[quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl]. . . This assertion follows sdr’s “mantra” that “the best properties are in the strongest hands.” Getting your hands on one of them could possibly be the chance of a lifetime![/quote]
I completely agree with you and sdr on this point. Except I think it’s more niche than just micro area, I think it’s certain house/lot. I’m hoping to have my chance at one of these property at the price I want someday. Beyond those few lots, I think older areas, 25+ years old, are much more likely to have long term owners who do not want to move, even in tract home areas. . .

AN, I think I posted somewhere that I have been (not consistently) fixated on several properties on four sts. for the last 30 years (3 in Fleetridge 92106 and one in La Playa 92106). Yes, I’m sure properties I was interested in changed hands over that period of time when I was “asleep at the switch.” But I also was not in a position to “act,” except once, where I lost the opportunity due to a recalcitrant spouse.
sdcellar is in a place in his life where he is able to ACT!! I can’t emphasize enough that if a Pigg should see their dream property become available in THIS MARKET and they are able to ACT UPON IT, THEY SHOULD. IMO, the present conditions will NOT last forever and IF THEY JUST HAPPEN TO COINCIDE with the sudden avail. of a property you have long had your eye on, then THIS is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Last time I looked, folks on their deathbeds never begrudged acting on their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it presented itself.
