[quote=NeetaT]Oh no! Here I go again. I’m watching Fox News. Those guys are real deplorables.

They believe in:

1.) Low taxes
2.) Limited government
3.) Secure borders
4.) Respect for law enforcement
5.) They are anti affirmative action.
6.) They don’t believe in getting rid of plastic straws.
7.) They don’t believe in making people pay for plastic grocery bags.
8.) They believe in personal responsibility.
9.) They don’t believe in putting triangle signs on bathroom doors.
10.) They believe that certain criminals should be shot on sight.

OH NO!!!!![/quote]

So, basically what you are saying is, because you like paper straws and plastic bags, you’d rather vote for someone like Trump, that doesn’t mind selling out our country and making us less safe by alienating the U.S. from all our allies we count on for counter intelligence, pull out of Syria and Afgahistan, so that Russia can run the Middle East, because in your mind, plastic straws and plastic bags are as important an issue than, say international intelligence and security????

I don’t get the logic here…. You make your entire decison process on the really really important things, based on being pissed off over plastic bags and straws?? Which BTW… MANY CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS VOTED FOR TO BAN…

BTW: Do you know why people even want to ban plastic straws???

NeetaT.. Tell me, you still don’t care??? Really?

I don’t expect you to respond. Because all of your “points” I’m willing to bet money are all are based on emotions than facts. I bet you don’t even know why some of these things exist. Somewhere along the line, you equated environmentalist, and general concern for living wildlife as a “liberals”…. If you look in CA, however, many of the champions of environmental concerns are bipartisan.

But hey, when you do your 2019 taxes this year, and notice that for your federal tax returns you are paying a heck of a lot more taxes now that you are capped at a $10k cap for both state income tax and property tax itemized deductions (assuming you are rich enough to own property in CA), you can thank the guy you voted for (even though your vote didn’t really matter), for passing on that extra tax for you. It probably won’t kill you, it probably is the difference between buying a 911 instead of a 911s…But that did come from the guy you voted for… You are welcome.

[quote=NeetaT]Oh no! I must be a deplorable. I voted for Trump! I will vote for him again unless there is a better republican on the ballot. My concern is not with what Trump is doing it’s what Gavin Newsom is doing to CA. I think you are a deplorable if you voted for Gavin Newsom.[/quote]

Neeta.

Let’s just take a step back. Look at the current state of the U.S. Forget about left versus right for just a moment.

Do you think Trump is fit to run this country? Really, look at everything that is going on…Look at this tarriff war, look at this stupid government shutdown over a border wall. Look at how we are randomly pulling out of syria , Afghanistan and how we have pissed off our our allies who we count on for intelligence….Mattias, a hard do hardliner that I personally respect can’t even stand working for Trump.

How could this possibly be good for this country?

Forget left versus right right now. Don’t you think Trump is just nothing but chaos?

And what do you care about paying more taxes? All these stupid tax increases in CA are nothing compared to the tax increase we got from the elimination of SALT deduction.. And that came from this adminstration. If you really cared about paying more taxes, why aren’t you bitching about that?

This country is really messed up. people are pretty selfish and short sighted. thank God I am close to financial independence and don’t have to give as much of a shit… because it’s going to be bad in the next few years for a lot of people…

Being in CA . you can vote for trump again, but your vote doesn’t really matter at the national level anyway. I am surprised people in CA who vote Republican St thebnstionsl level would think otherwise. I even know that.

[Coronita]

Well, looking over my kid’s current grades. I am happy that my kid is doing about the same same as the peers that went to Sage Canyon Elementary and Ocean Air Elementary in the same district…..

And I didn’t waste my money and pay an even bigger premium for a home that only had access to those two schools in the district. Lol.

[Coronita]

I need the planning committee to defer any sort of development at Qualcomm (SDCCU) Stadium for about 2 years so all the car clubs can still run arguably the best autocrosses in this SoCal, if not this state.

Otherwise, my $2k Lemons car with $10k mods dedicated for autocrossing and my $30k street car with $10k in mods for to make it autocross-able both become pretty useless and I’ll need to get another car that is track focused and start running on a real track lol. Then again, Toyota is releasing the Supra soon… heh heh. never mind, it shares power trains with a BMW Z4… no thanks.

[quote=gzz]Is there really such a difference between the various greater Del Mar area public schools?[/quote]

not really imho. and there’s probably not much difference between Carmel valley and Poway like Westview.

But for some reason, it’s a good story.

I think boundary is such that Torrey Del Mar goes to Poway. I think ,not sure….maybe that’s why the price for a similar sized house drops a bit versus a comparable home in Pacific Highland Ranch…maybe.

