[quote=temeculaguy] . . . Sure you can view both online, but houses don’t have to choose you back. Take it from a guy who has dabbled in internet dating, usually the pictures of the house on Redfin are recetn and accurate representations of what you will find if you schedule a tour, the taxes, liens, the year it was built and the square footage are usually pretty accurate. Online dating, not so much.[/quote]
tg, in my very short-lived experience with internet dating several years ago, I found that one needed to obtain, by hook or crook, a preliminary title report before even viewing a property in person. The ads I eventually became more familiar with frequently misrepresented some or all of the above, PLUS, and most importantly, the neighborhood it sits in (the company it keeps, if you will) and whether or not their current “company” has a legal easement or right of way to occupy every aspect of their existence. Unless the property was “local” and not “new construction,” a “newbie” or a “newcomer,” I found it difficult to discern all of these facts at first blush so as not to waste my time :={
You might be shocked if I told you how many mid-century properties I’ve come across who actually live with the company they keep in another state and just run internet ads trolling for a “date” for the few days per month they are in SD working.
