Temecula,
Thanks for the moral support
I listen to how determined you are and I have no doubt your day is coming regarding housing. It is so important to do it right the first time and you will.
My birthday is on the 4th of July!No School!Never work, Always parties and my kids still believe the fireworks celebrations are for my birthday!
I have long been a fan of Bugs although he ignores all praise. He has set me straight on this blog a couple of times and he does so without anyone knowing he has done it. Quite the gentleman. Please don’t contrast that with my style!
Cy & Bugs, I do want to stay here long term. My wife and I agree that we do not want to move our kids more than twice in their school years. I grew up around Ojai Ca, this area Jamul, is just like it in many respects. I get to be relatively close to what I still consider a great city that I had lived in since 1980.
There is a big difference, as I am sure you are aware between my 800K property depreciating by 50% and your former 2M+ house going down 50%! Thats a lot of red ink. My lot is also technically splittable but it will take many miracles and almost the price of new lot to get it through planning.Maybe in 20 years it will present some better opportunity but I am not counting on it. I can still build a small second house with normal permits and something like 30,000 sq.ft. of workshops barns and other agricultural type buildings!
Anyway my child wants to look up Thomas the tank engine and he has been waiting patiently, for a four year old.
