Tales of an RSF Buyer (Part 3)

[vagabondo]

I’m not a Realtor but would get my license and show Raptor 200 homes for the kind of commission on the table. The question isn’t if she will get paid, its when.

Does it cost you more if you build your own house or palace in RSF?

I am not rich and do not have $5M to spend, but I wonder why you are trying to buy if you can build it.

Raptor,

Plenty of rentals in CV. Both on Craigslist and on MLS. Check out http://www.carmelvalleyteam.com for cool, color-coded MLS rentals (but don’t forget Craigslist as well, as many are only found there).

A piece of advice: don’t rent a crappy place. Your best bet is to rent a nice house that was intended for sale but failed to sell. You know, the “never before rented” type. Also, asking prices are all over the map, so pay attention to that and don’t be afraid to negotiate. And check on your landlord to make sure that he/she isn’t likely to get foreclosed on.

vagabondo. Both my NorCal and SoCal agents will tell you I am a high maintainence client, but not a rude one. When I bought my current house with my current NorCal agent, I toured 60 homes and wrote 17 offers. We beat that easily this time, with both agents. That same NorCal agent is selling my current house. No I am not an agent.

fromnj. I have been down the build from scratch, remodel a tear down, etc path before and written about it a few times on this board and lets just say we have hired architects and contractors in the past and the only thing we will consider is a “project” house that needs work and perhaps an addition or two, but not a tear down or build from scratch. Building costs in SD are about half of what they are here, but that is but one factor for us.

And I don’t want to spend my max, just enough to get the house that will meet our needs in the area that we want.
