With all this love, I can’t leave. In addition there are so many people here I have come to consider friends that I want to share in their eventual success stories so I will always pop my head in and fire off a comment. The feeling is akin to being a senior in high school and your sibling is a freshman, you are moving out but you plan to come back to watch your kid brother graduate when it is his time and wouldn’t mind offering advice as he runs into the same obstacles you did.
Aecitia, the plan is to keep this as the primary, when it becomes time to expand to rentals, the math works better with the smaller places, Mcmansions are not as effective as rentals (a 100k condo rents for 1k a month while a 300k house rents for 2k), it’s better to pick up three small ones. Plus i have no desire to get a “better” one, it is almost ridiculous that I bought one as large as I did but it was the view that I wanted so I had to take what was on that lot and a smaller one with a crappier view was more expensive so it was more on an opportunity thing and a 3 car garage thing, those damn architects of tract homes always put a 2 car on the small models and a 3 car on the big ones.
I am so glad the election is over and Alan and SD can take the bait on football talk, the only problem is none of us have a horse to back, all our teams are in the crapper. The only highlight of this winter is just as the football season is about to flush on all my beloved teams, the Lakers are hitting the court with the best group I’ve ever seen, their bench is more fun to watch than the starters, Ariza is everywhere and I just added a Jordan Farmar jersey to my christmas list.
