sdrealtor – if you find that teardown on a 10,000 sq ft lot I’ll go halvsies … or I’ll be competing with you on the bid. That’s what I’m looking for as well. Did you check out the REO on La Veta? I’d prefer La Mesa or Neptune.

edit: currently own

Coronado Village

up to $2M

2500 sqft in new/remodeled condition 7000 sqft lot 500-900 block

rent

I watch the market everyday but it’s frustrating. We can’t go over $1.5M now but we’ll be able to afford considerably more in 3-4 years. I won’t ever spend more than $2M though as the property taxes would be ridiculous.

PD did you see the listing for 630 B? $3.8-$4.2M! It sold March 2006 for around $2.575M. What is this seller thinking?

[cashman]

Neighborhoods: Diamond Bar, Chino Hills, Walnut
Condo/House: House with min 10,000 sq. ft. lot
Price Range: 400-600K
Size Range: 2000-3500 ft, single story
Shopping the Market: Keeping informed online, but find open houses and calling on realtors a total wast of time right now.
Personal Thoughts: Prices are still ridiculous here, and after renting for a year and a half, I really hate it. I am not a happy renter. It sucks not being able to put in my home theater, plant any fruit trees, or doing anything to add the personal touches and pleasures of owning your own home. I’m 52 years old, and I sure hope this thing shakes out soon, preferably while I’m still living!

[blahblahblah]

Currently renting, but would like to buy. Using an 80/20 fixed rate loan, I’ll pay up to $2700/mo (PITI in 2007 dollars) to live in a nice house 1800sf or larger, in the following neighborhoods:

Mission Hills/Hillcrest
Nice parts of North/South Park
Solana Beach/Del Mar
Encinitas/Leucadia

Needs to be at least a 2/2 with a 2-car garage. If this is never possible, I’ll just rent for less. Already get a business expense deduction for part of the rent so the MID is not a factor.
