these types of situations. I know everything I need to know about premature babies, and I teach embryology in med school. I know everything there is to know about the ductus venosus system, blood flow, and what the vessels are like, how they’re shaped, and why they close and why they open.
“The only chance to save Alex was to try to stent this open, which would not be fixing the problem. It would just basically be making it like he hadn’t been born yet.”
The day after the determination was made to try to install a stent, Alex’s blood pressure and oxygen levels began to fall, signs the ductus venosus was closing. The doctors were compelled to move Alex, only 17 days old, into the catheterization lab. Dr. Badran recounts the delicacy of the procedure—and exults over its success.
“To take this tiny little person,” she says, “and put an IV in his neck vein and try to find this threadlike thing, thinner than a wire—we almost couldn’t find it—then stretch it with a balloon and put a stent in—it was a technical tour de force. It worked, and it stabilized him.”
Restoring the anatomy
He was stabilized but not safe, and would spend the next several weeks watched by neonatologist Jennifer Shepherd, MD, in the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation Newborn and Infant Critical Care Unit. “When I heard we were getting a baby who was 26 weeks with obstructed infradiaphragmatic TAPVR,” she says, “my first thought was, how are we going to keep him alive? It just was unheard of.”
As they worked to maintain Alex’s circulation until he reached an age and a weight suitable for surgery, Dr. Shepherd and her team had to respond to any unfavorable movement in his oxygen levels or blood tests. “We had a very low threshold to get echocardiograms to make sure that stent was still open.”
Alex made it to 37 weeks in gestational age, but not without needing more time in the cath lab to keep the stented area from closing. At 37 weeks, imaging showed the ductus venosus was again narrowing, so on Jan. 5, Dr. Cleveland brought Alex to the operating room to establish a connection between his lungs and heart. Though Dr. Cleveland had done the procedure often, Alex’s size—still only 4 pounds—added to the risk.
“Repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous return is a routine operation; we probably see six or seven cases a year,” he says. “There’s just less room for error when children are that small.”
With Alex on the bypass machine and his body cooled to about 65 degrees Fahrenheit, Dr. Cleveland removed his heart from his chest and began the repair. He tied off what he calls the “anomalous pathway,” the ductus venosus that had kept Alex’s blood flowing, then sewed the pulmonary veins to the back of the left atrium, where they should have originally attached. He set Alex’s heart back into his chest, warmed his body up and returned him to intensive care.
“Everything went well,” Dr. Cleveland says. “The goal of the operation was to restore normal anatomy, which we did.”
Follow-up scans have all looked good. With Dr. Patel staying on as Alex’s cardiologist, Dr. Cleveland expects his work has ended. “He’ll get echocardiograms because that’s part of the deal, but this should be the only heart operation he needs for this condition.”
It’s not often that open-heart surgery on a newborn is the postscript, but while it culminated Alex’s heart repair, from all accounts what set it apart was the opening act. Stenting the ductus venosus on a preemie that small was not merely delicate but untried.
“From my review of the literature, nobody else in California had done it,” Dr. Cleveland says. “I think it was a California first.”
While exhilarated by the achievement, Dr. Badran saves her strongest, lengthiest accolades for the efforts of the anesthesiologists and the neonatologists and other support staff, “the village that it took,” she says, to keep Alex intact so she and Dr. Patel could do their work.
“To transport such a tiny baby, that sick, get him safely on the cath lab table without dislodging the breathing tube, and give him the right medications, and the way the nurses and the techs all coordinated, and hospital maintenance heating up the cath lab to 82 degrees to make sure he wouldn’t get cold—they somehow managed to keep him alive while we found that vein.
“We had stented tiny things on lots of babies, getting into small little blood vessels and opening them, but the amount of cooperation and collaboration between all the divisions, it was just a beautiful orchestration of teamwork.”

How to Make Your Own Custom Version Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Create Fork Altcoin
Creating Cryptocurrency, Creating Wealth, Creating The Future
Since the dawn of civilization, man has used various forms of currency in which to represent value and record wealth. Everything from gashes on a stick to sea shells have represented a shared concept of fair trade, leading to the use of gold and paper money. The key to a currency’s success has been consistency and consensus.
