[quote=sdrealtor]I’m in the middle. I tend to beleive there are special opportunities that present themselves once in a lifetime out there. I’m just not confident in BG’s ability to pick them out.[/quote]
Once again, against my better judgment, I’ll take your bait, sdr. What I consider to be a “once in a lifetime special opportunity” may or may not be what you consider same. I look at many things, including: location; zoning; lot size; configuration and usability of lot; view or potential view (not necessarily ocean view); possible Mills Act candidacy; and proximity to public transportation. These are not necessarily listed by order of importance. I realize there are trade-offs to be made to get a more important amenity over another.
Age of property and size of dwelling are of much less importance to me. School attendance area means nothing to me as I’ve already been there and done that. There are many, many persons well-versed in CA land use, such as myself, who view RE purchases exactly as I do. Land and its potential uses and rights and privileges attached thereto or removed from that land (thru easements and CC&R’s) make the world go ’round!
