Thanks for the information Larry, I appreciate it.
This would be my first place. I’m 25 and am not so much concerened about flipping or making money on it. I live in Vista and commute to Del Mar daily. I’ll always work down in this area because thats where my job market is.
Goal 1 is to be closer to work. Just the money I’d save on gas alone is nice. Goal 2 is, like you said, to make sure I am happy with what I buy. I have a personal threshold I’ve set and guidelines which are strict but I think doable in the near future. Thus being a nice 2 bedroom condo within 5 miles of my work for 250k. These ones are conversions from 81 and are 284 and 7 miles away.
Carmel Pointe which is like, 2 blocks from my work has 2 bedrooms for 420 right now, which is just ridiculous. 3 bedrooms in the upper 500’s. I’d imagine those will be coming down, I haven’t researched that development in a few months.
I hear you about the cost of roof, those were the first questions I asked. The roof and plumbing were not replaced which is a concern.
