Participantheh. i’ve been tossing the idea of a diesel turbine/electric hybrid around for awhile. good to see someone doing it.
an interesting advance in air flow analysis will hopefully produce more efficient turbines to boot.
note, the best solution imo is still a pure electric. as noted by the other poster, electricity is more efficient, has bigger potential, lower costs, better environmental impact…
Participantthere’s a big mexican place off the freeway, i cant remember the name… man, that place had really good carne asada…

Participantwhat happens if you start making more than the limit after signing?
seems like a good product for qualified buyers. but the amount of the loan seems absurd… what happens if you’re trying to buy in manhatten? the hollywood hills? the hamptons? do they give you the million dollar loan on your sub 90k income?

Participantalot of sub surface investigation has been done in the county, you might try contacting them for info on a given site… sangis.org comes to mind… or if a previous developer had surveyed the site…
in fact, the county (or city) can probably tell you what you need in terms of building requirements. depending on the subsurface conditions, maybe they’ll let you get away without using an engineer. just scrape the top soil and pour a thick slab. they may want an inspection (fat ass city employee) for the concrete, verify the contractor is pouring thick enough or whatnot…
just ponderings. either way, i’m sure contacting the city engineer is the best place to start.
and your insurance co. they might have a say on the matter, if they cover settlement/foundation damage.
hmm. maybe get an engineer. what’ll it cost, a couple thou to have him dig a hole, look at it, lab the dirt and provide specs and testing? let him sign off on it…

Participant“A guy we know who’s lived here in 92104 his whole life swears houses here will never be worth less than 0.5 million dollars. Last year he tried to convince us to buy an 800 sq ft 80 year old house for 549K because it was such a good deal………………he’s dreaming.”
hmm… when i buy a place around here, let me know who this guy is so that i can resell to him for the half mil.

Participant“Although I’m sure there are other zip codes that are also considered distressed, I’m not being asked to put down at least 15% in the other neighborhoods I’m considering – just North Park.”
i should have been more clear, i didn’t mean the lender had anything against you, rather, they didn’t like the house. ie., they don’t want to loan you the money to buy that house in north park. eg., they think the house is a high risk for depreciation. that is, the house will potentially lose some 15% value (at least), thereby necessitating the big dp. for example, if you bought the house with their money and got foreclosed on, they would be eating a loss if they didn’t have your dp. id est, they don’t want to buy the house. that is to say, they don’t want to loan you the money to buy the house since they’ll be on the hook for it. exempli gratia, you wouldn’t loan your 16 year old kid money to buy an 86 chevy camaro because of reliability, insurance and plain good sense, but that doesn’t mean you won’t help him buy a car at all. you know?
