ParticipantLoved it. He’s giving Trump some legitimacy.
Participant[quote=ocrenter]There’s also the China Bubble. Chinese money is a big component of several sub-markets in the Bay Area, LA/OC and SD. Mountain View being a big part of that sub-market that may be aversely affected. [/quote]
Do you think there’s a possibility, given the recent Chinese stock and bond market freak out, that even MORE money will flow from China into US residential real estate as a ‘safe haven’?
ParticipantTotally agree with LAFFTERHOURS. This section of SEH is zoned for SEES and SEMS, not the new K-8. If you wanted to go there, you’d need to apply for a transfer. Either way the kiddos are going to great schools.
If it is the house on Old Glen, that’s not too bad as the only people zooming by would be those going to the last community on Questhaven, Venzano. And you could easily walk to Questhaven Park, which was just renovated and is pretty awesome.
If the prices are close, I’d go SFR, but that’s just me.
Edit – the Old Glen home is close to the big power line, though. For some people that’s a real turn off. Something to consider for resale.
ParticipantI’m an SEH resident and can give you some local flavor. What street is the house on?
Participant[quote=AN][quote=spdrun]Run it on good hardware and it’s plenty responsive. Windows phone is a bad joke, iOS is slightly better.[/quote]I’m running it on the best chip on the market today. It’s still a joke. Project butter was a joke. If you consider animation stuttering, button press respond a second later is responsive, pressing home button takes a second or two to see the home screen, then another second or two for your icons to load in, etc. Now, that’s a bad joke. On either Windows or iOS, you’ll never see a button press taking more than a few hundred milliseconds to respond and transition animations are always buttery smooth. You don’t see frame rate drop during transition animation like Android.
FYI, 512MB-1GB devices with processors from 2 years ago running iOS and Windows are A LOT smoother than 2GB Android devices running the latest and greatest processor. Try and run Android on a Snapdragon S4 with 512MB Ram and tell me it’s plenty responsive.[/quote]
Am thinking of upgrading from iPhone 5 to LG G3, but this is my main concern. I appreciate fluidity (and more importantly, the stability) of iOS, but am terribly bored after years of iphone.
ParticipantI have a customer who bought some land in Vista with a bunch of greenhouses on it. He leases the greenhouse space to succulent growers and said the same thing – they pay rent on time and seem to be making a killing.
ParticipantSend you a message as well.
ParticipantHave a good friend that owns a house near sdsu and rents a room or two. Professional, really solid character, would be a good influence for your son. PM me if you’d like his contact info.
ParticipantAgreed – I was camping out there this weekend with my 6 yo daughter – part of the YMCA Adventure Guides/Indian Princesses. Weather was perfect – very scenic place to spend time outdoors.
ParticipantWe’ve been really happy for the last 2 years in San Elijo Hills, a master-planned community in the southwest corner of San Marcos. Great schools (very high APIs), special neighborhood feel with walkable town center (Albertson’s, Hendo’s, Yogurt Utopia, dry cleaners, Relm Wine Bar, Cafe Stoked, etc), tons of hiking trails and pretty close access to Carlsbad and Encinitas retail/beaches. All in all, it’s been a really great community where neighbors, at least in our subdivision, really look out for eachother and their kids.
Definitely not as ‘prestigous’ as the Crosby or Santaluz, but your commute would be much shorter to Fallbrook and the community offers a lot of what you’re looking for without outrageous HOA/Mello Roos.
Davidson Communities purchased 10 homes on the most premium lots in the master plan a few months ago and plan to release them right in your price range, I believe. Panoramic ocean views and pretty big lots.

ParticipantI agree with spdrun – local bank or credit union that has portfolio options may work. You will still need sufficient income from the rentals to cover all existing and proposed debt service at a reasonable DTI. Regulators require that cash flow be sufficient regardless of collateral position.
ParticipantOn the topic of cars, what do you guys think of the trend of more diesels in USA? Seems like you get the gas mileage benefit of a hybrid, but don’t sacrifice the driving pleasure as they tend to have tons of low end torque.
Audi A3 TDI sedan looks pretty cool.
ParticipantMaybe because it’s on a street with a terrible name?
ParticipantNot sure why using explosives to kill innocent people happens without response, but gassing them crosses some moral line.
