[quote=flu]First off… Sayonara, is something you say to someone that is a Jap… I’m not a Jap. I’m a Chink… So more appropriately, it would be “Nei Hao” for hello and “zài jiàn” for goodbye… That’s just what chinks say…Unless you happen to want to express just about every single possible frustration, which is then “Ay-yah!” (which would be almost the equivalent of oy vey)… So to express how devolved this thread has become, one would say “Ay-yah, what the fvck”?[/quote]

flu, I wasn’t really thinking about what Nationality you were (or weren’t) when I wrote, “Sayonara,” lol …

[quote=flu]Obviously, you’re really knowledgeable in C(hula) V(ista), so I’m sure you can give be numerous examples of how well rentals down there are cashflowing very well for you personally. I ask, because I want to learn…..[/quote]

flu, I do not currently own any rentals but have had them in the past: one duplex, one SFR with granny flat and one commercial workshop. However, none were in CV (all caps). I AM, however, familiar with the circumstances of several rental SFR’s around me in CV, however. The rental range is about $1600 to $1850 mo and they range from 1175 to abt 1700 sf in size. Year built is 1947 to 1961. HOWEVER, the owners are ALL seniors who are keeping the properties in their trusts. One property has about $32K owing on it and the others are free and clear. So, of course, they are ALL using the properties for a retirement income stream. ALL of the owners live within 3 miles of their rental and manage themselves. One of them is managed by the owner’s 64 yo son. So what’s happening around me is really of no help to a potential investor who will take out a mtg except to say that these properties can now be purchased for about $265K to $330K.

[quote=flu]I don’t care about the emotional side of cities, houses, etc at this point. You can call Carmel Valley a prostitute wasteland or what have you, Mira Mesa as Mira Messy, or San Marcos as a wasteland, or you can be like what all the santee folks love to cheer about how Santee is the next LJ… Doesn’t bug me one bit…[/quote]

I don’t care either. I’ve heard enough Chula Juana jokes and inferences for the last three decades to last me the rest of my life. The vast majority of them are made by people who have never exited the fwy in CV (all caps). The locals here just shrug their shoulders and enjoy their convenient lives on their larger-than-std lots (many with ocean views) with no MR/HOA :=]

Seriously, flu, if you had the time, you would make a GREAT blogger! Not sure if that “occupation” generates very much income, though. Maybe you should ask Rich 🙂
