[quote=sdrealtor]No Civita is bad! I have heard rumors of their plans for plumbing. Even worse they are planning to encase the plumbing in 2×4 studs and drywall. Some may consider these walls but I know better. I saw this happen in MM twenty nine years ago.[/quote]

you definitely do not want drywall if the property is subject to flood. remember the great Qualcomm Stadium flood of 2010? you have been forewarned!!!

migrant camps? do you mean the type of migrants from India, China, Korea, and Taiwan? and the camps, you meant those shanty town built by Pardee?

definitely a lot less migrants in Santee, true red white and blue blooded Americans live there.

I think that you don’t get sarcasm even when it pops you one on the jaw.[/quote]

If not drywall, what are they using? I’d assume that lath-and-plaster or wooden wainscoting would be too laborious for tract construction.

folks in the area are looking into hempcrete.

sorry, we are just really beating the *bleep* out of the “MM has no walls” horse.

[sdrealtor]

The solution is no walls. Just vast open spaces for the lizards to roam freely.

What about an Occupy Wall Street tent city on the beach?

[sdrealtor]

Yes that is nearly optimal. Just substitute the tents with easy-up canopies to avoid having walls and you should be OK. Please dont forget to bring a bucket to taking care of any plumbing requirements. Yes…now we have reached the optimal solution!

Time to head to the beach myself.

Happy Fathers Day all!!

just make sure you do not put up the tents or canopies near the bank of the San Diego River. It is a major flood zone from what I’ve been told.

Oh the mighty San Diego River, only second in its devastation compared to the Mississippi…

[quote=spdrun] Are my tastes warped by being from the the East Coast, where age of housing doesn’t matter so much as quality? (Avg build date of homes in my immediate family is something like 1920).[/quote]

Plenty of sprawl on the east coast too. I’ve driven several times from NYC to DC. Plenty of sprawl.

The difference is that, on the east, the difference between city and suburb is a lot more apparent

[spdrun]

I wasn’t speaking to sprawl vs non-sprawl, as much as age of home. As long as it’s well-built, when it was built matters much less to me, and I can always add amenities.

What do you mean by well-built? Adding feature sometimes is just as expensive as (if not more than) replacing insulation or re-pipping. Features like 10 feet ceiling would be very expensive to add.

FLU I would have to look back at the tax roll… It actually may have been 03… maybe late 02? We bought a 1/1 in the Mission Plaza complex. I believe that is late 70s vintage stuff. I wanna say we bought it for 153k and then sold it for 200k even to the tenant in 07. Could have sold it for 240k at peak. We did not cash flow on it… We were about .5-1% negative flow but we had a great tenant from purchase of the home until the sale was made.

Getting back to the question posed by the poster, at least from the quality of tenant we not only had a good one, but many of the applications were also pretty strong.

Well-built = built by someone or an entity who cared about more than just selling the home at top dollar and waiting the statute of limitation on lawsuits out! It can be a year old, it can be 100, and you know it when you see it.

I guess I care less about features than about quality of construction and actual location, ability to walk places, and minimal time spent in the car commuting.

I’m really impressed.. I never doubted you about it. I’m just really impressed you were able to

You can cross off most apartment->condo converts in SD then.
