Humidity and I do not mix well. Freezing cold weather and I do not mix well. I will skip Vegas. I admit- since living here in San Diego for almost past 4 years, I’ve been spoiled by the great weather. I probably can get used to humidity with good AC and a swimming pool. I hear that northern panhandle part of Florida- Jacksonville, Clearwater, Gainsville are great towns if you can deal with giant bugs and humid weather and storms.
At this point, I have some time to think about it. I like a good cosmopolitan city with excellent nightlife, restaurants and shopping. I did like Portland and coastal Oregon a lot when I worked up there years ago.
I have heard a lot of really really bad things about the cops in Texas as being dirty and corrupt. So thats not good. I do hear good things about Austin though.
Thanks for the tips on Vegas- will skip it as place to buy- okay to visit I guess.
Looking in San Diego- I predict that areas like La Mesa will become much more affordable. I actually like La Mesa area a lot near SDSU college.
I might wait out this bubble and buy there near Mt. Helix. I have a friend who cannot sell her place for what she wants. May score a deal if she cannot sell it.
Thanks for the great tips! Might still just build home on my parents land in Oroville in save ton of cash for the crash.
Does anyone know how to appraise a 2 acre plot of land with a new home built on it? Do agents use comps for the local area to appraise property that has a home built on it?
