I’m defending sdr, (crazy I know) but I think what he is stating that if you are at or close to rent and mortgage break even, that the cost of having your own place, not being on real estate blogs thrashing numbers, you can move on to curtains, paint and other things in life you want to do.
Some people, the cost of owning that is close to rent break even is enough. They buy and move on.
Others, want to try to get the absolute lowest price, even if they have to thrash numbers for the next few years trying to figure out what that is. Yeah, they will save some money, but in the end how much $$ is worth it?
I pay for extra coverage on my car insurance, the extra $$ is costs is worth the piece of mind for me.
BTW: I can’t believe that P.R. is up there as far a desireability. I was in San Juan this summer, can you say fully barred in windows and porches?
fried plantains are awesome though

The realtors on this site aren’t cut from the same cloth as 95% of the realtors out there. While sdr does have a less bearish attitude than others on this site, he seems to be honest.
I’ve never seen him try to sell on this site
He does like to throw jabs at people, especially if he finds it pisses them off

February 24, 2009 at 12:55 PM #353697jpinpbParticipantAt or close to rent makes sense. Tying up 70k to get near rent after write-off in a complex w/some distress and potential for further depreciation does not make sense to me just to hang curtains. But I’m crazy that way. So far it’s saved me about 200k in not buying the past few years.