We have entered The Information Age with global currency on the forefront of modernization, resulting in the possibility of boundless, unimaginable wealth. The speed of exchange is increasing, even to the nanosecond, as the global demand for instant interconnection of all peoples expands and, with inevitable massive transaction activity, comes a need for a recognized universal currency exchange language, which can be customized for each entity involved and perpetually updated as required. It is said that what lasts is not what resists time but what adapts itself to time by adopting the changes.
According to Coin Market Cap, currently, there are currently over 1,400 cryptocurrencies in operation on popular Crypto exchanges. Of all the cryptocurrencies in circulation, there are already more than 40 cryptocurrencies with a Market Cap of over $1 billion.
In 2013, with a diverse background in technology, economics and payment processing, Los Angeles-based Corey Chambers Real Estate Team, in conjunction with Entar, instantly recognized Bitcoin as a new kind of money, the evolving king of cryptocurrencies, as potentially the most world-changing payment and investment technology since the advent of the internet itself.
We have since developed a fast and easy, simplified process of creating new altcoins, your own custom version of bitcoin-based blockchain cryptocurrencies, for literally anyone — individuals, companies, agencies — through YourOwnCoin.com, to order (including priority telephone support) for a private Bitcoin type algorithm of cryptocurrency for any company or anyone, including those with little or no technical knowledge. We worked with teams of technical engineers to develop the innovative Entar Coin blockchain in August of 2020, subsequently applying the results to real estate sells and marketing. To date, more than two million Entar Coins have been mined and more than two-hundred-thousand Entar Coins have been transacted. The Entar Core QT Wallet app gives full functionality on Windows, Mac and Raspberry Pi, and offline paper wallets, more economical and energy-efficient than the original Bitcoin.
Benefits of Creating Your Own Cryptocurrency:
The “flexible money” is created, stored, and secured without being monitored, tracked, or controlled by traditional institutions, banks, companies, or government interference, requiring no third party.
The money programmed to go up in value.
Proven technology to store wealth, which has seen growth in value of more than one million percent.
If your online business involves international transactions, your own cryptocurrency can save hassles and unnecessary expenditures and helps you reach customers irrespective of their geographical location.
Having your own cryptocurrency adds to a brand’s value by giving a much-needed edge over competitors, as customers see a business organization that is futuristic and technologically advanced, enhancing the trust of your customers in your business — with more options in terms of payments.
Whether you need initial funding for a business idea project or start a crowdfunding campaign to support a profit or non-profit project which typically requires a good amount of paperwork, clearances etc. Crypto-currency eliminates hassles here as well.
Keeping track and recording transactions is easy. This adds up to the savings that you would make at the end of the year. The verification, security and authenticity is built in. There’s no doubt cryptocurrencies will soon become mainstream.
The Internet of money — endless opportunities to create new technologies, new marketing methods, new businesses.

Rental Fraud on Craigslist and Apartment Websites
Are these lofts for lease a fraud, or simply difficult to connect with? The Loft Blog investigates.
REAL ESTATE NEWS | Blog Video
After receiving several alarming calls this week from vigilant Loft Blog readers about lofts listed for lease on a leading apartments website, the Loft Blog has conducted our own investigation. Our own verification process says that several “verified” listings are suspected fraudulent because they are listed: at less than market rate price; missing owner/manager/agent name and contact info; failed to provide response from the owner/manager/agent; requesting early application before talking or showing properties; multiple apartments website visitors have contacted our office because they have not received a response from the owner/manager/agent. These are all suspicious circumstances.
The apartments site has some kind of outside listing verification service. But what is their listing verification process? We could not find any details of their so-called “verification”. They claim that they have verified the listings some how, but the well-known apartments website and their listing verification company, which is a known commercial real estate website company, also specify that they cannot guarantee that their sites are 100% free from false or fraudulent listings. When we called them, the apartments site management refused to provide details to the L.A. Loft Blog about their promised listing verification process.
The Loft Blog can and does claim that our listings are free of fraud. Our listings really are verified, and we can actually stand behind them because they are verified by the local licensed real estate agent MLS Multiple Listing Service professionals, in conjunction with the California Association of Realtors(R), and we are actively involved as a fiduciary in many of the transactions.
