[quote=briansd1]Recently, I spent a few days looking at houses with some friends who want to buy.
I noticed that some people put a lot of work into their houses. But it’s nothing that I value or would pay for — I just want white walls and space.
When you buy any product, do you care about the blood, toil, tears, and sweat of the people who built it?
Maybe to you, victory is recovering your money. But victory will only come with more emotions, time and cost. This is not war, BG. There is survival without victory.[/quote]
brian, when you get ready to buy something to live in in SD, you should just get a generic condo with no frills. There are plenty of these in 92104, 92105 and 92115. In your case, there’s no use wasting a lot of time and gas looking at properties where the previous owner spent $35K on kitchen cabinets or $40K at Frost Hardwood Lumber building their “library,” lol! And forget any properties where the sellers have voluminous architectural and permit fees tied up in it. You wouldn’t appreciate the design anyway …. To each his own :=}
