La Jolla Renter
ParticipantThe mayor somewhat tied his hands when he made a commitment that any deal with city money would have to go to San Diego voters.
That takes too much time… Time is money.
ParticipantAgreed XBox.
What an amazing negotiating position Spanos has put himself in.
Faulconer, I’m a fan/supporter, but please stop with the news conferences every day that keep weakening the cities position. How does the old saying go… If your looking around the poker table for the sucker, YOU are the sucker.
The old ticket guarantee is going to look like a good deal compared to what the city is going to agree to.
ParticipantI grew up in Northern Virginia, yeah, those 4 seasons were great… ice, rain, pollen, and humidity.
The surf was 5-7ft today. … I rest my case.
ParticipantI just don’t think Palin has the vote draw, that Trump would choose to leverage.
Don’t you think Trump will pick a name that everyone knows. Oprah, Condi, Carson, or Cruz.
Participant[quote=phaster](now I have to figure out a way to make back my failed “investment”)[/quote]
time to double down on the next one… your hooked now. 🙂
I donated 10 bucks.
Participant[quote=moneymaker]I splurged and went out and bought 26 tickets, one for every powerball number, that way I will definitely win something, a sure thing.[/quote]
That may be the best strategy yet.
It sure would suck to get all five numbers and not the powerball.
ParticipantAvoid the number 9. September is the most common birthday month due to Christmas and New Years baby making activity.
Flu, your strategy is sound, but I read somewhere that thousands of people will play 1,2,3,4,5,6. So pick some other numbers.
Also avoid patterns (diagonals) on the lottery ticket, those get played a lot.
ParticipantBuy back in 20% chunks all the way down. Make a chart or spread sheet and stick to it.
I got out about the same time you did. Not sure when I am going to go back in. But going to do the above and try to take the emotion out of it.
My plan will also have set points to sell again if the market goes back up.
ParticipantIf your girlfriend is hot, nice, loves to take care of you, and is a chronic saver (1 in 10 billion combination), skip the car and buy a 20k car and a 20k ring.
What is your rent? You must be sharing rent with the girlfriend or live in a dump.
How long with the girlfriend?
What does your 300k portfolio look like? Nothing in a roth IRA.
Did the 300k come from savings, sale of house, etc.
Just trying to understand your personality and situation a little better.
Shame you didn’t buy a place 5 years ago, but 99% of us can say that.
PS thank you for your continued income tax contribution.
ParticipantRaise the bar to legally come to the US and I think you raise the bar in the countries illegals are coming from.
Our lie, cheat, and steal your way into America policy gives us a lot of bad apples.
Vs work hard, finish school and learn English, and follow some rules to get into this country.
And since we are giving most of these countries billions of dollars, how about we require their county’s database of felons, so we can limit the amount getting in the US.
ParticipantYou could put it on the market now and see what happens. Take a serious look at the competition, you have to have a better product and price it right to get something to move in the fall season. I don’t see a big pop in price this spring, just my hunch. Too much financial market uncertainty that I don’t see shaking out anytime soon. So I vote to try to sell now.

The writers/producers must think the audience is stupid.[/quote]They don’t think, they know, because Average America is stupid.
I have not been to a movie theater in 10 years. Why pay the price, fight the crowd, etc. when you can put that money into a nice bottle of wine and enjoy it better on a big tv in your living room.
The biggest turn off of all is all the prima donna hollywood muckety mucks trying to sell me on their non real word political opinions. Please shut up! And say your prayers that average america doesn’t wise up to your BS.
ParticipantI am having a new 5 ton system installed with new furnace, ducts, and zone dampers for 14k. I took the house down to the studs, so it made sense to just start with a fresh new system. Just finished drywall so will update my thoughts on the system in a couple months.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Food for thought and two questions for Piggs:
If you owned a SFR in SD County in good shape which was worth $400K, it had a current tax bill of $600 per year and could fetch $1750 in monthly rent, would you ever sell it?
If you had one or two siblings and your last parent recently passed and left their principal residence in San Diego County (a SFR worth $550K) to all of you in equal shares, would you attempt to purchase your siblings’ portion from them (~$275K – $367K) to take title to use the property for a rental investment? Current assessment is $78K, resulting in a current tax bill of $850, which would carry over to any new (child or granchild) owner. Monthly rent would be $2200 – $2400.[/quote]
Would I? Maybe to both scenarios. The lower tax just factors into the cash flow and roi. Are you an experienced landlord? Do you own the 400k property free and clear?
If the properties were old run down homes and you were not ready to be a landlord, then the inexperience and a couple bad tenants could wipe out the lower tax rate pretty quick. You could sell the properties and put the money into the market and probably fair just as well with no headaches.
