GuestAfter viewing this home last week, here is my take on the previous review.
This house is in the same condition as the surrounding neighborhood. It sits on a corner lot with a nice slopping front yard area. It is NOT “all cracked up” as jimmyle put it, but does show some age as do others on the street. It has a nicely saltillo tiled entryway with bench. The neighborhood seems to be mosty rental properties…a good area for such as it is in a lower to middle income type part of the city, with lower home values.
I’m sure this would make a great income property for an investor that is in it for the long term or for the first time home buyer who is willing to put in a bit of sweat equity.
Sure, it may need a newer type garage door (probably under $1000.00 and an easy replacement), as do most in the neighborhood. The roof appears to be fine with no leaks. It has a nice brick, gas fireplace, marble flooring in the entryway, kitchen and dining room, ceramic tiles in the bathrooms, a “media” style room in the garage, and a built in bbq on the brick patio.
Other than the garage door replacement, the only real expense would be cosmetic things such as paint, carpet, new window treatments, partial fence replacement in the back yard, and re-seeding the yard. I can’t see having to spend more than $5-10k in improvements to make this home “livable”.
This house is a good value and doesn’t deserve the scathing review it received from jimmyle, which, btw, I’d like to hear just how he’d spend that $70K!

ParticipantThis house is a good value and doesn’t deserve the scathing review it received from jimmyle…
It’s listing at $389,000 – $429,000 now, so the market seems to disagree that it’s a good value. Even @ $389k, you’re talking about $303/sq-ft. That’s hardly good value, especially in MM, where you have 8361 CALLE MORELOS SD – Mira Mesa, 92126 @ $228/sq-ft and 10975 PARKDALE AVE SD – Mira Mesa, 92126 @ $256/sq-ft. Those are not selling either at those price, btw. So the market say even those are not good value. @ $228/sq-ft, with this house, you’re talking about $292k.December 18, 2007 at 1:17 PM #120003ParticipantThis house is a good value and doesn’t deserve the scathing review it received from jimmyle…

ParticipantJimmy, if you make $80K+ a year and have a down payment of $80,000+, and have a credit score above 680, and can document your income, you MIGHT be able to get a really good loan on that New Salem house these days.
How much do you think Hemphill will rent for ?
Mutiply the monthly rent x 125 and that’s what the house is really worth AFTER it’s been fixed up.December 18, 2007 at 1:22 PM #120008ParticipantJimmy, if you make $80K+ a year and have a down payment of $80,000+, and have a credit score above 680, and can document your income, you MIGHT be able to get a really good loan on that New Salem house these days.
