    Temecula deals for this market-

    It goes without saying, if you don’t need to buy right now it is better to wait. However there are cases where buying may be necessary for an individual’s particular situation.

    If you absolutely had to buy a home in Temecula right now (1031, tax reasons, parking dough, credit situation, job relocation incentive, etc) buy something like this now, then sit tight, get your dream home later in the next few years.

    It will rent in the future with at worse a minimal negative, which you will make up for with the deal you get on your ideal home (Morgan at $75-90 in next few). And 10 years later, you’ll make some money.

    That being said, if I had to buy, this is where I would in Temecula.

    Decent hood and 2002 pricing makes it hard to get hurt bad.

    Yea I know I’ve said Morgan will be cheaper, and it will, but this isn’t bad. The original sale price of $562 is real, the neighbors are ok (or were) and the home layout isnt bad. As a future rental, you will lose money as this house will cost you $2k mo pay, 150 HOA, and 500 taxes, so somewhere around 2500-2700, and rental for this house is $2k tops. So as I type this I’m talking myself out of it. Still this is a groundbreaking deal in Morgan.

    Now I know former neighbors peruse this site, so I don’t want to give up my secret identity, but I do now the Morgan streets well as I walked them with the dogs frequently while we were there. This K Hov model was ok, Tudal used to be the showcase street, and at $406 this is less than K Hov sold the home for. If you are single, you can stay in the master, and rent the 4 other bedrooms to Pechanga cocktail waitresses and almost cover your payment. Rent based on their shifts so the house never gets crowded.

    Another Morgan deal that almost pencils out as a good deal using rent/own calculators. I will say that Morgan was the nicest of the neighborhoods we had homes in, and neighbors were great. This is a McMillin home.

    Only if they take $250 on this one.

    Again, I will stress DO NOT BUY. But if you have to, go into one of these, with a qual letter, evidence of your down, say willing to do a quick escrow, and offer a strange number that is 10-15% less the asking, and that seller covers all closing costs. By strange number, if they are asking $406k, offer $369,888. For some reason I’ve found it confuses the seller, they spend too much time wondering why that number, and end up cutting the price more than they originally thought.

    I was in a bank in Rancho Palos Verdes when it was robbed. It does not matter if it’s a good area or a bad area as far as bank robberies go. You want to look at residential burglaries, car thefts, etc, those types of crimes are a better indication of the crime rate in a particular area. Those numbers will tell you how “nice” or how ghetto your neighbors are likely to be.

    Of course bank robberies can happen anywhere, just trying to infuse some humor. And to make a point. Why decide to live close to a prison/jail and buy in French Valley? Especially when deals are to be had in nice areas of Murrieta and Temecula?

    Just drive through the area, you do not need to look at stats.

    Go ahead and post the links Tony, I’ll give you mine and you may get Marlo/TG’s take when he gets back from the islands as well
