ParticipantPretty neat Jumby. In my neck of the woods there is an investor group putting in the infrastructure for 16 of these, each on 10 acre lots.That is the plan for now anyway. It will be interesting to watch it come together. So far we are getting a vastly improved access road out of the deal.

ParticipantHi Jumby,
You could knock that house down and haul it away for a ball park estimate of 15-20k + demo permits. Once again though be careful. Set-backs for the new construction could be different than for the old. Just do a lot of due diligence. Imagine everything that could possibly go wrong and make sure it doesn’t apply to your case. You have to spend a lot of time at the building department.
From a value stand point it is wise to make sure you are not building the best home in the neighborhood. Generally speaking, to do the tear down and rebuild thing, you want to get the worst dump on a nice lot surrounded by much better homes. You might also look around for a project where someone has done most of the leg work and is ready to build but for some reason needs to bail. You could get what they put into it at a discount and/or huge savings of time and trouble.

ParticipantIf you buy, buy the best property under or as near to your 300k cap as you can go. Given your financial picture, there is no way in hell that is going to hurt you much. If the big old hunking luxury house on the golf course drops to a point where you feel like you will be laughing all the way to the bank if you take it, buy it too, if you still want it at that time. DCA for Temecula homes.

Well I am sure you got the parody. On the race thing, I can see how you think I am pointing fingers at you ,but not really. I know you have never, ever done that.
My post was really about seeing things form a different light. Yes, the occupation of many low income immigrants has something to do with how I did that. You know by now that I wish the best for all. Obviously there are many points where what is good for one excludes benefit to the other and visa versa. Sometimes I see social programs as our great country way of making some of us resemble the noble characters in a Dickens novel instead of the villains, when otherwise we would probably just float around somewhere in between.
I think when push comes to shove the size of assistance being spoken of here is not the norm. I for one am O.K. with helping the working poor. That is the only place my charity goes, besides trying to be a good neighbor, I can tell you that. The able bodied non-working poor on the dole is a little harder to swallow.
All of us to some degree have a component of welfare to our “earnings and benefits” gained by virtue of our military supremacy and politics that land in our favor. Every single class element of our society, generally speaking weighs in heavily with a sense of entitlement, which is generally speaking rewarded some where along the line , so when I see kiss up kick down behavior I intervene.
