I work by the 163/15/52 intersections. But my hours are flexible, and I regularly drive all over Southern CA (between LA and SD mostly).
sdcellar, why now? Great question. I guess I haven’t found a neighborhood I liked, in an area I liked, and be able to get into it (even though I would have to borrow into 401k – which I always advise people not to do).
It should be a warning flag to me… I consider myself to be quite finacially savvy.
As I said, I’ve been reading this forum for a long time, and have felt like chiming in so many times, but haven’t. I will more often now. The thing I like about it, no matter what bakgrounds and personalities we have, it seems like there are some decent thinkers on the board.
So, thanks for the support and feedback. Man, it’s like a support group for rehabbing buyers or potential buyers!
I might just sit tight for this summer and watch more, but we’ll see.
