exasperated

i know, I should be a happy renter.. but I’ve got a couple hobbies (brewing, 1978 280z repair) that has me convinced I want a SFH.. well, that I want a garage really and the house typically comes with it 😉 So, everytime my landlord sends out the notice reminding people they aren’t allowed to even store anything flammable, let alone work on a car.. that fuels my own fire of wanting control of my dwelling.

that may be true.. wonder though if in at least the neighborhoods of san diego where I’m looking if there’s a dampening effect on that credit due to the income limit?

As in, when the entry level 2/1 craftsman goes for $300k today ($450-500k at peak), and people are supposed to get things that are only 3x income.. so 100k salaries.. which is also when the 8k credit is completely phased out (over simplfying a bit I know.. that assumes individual making purchase and taxable income,etc.). Seems like there’s a % of people there that are going to be indifferent about any credit.

Yeah it sucks Tom, I know. Of course I used to own a place here (sold in 2005) and it had a draconian HOA so sometimes there’s not a lot of difference. Maybe try to get a rental that has a garage? That’s what I did.

Oh, and the $8K buyer credit? I’ll bet that gets extended for another year…

OT thread jack: Tom, did you go to the SoCal HomeBrew Festival in Ojai over the weekend? I missed it this year, but have been in years past when they used to have it in Temecula. All-grain or extract?

I like where I rent, but brewing would be much easier in a bigger place. Too much of a chore to be enjoyable in a cramped apartment, especially bottling.