Sadly, other real estate websites offer no such trust. As with Craigslist and other ad websites, the apartments website has often been used for fraud over the years, and, according to our readers, the apartments site and their verification service still have work to do. In the mean time, it is recommended that Loft Blog readers avoid apartment rental websites that claim to verify listings, yet fail to provide details of their co-called verification. Avoid apartment rental website listings that fail to provide names and contact information of the owner/manager/agent. Avoid apartment rental website listings that encourage application without providing good communication with the owner/manager agent. When little or no communication is offered, the advertised property is usually unavailable at best, and totally fraudulent at worst.
Scams can be found everywhere, but we’ve seen the most rental fraud scams in Craigslist and apartment rental websites. Other red flags to beware of include: Rent price less than the typical market rent; requests to wire money or make other unusual payments; request to use fake escrow company; owner/manager/agent out of town; attempt to rush or pressure renter; won’t meet in person; won’t provide a verifiable voice phone number; ask for application before discussing and showing property.
Upon closer inspection, the two lofts listed for lease on the apartments website may not be fraud in this case, but simply company owned properties, for which the foreign owners are not able provide much in the way of communication. The units appear to be unavailable, as the apartments website is not always accurate or up-to-date. The Loft Blog recommends against prospective renters completing applications unless there is good voice phone communication established with the verified owner, manager or agent. Any suspected scams involving apartments or properties near the Downtown Los Angeles area should be reported to law enforcement. Also report them to the LA Loft Blog anti-fraud team 213-880-9910 stopfraud@laloftblog.com

My Own Bitcoin: How to Create Your Own Cryptocurrency the Easy Way
Build Bitcoin: Create My Own Cryptocurrency on YourOwnCoin.com
The Loft Blog was one of the first to mention real estate and Bitcoin in the same article. Right here, we’ve given suggestions, examples of transactions that have potentially tripled your net worth in a very short time — if you implemented the suggestions. Today, one Bitcoin can be the down payment on an amazing Downtown loft. One BTC can buy a Tesla, or even pick up a small house in some regions. Here are some more amazing things that you do after you make it YOUR OWN COIN! | Blog Video
Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency. It’s a form of electronic cash that uses a ledger of all transactions, stored and distributed as a decentralized blockchain. In addition to money, payment transmission, investment and store of value, Bitcoin can be used for just about anything that needs authentication. Our team is implementing these new technologies to help real estate, along with digital real estate, virtual real estate, real estate NFTs and marketing. To accomplish this, I created my own Bitcoin called Entar Coin, which had to be so simple that even a real estate agent could use it 🙂 Our efforts have developed a system that may be the easiest way for you to create your own cryptocurrency. In this article I’ll show how to create your own Bitcoin, with no need to compile, configure or code blockchain software. It has already been done for you.
Build Bitcoin
You want to create your own Bitcoin. If you’re like me, you’d find it quite tedious and impractical to try to compile source code, install libraries, navigate Linux, configure code, build catalogs, perform regression tests etc. Instead of doing all that, just use an easy short order form to get the quick, easy version that is fully functional, with priority support at www.YourOwnCoin.com

LOL. Thank you for the feedback. I understand that readers are most interested in properties for sale and lease. While we’re not peddling Bitcoin, we are occasionally promoting blockchain-related services that have some connection to real estate. Don’t worry. Bitcoin hackers have not taken over the Loft Blog. Our team is simply interested in new technologies that can potentially help real estate. The connection between Bitcoin and real estate shall get more clear over time because blockchain technology shall eventually be involved in transactions, escrow, title, digital real estate, virtual real estate, real estate NFTs and other aspects of real estate that benefit from authentication and verification technology. Thousands of Loft Blog real estate articles have not gone away, and we will have much more new loft information coming right up. — Corey Chambers

Grand Avenue Project by Frank Gehry Bodes Bright Future for Downtown Los Angeles
Gehry’s greatness has blessed a building and a blog.
A little-known blogger recently called Downtown LA’s newest hotel shopping center mega project a “monolith for a bleak future.” The independent arts journalist said that the immense multi-use high-rise hotel and retail complex has been under development for 16 years, but has yielded “few concrete results”. The blogger got it a bit backwards. While the Frank Gehry designed Grand Avenue Project has been one of the most thoroughly planned and re-planned commercial developments in history, the block-wide sky-high skyscraper has more recently been lauded for its rapid pace of physical construction. Competing mega-projects like OceanWide Plaza have languished in stagnation.
