[quote=svelte]I don’t quite understand the total refusal to consider Mello-Roos. [/quote]
I was asking about areas w/ low mello roos in Carlsbad and Encinitas.
[quote=svelte]So, no, the money is not “down the drain” if you know how to do the conversion factor from apples to oranges and don’t overpay for the house.

It is too down the drain. You never see the money again. It’s not like you’re putting money into the house that you’ll get back when you sell. Whether or not you get a better deal on the house b/c it has mello roos is a seperate issue. I rarely see the cost of the house balance out the fee, but that’s why I’m looking for areas w/ low mello and HOA.
