Pasadena, Please don’t interpret my words as me trying to pick a fight and it’s hard to tell if someone is a studied lurker or a drop in, was just trying to bring you up to speed but obviously you already are. As Bugs pointed out, there appears to be evidence that the original properties are more than one, recently built and indicative of a specuvestor. There are many hard working families who own only one home and are getting screwed right now, that sucks, wish it didn’t happen. I know as a broker you feel bad for some of them looking for relief but I have seen the other side of this and it has jaded me a little. I have a few dozen employees yet I don’t set their wages. I like them, wish the best for them and consider them friends. Most of them make just under six figures and almost all have young children. None of them can buy a modest home with decent schools and for the last 100 years people in their position could. They did what they were told, they went to school, got good jobs, work hard every day and what they ask in return has always been attainable until now. I know those times will return and unfortunately there will be casualties on the way there but in the end it will be better for society as a whole. Dina will survive, she won’t lose any limbs and hopefully she will become a wise investor in the future, or at least one with spell check and can spell the name of the city where she owns homes (dammit, all this way writing like a grown up and then, poof).