Innovative architect Frank Gehry describes miracles and the future.
The perfect accompaniment to the respectably innovative Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall across the street, new vibrant center of commerce and community in Downtown LA also complements the Broad Museum and other cultural landmarks that are its neighbors. The bearish blogger who panned the project was writing in the depth of virus panic, on the precipice of a dark winter. In contrast, the timing for The Grand Avenue shall end up much better than one might have expected. By the time the hotel and retail complex is fully launched around 2022, the world will have begun to grow weary of lockdown oppression and economic depression, and world travelers, movers and shakers will have a glimmer of hope, enthusiasm and vigor for greatness. Things may start slow once the deconstructivist development opens for business, but that brings an opportunity to gloat in its future of rags-to-riches growth to glory. If today’s bursting anticipation is any gauge, one of the world’s most renowned architects has touched a dream that shall turn to gold. Watch the fast pace of the actual construction, and see that Frank Gehry has delivered a skyrocketing erection to a once-impotent neighborhood. Gehry’s creative magic has charmed the infant giant. Mere mention of The Grand has caused the Loft Blog readership to instantly triple. While the 2020s crash of big city urban downtown neighborhoods may get worse before it gets better, the timeless treasure of Gehry’s prominent project shall stand tall, proud and prosperous.

Frank Gehry Grand Avenue Project
Frank Gehry’s billion dollar Grand Avenue mixed-use megaproject Downtown Los Angeles
REAL ESTATE NEWS
The Grand Downtown Los Angeles
Of the winners and losers bifurcating today’s challenged Downtown L.A., The Grand Avenue Project appears to be in the fast lane to victory. The Loft Blog has reported on stumbling mixed-use mega projects like OceanWide Plaza. In contrast, The Grand Avenue is successfully springing up, full-speed ahead in the cleaner, safer Bunker Hill / Civic Center neighborhood of DTLA. With whimsical architecture of Frank Gehry’s fanciful design, the primary structures have been largely completed. The mixed-use retail complex includes a 39-story residential rental apartment tower and a 20-story hotel. They boast views of the dramatic Disney Concert Hall across the street, and the Center Theatre Group right across the corner.

Free Real Estate, Affordable Lofts and Houses for a Dollar or Less #freerealestate #affordablelofts
REAL ESTATE NEWS
They say “the best things in life are free”. Sometimes, prospective home buyers can get more than they expect for less. As we are in the Greater Depression of the 2020s, here are seven places to find unexpected abode bargains: #onedollarhouse
Selling Houses for $1 – This is not the first time that Youtuber Mr. Beast has given away homes. He’s given away many houses in the past few years. If you need a home, and you’re broke, then feast your eyes on Mr. Beast at https://youtu.be/vJH28ICkCdU
Free Houses in Italy – These homes in Europe have no price tag, but they do have a moderately significant cost.
Free Houses in Japan – Say sayonara to expensive, dangerous big cities, and Kon’nichiwa to free or cheap homes in rural Nippon.
Free Real Estate in Los Angeles – While this option may only be suitable for the very downtrodden, the City of Los Angeles has been permitting homeless, and those who are close to being homeless, to camp out on city sidewalks for extended periods of time, with many anti-camping, anti-vagrancy and anti-littering laws suspended or waived. The city also allows storage of virtually unlimited personal belongings on the sidewalks and streets. While squatting on the dangerous streets of L.A. is not recommended, thousands are taking advantage of this rare prime real estate deal, with tent encampments growing by leaps and bounds. Homeless digs are not all bad — take a look at these homeless tent mansions of Skid Row.
Free Virtual Real Estate – For those who don’t necessarily need to reside at their properties, virtual real estate and digital real estate are new ways to fill the bill, from $0 to hundreds of thousands for properties that do not physically exist. Best of all, blockchain-based digital real estate may rapidly grow in value, with the potential to earn enough cash to buy an amazing Los Angeles loft that you can actually touch and live in. Entar is actually merging blockchain cryptocurrency with real estate and other physical assets. Grow your investment portfolio starting with zero dollars! Start mining some Entar Coin, while it is still virtually free. | MORE
Section 8 – For those needing financial assistance, big brother has the bucks, and can sometimes pitch in quite a bit of dough to make the rent much lighter. Visit HUD.