[Coronita]

[Coronita]

[quote=gzz]Flu, looks like that is the single most expensive PPSF in all of Carmel Valley except for a house on an 9-acre lot.

This house is twice as big but only 10% more expensive:

https://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-180066499-7691_Marker_Rd_San_Diego_CA_92130

It says “furniture included.” I think the target is a mainland Chinese guy who wants a safer place for his wife and one child with a minimum of set-up and fuss and good school district. Brand new construction and furnished fits the bill.

The listing agent has a large all-Chinese-surname staff.

http://sandiegosunriserealty.blogspot.com/%5B/quote%5D

Mainland people wouldn’t buy townhouse at this price. Mainland guy would rather spend $1million+ and decorate the house with bargain basement ikea particle board furniture or have no furniture. This home screams bad Feng Shui.

The only other thing I can think of is school district. That Torrey Highland home might be outside Pacific Trails and Canyon Crest Academy. It think that might explain for some of thr price disparity.But even so, that condo is over the top. Canyon Crest is by lottery, and Pacific Trails is by petition to anyone in the San Dieguito district, and it’s not at capacity (yet). So there isn’t really a need to be in PHR area to be eligible for both of those schools.

[quote=exsdgal]Congratulations! What kind of property did you exchange from and to? Were both the properties in CA?

Thanks for the IPX introduction, going to tag this thread for future use. IIRC there were 2 sdr’s in this forum, whom should I contact. Looks like you are still actively involved in property acquisition. Were are you finding value?[/quote]

Both properties were in San Diego. PM if you want details…But in short, if it wasn’t for the property exchange, I wouldn’t have been buying a new property, because by itself, the acquired property wouldn’t have penciled out nicely. The buyer will owner occupy.

In my particular case, the property I sold was a short sales I bought a few years ago in a different part of town that dropped much steeper than average. The property I just bought was a property that dropped less than average. On the rebound, the property I sold rebounded much better %wise than the property I just bought. The property I sold almost covered the new property. The new property will have a much better tenant pool and command better rent. My cash flow improves even with the additional loan cost.

I think I got lucky. I didn’t like how my property was further away, and was concerned about the future tenant pool, even though it’s been always pretty cash flow positiv and my tenant was overall trouble free… I was willing to settle for an exchange that would have been a net zero financial benefit if it reduced the location P.I.T.A factor. I was even considering a DST exchange, but after doing some research, it appeared folks had mixed results.

The general inventory in the areas I am still looking is pretty much still crap. It’s still ridiculously expensive, and the best properties seem to still get snatched up quickly. At least where I am looking. This property turned up quickly in the right location, at the right price, with the right parameters, so we jumped on it in the middle of the night. I never stopped looking. Just figuring out how to move into better property that produces better income, or reduces my costs or PITA factor.

Hopefully, with Apple deciding to add 1000 more jobs in SD and Amazon expanding their footprint, we’ll continue to have strong healthy demand for housing from some of our young professionals

[Coronita]

Turns out I didn’t need to exchange to DSTs.

I got lucky and we found a good replacement property shortly after entering escrow on the selling side, well before the 45 day window from closing. Transaction went surprisely very smooth.

If anyone plans on doing a 1031, I had a positive experience with the intermediary IPX1031… They arent the cheapest, but not the most expensive too. They were on top of everything, even through an accelerated closing I wanted to do.

Between the original buy and sell dates, gain on my property was about 120% after selling costs. The appreciation on the replacement property I bought during the same time period was about 48%. Also, during that period, it was a decent cash flow around 4% after a tiny loan.

Again, not my skill. Thank you sdr…Especially when I wanted to see the new place the wee late evening right when it went on the market.

Hopefully, this will increase my net monthly income by $300 and more importantly in a better area.

[Coronita]

in the middle of a 1031 exchange … Hopefully it goes through on both sides soon.

[Coronita]

so I guess the answer is no.

[Coronita]

when you have money to buy

[Coronita]

Didn’t see this coming…

Intel rumored to have pulled the plug on 10nm….

and with AMD stock battered preearnings, maybe I’ll jump back in after Wednesdays earnings call…

Intel kills off the 10nm process

[Coronita]

gotcha…well, there’s always waiting for banks to relax lending standards and for stated income loans to come back to combat rising rates……

I’m kidding…sort of…ok, not really…

[Coronita]

[quote=The-Shoveler]Maybe your condo is not so low end, anyway I can tell you almost nothing is moving on the low end condos (under 300K).

It is almost completely a dead market.[/quote]

really, what part of town?

I swear there is still very little inventory in Mira Mesa …. not that I will ever sell there….what part of town do you see a slow down? I am curious…
