Still looking in Temecula, but…

[NotCranky]

23109VC here is a link to a book about prety easy built in projects. I am posting it since you mentioned wanting to build closet organizers.

Really easy and inexpensive closet organizers. They are pretty basic but very functional. The section that the cover photo is from covers how to make them from MDF.These are paint grade. I have built them in a couple of houses including the one I live in now. You can buy baskets and bins and build the shelves and cubby holes around the sizes you find or get the baskets and bins that fit later. If you like the project I can give you some pointers that would make it even easier. Just for example an example of the cost, a twelve foot wide wall closet would be about $250 for materials including paint.

Tony, it’s virtually impossible for me to give the street boundaries, it’s way too confusing. I could bore you with the history and specifics but I will spare you. You can always call the HOA to find out.

http://www.redhawkcommunity.com/

or you can e-mail me at [email protected] While I am not involved in R/E or the HOA, I have this weird thing about research and I’ve been here long enough that I know every street and watched all of the tracts get built. There are a couple of fill in tracts that seem to be surrounded by Redhawk and Vail Ranch is mostly to the East but Redhawk wraps around it. It doesn’t matter because wherever you live as long as you get to drive through it on your way home it’s pretty. Bridlevale is a fill in that has it’s own HOA, even has a pool so it looks pretty good, it might as well be in redhawk. The one to watch out for is Vail, there is no HOA and in most of the tracts it is noticable, especially the smaller and cheaper ones. Some of the neighborhoods look fine but it’s a crapshoot and you have no recourse for year round holiday lighting or wacky paint jobs. Good rule of thumb, if it has an HOA that is listed as $28-$30, it is in Redhawk. All of the gated tracts other than Vail Creek are in Redhwak. Before you buy, call the HOA, so many of the realtors are carpetbaggers and have no clue who’s who in the zoo. Usually just driving by is all you need to do and it will be obvious.

23109, If you bought in the right neighborhood of Temecula, and can stick it out, you’ll end up ok. Let’s say your mortgage with hoa and prop tax is about 2500-2800, and you are getting a minimum tax break of $500, that means you are basically renting your house for about $2000-2300. I say renting because the notion of home ownership is essentially flawed, you are simply acting as a landlord for the bank that owns your home. Could you rent a larger, nicer home in Temecula for the same amount? Yes.

What you are paying the extra dough for, is security. It is very difficult to find an ideal rental in that area that will not be a foreclosure risk. Most “investors” in the area are not true investors, are leveraged, and are ill prepared for the future.

So if you do have a family, you bought security. Would you have been better off to wait? Sure, but what is done is done, now you settle in for the long haul. Enjoy the new library, go to breakfast with Santa at the Rancho center, enjoy the wineries, don’t gamble but do party at Pechanga (do not expose your kids to this however) and when you do go out to eat support your community and go to the independent restaurants. Go to Richies on a weekend morning or during the early dinner special, and let your kids mingle with the seniors. Same with other merchants and businesses, when you can support them. They are hurting, and they need the help. And they will thank you for it, and when you see them around town it will be friendly. That’s the true beauty of Temeucla, the feeling of community.

Contrary to what Paramount is saying, and attempting to generalize bears on these sites as looking out for their own interests, sure there can be truth to that in many cases. Many people on these and other housing sites were left out in the bull run and want to see it crash. That’s the nature of our society, there are winners and losers. And the losers want to see the winners lose.

On that note, why are we here? No matter your faith, or background, there are basic, universal tenets- and they include:

-Provide for and protect your family
-Be good to your fellow man

For those that pay attention, and listen to what is happening here, saving $50-100k on their home purchase or more, and the resulting savings in payments can make a big difference. Buying in the right neighborhood can lead to a more enjoyable life.

The financial disaster as a result of bad RE decisions that some have faced, are facing, and will face can be disastrous to their future.

Most people do not have access to a financial windfall, and the ability to get there more than once in a lifetime. They work hard, save, and do the best they can. Taking a big hit on paper or realized is not easy for most to overcome.
There is a significant human toll, and it is unfortunate.

We may have fun talking trash, but some of us are trying to help others not make a mistake.

The rich are getting richer at a faster rate than ever, with the disparity growing and the middle class disappearing. It is a tough road for the average joe.