The Lucky Month
All I can say is WOW! I am sitting here at my computer thinking of how grateful I am for the value so many, like you, bring to my real estate business, looking out my home office window and the skies are blue. Spring is here and we can be thankful of our wonderful Southern California weather. | Blog Video
For many across this great country it’s still freezing COLD and snowy! We in the Greater Los Angeles area never see a snowflake all winter long unless we decide to go on a ski trip. It very well could be super stormy or drought dry today here (but it’s not). One thing is for sure, it’s a lucky month as West L.A. homes sales boom and Downtown prepares to re-open for business. #coreychambers
Just like the weather seasons come and seasons go, so do the seasons of life. I’m sure you have noticed, as I have, the older I get the faster the seasons move by. These “seasons of life” go by so fast, my hope is that you enjoy each one or at least grow from each one. Yes. Some of life’s seasons will be HOT and others will be COLD, some high and some low. The lows we want to move by quickly, the highs we want to stay in forever.
Seasons of Life
Seasons of Life
So, what does this have to do with you or your home or real estate?
Well, spring is a time of action, people busy trying to get things done they could not do during the winter months. Sort of a renewing of the mind, spirit, of many things GOOD! Hopefully this special season will bring awesome happenings your way as your year unfolds. Wouldn’t it be great to simply just grab your favorite book along with your favorite lounge chair, set it right down in your favorite spot somewhere, outside or next to your window, while looking out on a beautiful Spring day and simply ‘RELAX”. Yea, that would be nice. My hope is that you will get to something like that on more than one occasion this Spring. Really enjoy the place you call home! The NEXT season will be here before you know it.
Unfortunately, there are some that will have a Spring Time they would much rather forget. Like it says in the Seasons of Life, with all the beauty this time of year brings, there is also the ugly for some. Just down the street from where I am typing this, Children’s Hosptial Los Angeles has a full house of kids fighting for their lives. For them and their families, the Ground Hog seeing or not seeing its shadow is the furthest thing from their mind. Don’t get me wrong, these families long to see their kids out in the yard playing or riding their bikes – but for now, they are praying this Spring will be a season of healing.
Your Referrals Help the Kids…
As you may have heard, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is front and center in the fight against nasty diseases that destroy or cut short the lives of children. We are thankful to have such a wonderful facility close by, doing such great work to help heal and save young people. Even though we are eager to enjoy Spring, others are simply hoping they can be here to see it. This is why we here at the Corey Chambers Team have resolved to do what we can to help.
As you know Children’s Hospital depends on sponsorships and donations to help in their work to heal and save the kids.

Life moves fast for some and we are eager to make the Home Selling or Home Buying experience a smooth and rewarding one. Over the last 15 years of helping thousands of home buyers, sellers, landlords and renters, we have met some wonderful, loving, caring people. People like you!

Why I Support Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles
I grew up right here in Los Angeles. Born right nearby at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people over come unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles area, California native, I take pride in supporting in any way that I can the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rally’s around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.
Sincerely,

A Preemie’s First Year: 12 Months of Worry
By Jeff Weinstock | A preemie bingo card is not one that any parent wants to have success filling up, but as darkly humorous recreation it served its purpose for Josie. She found it posted on an Instagram account by a fellow parent of a preterm baby and decided to play.
“It was like all the different things that can go wrong with your preemie,” she says.
Once she was done matching the squares to her son Lincoln’s many maladies, there was hardly an empty box left.
“I think we had like five bingos on there. Not everything that can go wrong, but most of it.”
Classified a micropreemie because he was born at 25 weeks—any earlier than 26 weeks earns the designation—and weighing only 2 pounds, Lincoln has faced a string of serious conditions. His need for expert, comprehensive treatment led Josie and her husband, Josey, to transfer Lincoln to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in fall 2019, where he has been receiving care across several divisions, including Neurosurgery, Pulmonology, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Neurology.
“I feel like there’s been 12 months of worry,” Josey says. “I said to my mom early on, ‘I just want the worry to stop.’ And she said, ‘Oh, honey, I’ve been waiting 35 years for that.’”
