Participant[quote=AN]20% above 2003 price of $625k. That’s nothing to be excited. Now, if it was sold for mid to high 500k, then it would be in a better range.[/quote]
AN, it is obvious here that those 2003 buyers sunk a lot of $$ into it in the form of rehab costs. Thus the 2007 sold price of $925K (factoring in possible “easy mtg $$” and costs of sale).
It is clear from the recent sale price that some “very motivated” sellers either took a huge loss as to their OWN cash or it was a “short sale.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if the 2003 owners sunk 100K+ into the property in materials alone in ADDITION to labor costs and sales costs.
In spite of being “close” to the rising path, Plum is ONE of the BEST STREETS in Fleetridge.
AN, if you believe you will be able to get something for “mid to high $500k” in that hundred block on that street, it will either be a very heavy fixer or a razed view lot. And good luck to you!
A very interesting and unusual property with excellent curb appeal, jp! Thanks again for sharing this good buy!!

Good point Ren, and well taken (by the element that understands the full ramifications of these decisions) :=]

So captcha, do you believe that women in general do NOT want to have careers if they have children? And do you believe women would rather be “taken care of” than make their own way? Would you rather have your OWN SS and pension or be dependent on a spouses? And lastly, do you think it is a prudent decision (for the long haul) for a woman to rely on men for their support for the foreseeable future or even a lifetime?
September 29, 2011 at 9:35 AM in reply to: A Chronological Listing of News Headlines from the Last Housing Bubble #729884Participant[quote=captcha][quote=temeculaguy] I freaking hate this memory lane stuff, this is worse than my high school reuinion where the girls i blew off in high school turned out to be the hottest mid forties gals on the planet, with good jobs to boot.[/quote]
You did good. They would not work that hard and develop the way they did had you not blew them off back in high school.[/quote]
I’m assuming you’re male here and so I’m taking issue with this “sexist” remark, captcha.
By making this statement, I’m surmising that you believe women would not choose to work F/T or make anything of themselves if they had a man to “take care” of them. In my long “career,” I saw the opposite to be true. And, more often than not, it was my co-workers “husbands” who had a less-than-stable career while they (mostly females) slogged away year after year. Often, at the time these women began employment and a few years afterwards, their spouse HAD a good job but then lost it due to a variety of reasons and was never able to replace its pay package. But that wasn’t the reason these women-troopers stayed on. They wanted SS and a pension in their own names and enjoyed the family income that their earning power provided them.
BTW, this was all PRIOR to the FMLA where (mostly females) now take lengthy “maternity leaves” and still legally retain their employment positions.
Your post speaks volumes about the women you may subconsciously attract to yourself … read: “gold-diggers.” :=}

Sorry, no offense to you, Ms. Allan Richard Fallbrook. I just HAD to inject my two cents here, lol!

Allan, you are absolutely justified in your piss-offedness, and should challenge me to a duel. I don’t know how I could have possibly erred in so egregious a manner. I’ll go watch the Sarah Palin-Glen Beck “interview” as my penance (but I will have to ingest a pharmacologic aid before I do).
[quote=Allan from Fallbrook] And why would it be a “Big-Ass Mistake”? Now you’re just making it sound dirty! I got all excited there for a moment, until I realized that you would feel sullied and embarrassed by what I’d consider a singularly glorious event. Dick, indeed, Madam! Just so you know, I’m hanging the keys to the Mustang back up. Also, I had a total 1964 skinny tie and those geeky black specs all picked out. Your loss.[/quote]
Actually, I was referring to myself as the Big-Ass Mistake, i.e. the “Goldwater Love-Grandchild” Don’t get all insulted again: this is not a comment on your age. I simply never dreamed that I’d get a chance to make political semi-history in the backseat of the Mustang. And, besides, your wife would kick my ass if she knew.[/quote]
Allan, it might be more comfortable if you stayed in the front seats. They recline . . . at least most of the way! And Eaves, please don’t think about using a “pharmacologic aid” for this experience. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity . . . truly :=]

Participantdelete . . . wrong thread, lol!
Participantscaredy, I can’t even imagine you with “lamb-chop” sideburns . . . oh wait! You still have them today . . . That and your psychedelic suspenders set you apart from the masses . . . :=D
ParticipantDon’t blame me . . . my extensive “waterbed experiences” predated the “pillowtop” and “double-pillowtop mattress.” They WERE the most comfortable bed back then and could also be firm . . . if you put enough water in them :=]
ParticipantCongratulations, CAR! I’m very happy for you and your family!
Participant[quote=walterwhite]Who bought the last water bed[/quote]
Lol, scaredy, I’ve had both the full-wave type (with the tacky high wraparound headboard) and the “constrained baffle-type” (which looks like an innerspring bed and uses regular sheets.
As I recall, those mattresses were difficult to patch successfully and expensive to replace. They were the sh!t back then but are now just a PITA 🙂
ParticipantI’ve had Spring Air mattresses over many years – double pillowtop. There is one that has wool on one side and silk on the other and is called the “Four-Seasons.” It is very heavy to flip (esp the CA King) but should be flipped in the fall and spring with the correct side on top and top to bottom. It is very firm and will last for many years if flipped semi-annually.
This mattress might have different names depending on where it is sold but I believe the “Four Seasons model” is currently sold by Macy’s. Even the lesser Spring Air pillowtop mattresses are very good beds.

Actually, it is spectacular. TJ is a VERY large city and has a lot of lights near the border on … late into the night (city lights, NOT BP lights).
🙂
But I realize this can’t compete with all those huge high-intensity utility easements perpetually in your line of sight up there in “Nirvana,” lol …
Participant[quote=pencilneck] . . . Does anyone have local historical data regarding the time between NOD and eventual foreclosure?
(Edit: I may be confused. It may be the length of time between non-payment of a loan and eventual filing of a NOD or foreclosure that is currently running very high. Either way, any information would be appreciated.)[/quote]
Prior to all these government “machinations of the system” enabling the Big Banks to sit on their delinquent inventory, the typical length of time for conventional loans (from the filing of an NOD to a successful trustee’s sale or return to bene) was 111 days to 145 days. For VA-guaranteed loans, it was 8-9 months and for FHA loans it was 5-10 months. Add onto these amounts 90-105 days prior to NOD (for the borrower to get behind in their payments and the “grace period” to expire in the third month).
see: http://www.foreclosureuniversity.com/studycenter/foreclosurelaws/california.php
These 14+ month-old NOD’s I am speaking of here will likely have to be refiled/re-hung, as the amount owed with late fees and trustees fees has no doubt grown so they are inaccurate.
