Open House – Rants & Raves

[(former)FormerSanDiegan]

Good idea.
But, I haven’t been to an open house in a couple years.
I’m thinking about maybe hitting some in 2008 … but not until the numbers on my spreadsheet get a little more attractive.

I think there is some merit in the idea. As Rus posted earlier in the thread, he has run the idea by me before. The crux of the decision lies with “the creator” right? His site, his rules, his ultimate decision.

I would not want this site to turn into an SDCIA sort of deal. Sometimes it is hard to figure out where to draw the line right? I mean besides having a posting board or area where good deals can be advertised there are other opportunities. Certainly the board is frequented by experts in other fields, not just real estate, financing, contracting so perhaps an area to post contacts there could be beneficial.

Anyways I am on the fence about it all. I do see value in it but it would be for selfish reasons of making money. I think the very best deals I find I would keep for myself or pass on to investors who are clients or potential clients. Sorry just being honest.

Like I said, I like the idea.

I goto open houses all the time. Mostly in my neck of the woods. Northpark/Hillcrest/Mission Hills/University heights. I don’t post about them because as I said before its way too early for any truly good deals.

I went to an open house on sunday. They wanted 760 for a 2/2 no garage on a canyon with lots of stairs. True they had renovated it some, but it was 300% the cost of renting.

Open houses these days tend to be Albatross’ that look nice but won’t be sold. So the agent sits it, hoping to pick up buying clients. I’d say that almost all of the open houses I have seen recently have been egregiously overpriced. Not just overpriced, egregiously.

“8xGRM”….you are kidding right? That is very hard to find anywhere in the US, unless it’s a piece of crap or in a bad hood. I’m just as bearish as anybody on this board, but GRM of 8 ain’t gonna happen in Diego….I really wish it would though because I would be investing like crazy and selling it like crazy.
