Summertime

SD R, Renting does suck! Okay so we have parallel ‘renting’ lives. We too have landlords that don’t bother to fix things. We have a fence that blew down completely during the fires, so our dogs have to be watched while out. The landlord has told me time and time again that it’s getting replaced. Every toilet in this place runs. I’m dealing with a landlord that thinks he’s Mr. fix it, but he’s definitely not.

Our lease is up this month, so hoping to go month to month.

I have to say since I’m the ‘wife’ that probably puts more pressure on my hubby that you guys just don’t understand the family nesting thing.

Also, if you stay at home full time, like I do, I’m the one that has to deal with all the problems with this house we’re renting. If it were our home we’d fix them and be done with it…

On the flipside I am stubborn and ‘worked’ too hard for our nest egg to just give up $ by becoming a knife catcher…so I look to you guys to supress my nesting instinct and my ‘want’ to buy a home now. I am being patient and so far that has worked out in our favor.

I have the same problems, fence that doesn’t close, toilets that don’t flush correctly, screen door for the patio that doesn’t open or close correctly because the track for it is compleately rotted so it just falls out, but when I think of buying and wasting all that money, those inconveniences are small.

My wife is totally on the plan, I like to keep tabs, want to go even look at some places, see what money can buy now. She won’t even do that. When prices generally make sense, and we have a chance to pull the trigger, then we’ll go look, until then she thinks it’s a waste of time. Kind of nice marrying a finance chick

[La Jolla Renter]

I rent an awesome 1.5M condo for $3,500 a month. No hassles, no prop tax, no condo fee. I am not concerned about purchasing before my lease ends. If I have to eat a few months, I am still several hundreds of thousands of dollars ahead. I will buy most likely sometime between tomorrow and 2011. I want a deal, or I will happily keep renting for pennies on the dollar.

My rental is new so I don’t have to put too much maintenance into it, but I have rented a few shit holes in my day. I have learned, that it’s is ok to do a few handyman projects on a rental.

IF……………by the beginning of July/09:

*Foreclosures have continued at their present pace and also moved into a much larger segment of the nicer coastal areas like CV, etc

*Prices have dropped another 15% in the nicer areas

Then…………………”HS-Dude” time will truly go into high gear because that’s when panic will hit the people who still have equity in their homes and have been waiting for recovery. If both of those items above happen, sit back and watch the next installment of Price Wars because it’s going to be “Holy Shit, I’ve got to unload this house” time.

Different subject: I also follow the LA market and inventory for sale has jumped from 42,458 homes for sale to 45,493 in the last 21 days. A sign that some sellers are already panicking because listing prices have also substantially fallen in the last three weeks?
