Participanta neighborhood to me has a few defining characteristics. None of these are deal breakers, but a majority is necessary to define what I am looking for.
1) walkable to something (resaurants, gas station, movie theater, grocery store, Yatch club (I kid)).
2. Has a name (la mesa, del mar, shelter island, solana, encinitas, roseville, you know what I mean, tract names don’t count, singing meadows need not apply)
3. has side walks (I guess this buttresses on number 1)
4. Organic (this may be synonymous with custom homes and custom commercial centers but I don’t think it has to be) It just has to come about organically as in no plans.
5. Character (yup I am leaving this undefined, but it probably has to do with #4)
6. History (I want vintage photos)
7. walkable (but I repeat myself)
ParticipantProbably…hence my leaving I suppose.
Its not that I love the beach, although surfing is fun. Its just that most inland neighborhoods in S. California suck. There are no neighborhoods, as defined by side walks and walkable commerce, inland except for a select few and those have crime issues (la mesa comes to mind). Most areas of SD were built as lame tracks of the 70s up until today. They are devoid of character.
So historically I desire the impossible. Reasonable and affordable prices as compared to…not s. california. So I chose to leave, as many have suggested to me, sdr included (Is it cool to laugh at ones own joke?) MM and the like is not a neighborhood, it is a decrepit version of irvine.

ParticipantThankfully, I think you are right!
Everyone, buy track homes, they are awesome. Galley kitchens and wood paneling suck. Only termites and whores like custom homes. Did I mention the amphetamines (but I digress)!

ParticipantAs if I have not posted enough this evening, I have one other note.
If your property does not cash flow (really cash flow meaning paying for maintenance and taxes) you are not an smart investor, you are a bubble rider/speculator. I guess the third option is you are willing to lose you shirt, because well dammit, you would rather be damned than ever rent again.
Remember, rent is just as bad as interest, except for all the strings!