Fixing the brain’s plumbing
Within hours of Lincoln’s birth on Sept. 5, 2019, the many perils associated with prematurity began to surface. He was found to have an intraventricular hemorrhage—bleeding in and around the brain’s ventricles, which contain the cerebrospinal fluid. The bleed can impede the flow of the fluid, causing a surplus to build up in the ventricles, a condition known as hydrocephalus. That overload of fluid puts pressure on the brain and can harm its development.
CHLA neurosurgeon Peter Chiarelli, MD, says he monitored Lincoln intently but didn’t act straightaway as Lincoln’s system was absorbing almost all the fluid his brain was manufacturing, so the excess took time to collect and show itself. “The presence of hydrocephalus was very subtle,” he says. “It wasn’t apparent until months were allowed to pass.”
At a visit in January, the indicators began to coalesce. An MRI showed that the surplus fluid was mounting, and in five weeks the growth of Lincoln’s head size had begun to accelerate, a sign his skull was trying to accommodate the increased pressure.
Plus, some anecdotal evidence weighed in. The family reported that Lincoln’s eyes would occasionally drift downward, more warning that the brain was under extra pressure. With that, the decision was made to move ahead with a procedure to divert the spinal fluid.
“Even though it was a lot to take in,” Josie says, “we knew the facts were clear. This is what he needs, this is what we’re going to do.”
In June, Dr. Chiarelli placed a drainage system, called a shunt, into the ventricles of the brain to siphon off the excess spinal fluid, which would then be emptied into the abdomen, where it could be reabsorbed. The pressure inside Lincoln’s brain returned to normal.
“Everything else in his body stayed completely in balance,” Dr. Chiarelli says. “It’s basically solving the brain’s plumbing problem.”
The shunt will stay put, continuing to drain excess fluid from the surface of the brain and grow as Lincoln grows. “That same shunt can support him at adult size. He’ll check in with his neurosurgeon once a year to make sure everything’s OK. If everything’s going well, it’s a quick visit.”
A sleep study disappoints
The brain bleed was unfortunately only one of two bleeding episodes Lincoln experienced. A day after his birth, he suffered a rare, frightening pulmonary hemorrhage that caused blood to stream out of his nose and mouth. Doctors were able to arrest the potentially fatal event, but it left a mark.
“We sort of knew it set us up for a longer-term pulmonary journey,” Josie says.
With preemies, intubation usually follows right after birth, to provide sufficient oxygen that their inexperienced lungs can’t deliver. At about a month old, the tube was removed from Lincoln’s airway and he began taking oxygen through a nasal cannula. Once needing it 24 hours a day, Lincoln now wears the cannula only when he sleeps.
His parents hoped that an overnight sleep study done in mid-September would show that Lincoln was able to stay oxygenated while asleep so he could stop wearing the nasal cannula altogether, but with 90 minutes remaining and his oxygen level falling, the cannula had to be reactivated.
“Given his degree of prematurity, it’s not entirely unexpected that he would continue to need oxygen,” Lincoln’s pulmonologist, Mark Selleck, MD, says. “We have children who need oxygen as late as 2 years. It’s disappointing for the parents, but it’s not surprising. He just needs to grow a bit more.”
Dr. Selleck says there will be some lasting impairment from the lungs’ underdevelopment, but it’s unlikely to be significant.
“Will he become an Olympian? Maybe not. Will he be able to play a good game of racquetball? Can he participate in sports and do all the things the rest of us do? Probably.”
A hole in the heart
A blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus caused more trouble for Lincoln. While babies are in the womb and drawing on the mother’s oxygen, the ductus arteriosus carries blood away from the inactive lungs, which are still developing, and sends it straight down to the aorta, optimizing fetal circulation.
After birth, the vessel should naturally seal up. Lincoln’s remained open, creating a doorway between the heart’s two main arteries—the pulmonary artery going out to the lungs and the aorta, which serves the body—where there should not be one, an abnormality called a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Blood meant to go out through the aorta to nourish the body flows into the lungs. Hence the condition’s informal name: a hole in the heart.
In preemies like Lincoln, cardiologist Patrick Sullivan, MD, explains, the ductus is more likely to stay open because, by its timetable, it’s still needed.
“It wasn’t meant to close until later in gestation,” he says. “They’re not supposed to be outside the body of their mom, right?”
The influx of blood forces a newborn’s lungs to work harder while depriving other organs of their portion.