There are many with money who are unscrupulous, and care only for their own concerns. I joke about Wolf Creek, but it is a perfect and likely target for those who will scoop up and bottom feed in the next few years, rent it out to anyone, perhaps even importing tenants (If anyone here is really in the know, they will know what I am talking about)let it go to hell while they are renting, then in the next cycle 10 years later, evict, renovate, and sell for a profit.

Temecula and Murrieta, as far out as they are, can be great places to live, and they are. Making sure you are in the right area, and at the best price possible is everything, and IMO more critical than just picking any neighborhood in a more centrally located city, such as an RB, or an HB or something like that.

Wow!! I’ve been gone a week and so much breaking news has happened on piggy.com

23109 is back!! and I have to give him credit for showing up. For those who don’t know 23109 is one of the OG Temecula posters. I’ve referenced you a few times (nicely) in the last 2 months, and its good to hear from you and see that you are humble and happy. It seems like you have a good attitude and job so thats great. Remember my posts in the past about your sitting on the fence and having OCD about housing.. we shared a few laughs. I still rent in Harveston too. Been here almost 3 years now. Had my first baby here (no, not in the house) and now she’s over a year old. Things are still working out, and I figure I might start looking to buy in a year or so. Who knows, I haven’t ruled out another state or area.

I have to agree with others that I wouldn’t want to live next to the casino for reasons mentioned above. I have lived here since Pechanga was a small tent and had $1.99 steak and eggs after midnight. I liked it better that way. I guess I kinda feel like the general Morgan Hill/Red Hawk/Wolf Creek fanboy movement here led by TG-epedia is a bit exaggerated and that some onlookers might be missing out on the remaining nice areas of Temecula. I fully respect TG(very sharp and puts in a ton of research), but there are still great areas north of 79 south. Some of French Valley isn’t as bad as many here make it sound. They have HOAs there too. Spencer’s Crossing looks like it will be well planned, and have many amenities, and is mainly Lennar, very similar to Harveston, and it isn’t way out in Winchester. Traffic on winchester is no worse than that of 79 south (probably closer to the mall/Costco/most of the good dining anyways) and I’d take a secure jail to a drunk spewing/sin magnet casino any day.

I still would advise against commuting to SD from Temecula, especially with a fed mandated hyper inflation we will see one day. Besides, live where you work, so you can spend more time with your family. This more important to me than sqftage anyways. Time is money or better.

One thing we all seem to agree on is that prices will fall further.

HappyHouseHunting .. I think I know your ex.. and I have to say that Meadowview is my favorite “reasonable” place to live in all of Temecula. I could go on, but lets keep it not so trendy.

Remember my posts in the past about your sitting on the fence and having OCD about housing.. we shared a few laughs. I still rent in Harveston too. Been here almost 3 years now. Had my first baby here (no, not in the house) and now she’s over a year old. Things are still working out, and I figure I might start looking to buy in a year or so. Who knows, I haven’t ruled out another state or area.

I have to agree with others that I wouldn’t want to live next to the casino for reasons mentioned above. I have lived here since Pechanga was a small tent and had $1.99 steak and eggs after midnight. I liked it better that way. I guess I kinda feel like the general Morgan Hill/Red Hawk/Wolf Creek fanboy movement here led by TG-epedia is a bit exaggerated and that some onlookers might be missing out on the remaining nice areas of Temecula. I fully respect TG(very sharp and puts in a ton of research), but there are still great areas north of 79 south. Some of French Valley isn’t as bad as many here make it sound. They have HOAs there too. Spencer’s Crossing looks like it will be well planned, and have many amenities, and is mainly Lennar, very similar to Harveston, and it isn’t way out in Winchester. Traffic on winchester is no worse than that of 79 south (probably closer to the mall/Costco/most of the good dining anyways) and I’d take a secure jail to a drunk spewing/sin magnet casino any day.

I still would advise against commuting to SD from Temecula, especially with a fed mandated hyper inflation we will see one day. Besides, live where you work, so you can spend more time with your family. This more important to me than sqftage anyways. Time is money or better.

One thing we all seem to agree on is that prices will fall further.

HappyHouseHunting .. I think I know your ex.. and I have to say that Meadowview is my favorite “reasonable” place to live in all of Temecula. I could go on, but lets keep it not so trendy.
