IMO – If builders don’t want to deal, check SDLookup.com
There are many defaults and hurting people in 4Closure Ranch. Shop around. All these places are fairly new. Does it need to be brand-spanking new from the builder? There are a lot of foreclosures and desperate people out there in 4$. You can pick up something less. I just posted a place for $499k. You can low-ball some flippers who flopped. Make it a fun thing. If the builders don’t want to play, their loss. Move on. Lots of other fish in the sea of houses out there.
I swear, sometimes I consider getting a place there, and then I do the math and I just can’t swallow a minimum of $800 a month in taxes and Mello Roos and HOAs. That is a sh*t load of money every month to live there. I can’t bring myself to do it. You’re not even near the beach. You’re not near downtown. I just can’t do it.
But I guess if you have kids, the schools are supposed to be the best. Sacrifices.
