I agree about renting from a homeowner if possible. The last 4 homes I have rented were through the owners themselves. Overall this has been a much happier experience for me than renting through a management company. I did a lot of that when I was younger, rented apts that were managed by some kind of property management company.
We are moving to the north county coastal area this June. We will be renting and we are open to a managed property but prefer to rent directly from an owner.
I wish I could be there, but I won’t be moving to Encinitas
until the end of May. I want to thank everyone here for all the great info on the area and the bubble in general.
Also, thanks for the Today’s Pizza link. We have not had a really good pizza since leaving Chicago.
