Axos Bank provided the takeout refinance loans for the five-property portfolio that totaled $7.8 million.  The team of Michael Derk, Linsey Farrahi, Daizy Gomez, Zack Metzner of Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation sourced the lender for the refinancing.  Freedom Financial and First Entertainment were paid off in full with the new loans. 

As a first-generation Asian American female and a leader and trendsetter in the Halloween costume and lingerie industry, Victoria Venice Vu has taken her passion and trend setting skills in fashion design and business and applied them to real estate development. In 2015, she founded and is Managing Partner of VF Developments, LLC.

VF Developments, LLC strives itself with strength, honor, and integrity to provide emerging neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties to develop Class “A” building and design finishes at affordable market rents to our new residents. VF Developments, LLC has acquired and transformed dozens of properties to throughout the region in high demand, gentrifying areas in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

Victoria Vu, a renowned designer and Managing Partner of VF Developments, LLC carefully designed and restored the rental homes.  Ms. Vu was formerly a leading Halloween costume designer and is a graduate of the prestigious Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.  These luxury rental homes feature keyless entry door locks to spacious one-, two- and three- bedroom floor plans with newly modernized kitchens, bathrooms and in-unit washer and dryers. The kitchens boast white stone quartz countertops with brand new self-closing cabinetry and high-end stainless-steel Whirlpool refrigerators with matching gas cooktop with oven and microwave. Bathrooms have been enhanced with new bathtubs and glass shower doors with designer touches. The apartment homes are separately metered with 10 onsite parking spaces. All have Walk Scores of 85 out of 100 or better – a Very Walkable location so most errands can be accomplished on foot.  

Ms. Vu noted “We have worked very hard to renovate these units to welcome our new incoming residents home. We enjoyed transforming these units into modern day living spaces. The team that completed the renovations on the units were entirely locally based minority vendors, employees, and contractors. Many were military veteran and women owned business.  We are proud to create jobs in the downtown Los Angeles area for minorities, significantly improve the community, and provide more affordable housing.”

Victoria Vu commented, “The past five years in Los Angeles have been very challenging for a multifamily owner.  First, the Covid pandemic hit in early 2020. And then LA instituted a series of eviction moratoriums for almost four years which resulted in many tenants electing not to pay rent for years.  There were also no rent increases allowed for several years while inflation took its toll on operating expenses. Insurance costs skyrocketed with State Farm pulling out of California.  We are happy to say we survived this difficult period, the properties all look amazing, and all lenders were paid off in full.”

Ms. Vu added, “This is just the start to a new beginning – We are in the process of obtaining our California class B general contractors license and are planning to build ground up ADUs (accessory dwelling units) in the large vacant parking areas with a very affordable rent.”

Sunhome, a leading global solar solution provider of integrated home solar and storage systems, took a significant step to elevate its profile in the British market with a successful exhibition at Solar & Storage Live in Birmingham, happening from 23rd September to 25th September.

BIRMINGHAM, England, 10th Oct. Sunhome, a leading global solar solution provider of integrated home solar and storage systems, took a significant step to elevate its profile in the British market with a successful exhibition at Solar & Storage Live in Birmingham, happening from 23rd September to 25th September.

This event served as a platform to unveil Sunhome’s full suite of residential solar solutions designed for UK households, highlighting the company’s game-changing one-stop-shop strategy.

 In the UK, many homeowners face fragmented energy solutions — systems built from components supplied by different manufacturers often result in inconsistent quality, complicated installation, and unclear after-sales responsibilities. Sunhome’s newly introduced one-stop residential solar solution directly addresses these challenges. This integrated system combines high-efficiency solar panels, inverters (3kW–6kW), and batteries (5kWh–20kWh), along with heating integration. By offering a fully unified system from a single brand, Sunhome redefines the residential solar experience—ensuring reliability, simplified installation, and seamless after-sales support for every household.

 Placing safety at the forefront, the Sunhome Smart Energy System is equipped with 24-hour monitoring of key electrical parameters, including leakage and overload protection. Its three-level defense system—early warning, threshold alerts, and protective shutdown—provides comprehensive real-time protection. Furthermore, the system’s precise arc detection and ultra-fast disconnection capabilities exceed industry safety standards, establishing a new benchmark for home energy protection.

Beyond the product showcase, a key highlight was the demonstration of Sunhome’s proprietary AI-powered modelling software, iSolarRoof, which leverages Google Maps to perform remote roof assessments and generate customized system designs. This innovation reinforces Sunhome’s commitment to technology-driven solutions and positions the company as a leader in delivering accurate, transparent, and tailored energy plans for homeowners.

 Looking ahead, Sunhome also showcased its balcony photovoltaic storage system—a forward-thinking solution designed to serve the flat-dwelling market once UK regulations permit. This move highlights the company’s proactive approach and vision as an industry innovator.

James Jara New Book Empowers CTOs and HR Leaders to Build High-Performing Remote Teams Across Latin America

Published

on

Technology strategist James Jara’s new book, Nearshoring Staff Augmentation in Latin America, reveals how companies can tap into Latin America’s skilled tech talent to build scalable remote teams, reduce costs, and drive innovation through trust-based partnerships across Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica.

 James Jara’s new book, Nearshoring Staff Augmentation in Latin America

 

As global businesses search for new ways to scale efficiently and attract top-tier talent, James Jara’s new book, Nearshoring Staff Augmentation in Latin America, arrives as a timely roadmap for technology executives, HR leaders, and founders rethinking their global strategy.

The book explores how the rapid digital transformation of Latin America has positioned the region as one of the world’s most strategic talent hubs. Through real-world experience and data-driven analysis, Jara outlines how companies can reduce costs, expand capacity, and maintain product quality through nearshoring — without sacrificing cultural alignment or operational control.

Drawing from more than a decade leading software ventures across LATAM, Jara details how nearshoring staff augmentation works in practice — from evaluating partner countries like Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and Costa Rica, to establishing effective cross-border workflows. He explains how organizations can blend agility with structure, mitigate timezone challenges, and create distributed teams that perform at Silicon Valley standards.

“We’re witnessing a massive shift in how and where innovation happens,” says James Jara. “Latin America has the skills, energy, and proximity to become the natural extension of the world’s top tech companies. This book gives leaders the playbook to make that transformation a reality.”

Beyond the technical frameworks, Nearshoring Staff Augmentation in Latin America explores the human side of collaboration — emphasizing trust, cultural synergy, and long-term sustainability over short-term outsourcing tactics. Jara encourages executives to see nearshoring not just as a cost-saving model, but as an opportunity to unlock innovation through relationships built on shared values and vision.

The book positions Latin America as a vital player in the future of global technology, driven by a new generation of bilingual engineers, designers, and innovators ready to operate at global scale.

Nearshoring Staff Augmentation in Latin America: Unlocking Market Opportunities for Businesses and Startups is available worldwide in paperback and ebook formats. Readers can learn more at James Jara Nearshoring Staff Augmentation in Latin America or purchase it directly on Amazon Nearshoring Staff Augmentation in Latin America Book.

James Jara is a technology entrepreneur and nearshoring strategist with over 15 years of experience building distributed software teams across Latin America. He is the founder of multiple ventures in tech, staffing, and AI, and is known for helping global companies scale efficiently by leveraging top-tier LATAM talent.