“It places babies at greater risk for brain injuries, kidney injuries,” Dr. Sullivan says. “All of these organs can be compromised by having a ductus siphoning blood away from them.”
Weeks of medication failed to close Lincoln’s PDA, which began gaining in size, so Dr. Sullivan intervened. He had the benefit of a new device called a Piccolo Occluder specifically sized to close PDAs in premature babies. A catheter is entered through the groin and threaded up to the heart. Once at the blood vessel, the doctor releases the device—a plug that gets laid atop the vessel and caps it.
After a year of monitoring, if the plug is still functioning successfully, the issue is considered cured. Eventually, the once-troublemaking blood vessel goes away. “There aren’t really any problems that you anticipate developing after a year,” Dr. Sullivan says.
The post-op cardiology visits have been the least worrisome, Josey says. “They do an EKG and a little ultrasound, and then they say, ‘Yes, looks good.’ Those are our favorite appointments.”
Signs of seizure
In mid-August, Lincoln’s parents noticed he was repeatedly turning his head to the right.
“It seemed like something he couldn’t help,” Josey says. “He brought his hands together like he was trying to console himself, then he would come back to the center and look at me. But he would just keep turning his head to the right.”
That observation was enough for neurologist Andrew Ng, MD, to make a determination.
“A lot of times we don’t have the benefit of seeing the events, so we go off the history,” Dr. Ng says. “Based on the description, it sounded like a seizure. And if it sounds like a seizure, we treat it as a seizure.”
He started Lincoln on anti-seizure medication but had to switch it up a month later when Josey and Josie’s watchfulness led to a second abnormal finding. They saw that Lincoln had begun to let his head droop and was smiling less. Was it simply a negligible change in mood, or a sign something aberrant had occurred?
A six-hour video EEG, which allowed Dr. Ng to observe Lincoln’s behavior, unfortunately proved it was the latter. This time the diagnosis was infantile spasms, an epilepsy syndrome associated with early childhood.
Dr. Ng replaced the medication he had prescribed to deal with Lincoln’s initial seizure with one that he says can handle both.
This need to keep a trained eye on Lincoln’s demeanor can put his parents in a hard position, trying to discern an insignificant gesture from a notable change in behavior. Consider the puzzle they face with drowsiness, which can be an alert for seizures or a malfunctioning shunt.
“You don’t want to always be thinking that, oh, he’s drowsy, therefore there’s some terrible thing happening, because people get drowsy,” Josey says.
“Yeah,” Josie follows up, “maybe he just ate a big breakfast.”
Dr. Ng says it’s something they will become more attuned to as they continue to live with the specter of seizures. “It’s not like the skin, where if you have a cut it heals up. We’re born with all the neurons we’ll ever have. Unfortunately, this is not something the brain can outgrow.”
Prospects and promises
Shortly outside a year since he was brought to CHLA, Lincoln’s care now focuses on his development. He’s working with therapists on his motor skills, speaking and cognitive function, all of which are lagging. It’s unknown how much catching up he can do, and to what extent the effects of prematurity, particularly the initial brain bleed, will obstruct him.
“We don’t know what that might mean for him going forward,” Josie says. “We’re going to keep pushing him toward all the milestones, and we’ll figure out what his prospects are as we go along.”
The only hard cap placed on his potential precludes him from ever becoming an astronaut, a consequence of the shunt. “If that’s his limitation, to stay on Earth, then I suppose it could be worse,” Josie says.
There have been victories, too, recorded dutifully by his parents: feeding himself with a spoon, sitting up for longer stretches of time, his first utterances.
“For the first time, he’s almost on the growth chart,” Josie says. “He’s in the 1st percentile, which for us, we’re like, ‘Yeah!’”
She recalls the first time she got to see Lincoln, after he had been rushed off to intensive care right after birth. She could talk to but not touch him.
“He didn’t look like a normal baby. He was hooked up to so many monitors, and he had the breathing tube down his throat. And he had a little mask over his eyes because he was having the blue-light treatment for his skin. I saw him and I cried. And I said something like, ‘I love you and I’m your mom.’ Then I paused and I said, ‘I don’t really know what to say yet, but I’ll get better at it.’ And then I told him about a lot of things. I told him, and I remember I needed to tell him in that moment, I said, ‘It’s not supposed to be like this, and it will be better. I promise.’” Story and photos courtesy Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
