GF+prev-house–> Divorce, she gave up rights to the house. Full and clear from that as of Feb/2015… another reason we started house hunting ๐
FHA+luck+NW-Chula–> I agree NW Chula is very nice… I mean you get spill over from Broadway and some areas have a high concentration of apartments… but don’t need a/c! ๐
I also agree that we are a long shot… and to be honest, idk if I could really actually pull the trigger. Soooo much student loan debt, plus credit cards and all.
I feel I am a microcosm of the current issues facing first time home buyers…
Renting–>Normal Heights yes… lovely place, and super cheap. Still have to drive down to Chula to drop kid off and then head to Poway for work.
Thanks for the response and insight. Condos… yeah, they scare me. Like an APT I can’t bounce from if I don’t like. East Chula… meh, all HOA crap. I’m a bit of a hick so if I’s buy’s land ain’t nobody gun tell me what ta do… ‘cept maybe law dawg
She says she just wants a house… so, maybe we look elsewhere in South Bay. Lemon Grove? Nasty City… omg La Presa is fugly, like TJ hills… S Bay Terrace is like condo land… #1 gentrifying area 92113… encanto, are there pockets of nice?
Friend says to move up to Menifee… but wow @taxes and meloroo and hoa and 15 PARKING LOT SHOOT SELF
