Thanks for your reply bsrsharma. Your four points all have speculative elements and a if it doesn’t work out you send the key’s to the lender. That last part tells me even you know it is gambling.
Don’t get me wrong I fully understand the value of borrowed dollars getting cheaper to repay. I also understand that potential buyer’s wake up one day and realize all that house “ain’t all that” and refuse to make the gamble pay off? Alternately, our economy can reach a point where all that money can’t so easily go to shelter because it is needed for other things or not so easy to get. What about the possibility the the leveraged buyer’s income stream suffers a shock? What about staying up all night worrying about it and having it negatively effect life and relationships and basic happiness? Now that we are both speculating, what’s wrong with letting inflation and/or a housing correction catch up before taking the plunge? It has the same effect and less risk. In fact if the average Joe does it this way he can be relatively rich after a period of time.
I could see taking a little more risk, rationalizing it with your theories, if the property in mind was a potential money maker instead of a guaranteed money pit. Those scenarios I tinker with almost everyday.
Raptorduck. Sorry if I was a little rough today. The comment about your wife shopping was really meant to be a response to the idea that “not buying your wife a house could be a big mistake”. I should have directed it that way. We need to cooperate with our spouses and sometimes find compromises not capitulate because of what ever the consequence of some “mistake” might be. Lots of guys have come on here and said “can’t hold the wife back anymore” and stuff like that. I know you have not. In my case my wife cares way less about a house than I do.

ParticipantThanks for the link, 4Sbuyer2002. Did you assume that all houses protected by the RSF Fire Protection District are in RSF, or am I missing the note stating so on the website you linked to? I thought you posted earlier about economically diverse areas like 4S being protected by RSF Fire. Maybe that wasn’t you.
Anyway, I am guessing that over the past 5 years you haven’t had the opportunity to learn much about the areas to your north and northwest. If you had, you could quickly see from the street names on your list that at least 5 were in San Diego 92127 and about 20 in the Del Dios neighborhood of Escondido 92029.
I still haven’t seen an actual figure for burned homes in RSF. The RSF Review lists the same number as your linked website, and does not break down the data. Without checking each address on the list you provided but did not investigate, I’d estimate about 35 in 92067. Certainly more than the 8-10 I previously thought.
Back to the issue at hand. It seems that Rancho del Rio and the other RSF neighborhoods facing the Crosby and 4S would be spots to avoid buying, or to buttress with better fire prevention planning. It’s funny because I never liked those areas due to the ground stability issues during wet times. Now they get the fire too.
With homeowners using their insurance money to rebuild, I really don’t see much of an effect on supply or demand in RSF as a whole. If I were moving into RSF, I’d go west of the village, and north of Linea. If fire hits there, the whole ranch will be in trouble first. There’s this place on El Secreto… uh, nevermind, that’s a secret.
