Participant“Lets see, my wife and I have 3 kids, then we want 3 more, my dad will be living with us, and possibly my wife’s grandmother, my wife’s family lives within an hour and will be over A LOT, that is parents and 8 brothers and sisters, dozens of cousins, and 9 uncles/aunts. Put it this way, our leading candidates so far have guest houses, and one of them has 2 guest houses!”
OOPS! I forgot about that.I remember seeing it and had the thought that maybe you are LDS. In any case, your reasons are the best. If you don’t go for the guest houses you might look at a place with multiple private entrances to bedroom/bath combos. In my experience it makes long term visits more comfortable, depending on the guest. Once I added a little kitchenette to a room like this. Same thing as an attached guest house and you don’t have to rule out a property you otherwise might like, for lack of a guest house.The connection to house could be an advantage for the elderly family member scenario. Actually My favorite is a Spanish courtyard style with access from sleeping quarters to common areas from indoors and access directly to the court yard.The courtyard accesses kitchen and family rooms. I think I would need 6,000 sq. feet+ the courtyard to do it right and …I wouldn’t have that even if I could afford it;).
ParticipantMr. RaptorDuck
Blue collar, penny, pinching dolt, here….real estate agent to the poor,disenfranchised and unable to buy anything. Would you do me the favor of explaining why someone would want a 6000 sq ft house? It is not that I have never fantasized about stuff like that. The three acres I can get into(have twenty )and opine that three is perfect. I have been following this thread and definitely see you have a talent for discerning what is appropriate for you. Just curious about the size thing.You know us poor people always say …”What the hell do they want a house that big for? I am sure I wouldn’t want if even if I could afford it.”Also when you buy a 3.5M house does the agent really kiss you a$$? Can she spell?(that’s a running joke here.)
Best wishes.
ParticipantThey adjusted for inflation, fed cut, and a strong stock market and the inventory removed by the “La Boheme” auction. Just Kidding. If no one here knows you could call Century 21 Carole Realty. That is the listing office.
Participant“It sounds like somewhat of a left-handed compliment (I think). You’re not buying into the commonly held misperception that everyone involved with football is an idiot, are you?”
Not at all, I am teasing, How many of those fighting dogs do you have?
October 2, 2007 at 10:38 AM in reply to: Are you prepared to be ruled by a homeowners association? #86713Participant“Are you prepared to be ruled by a homeowners association?”
My mother in law is the “Ruler” of a homeowners association. I have to give her a gentle reminder that our house is in a different state from time to time!
Seriously, It is a personality and quality issue. Certain types, do well with HOA’S depending on the quality.
ParticipantI have meant to say this before Allan, you have got to be the all-time Piggington vocabulary champ.I can’t believe you like football!
Participant“Millionaire is a stupid slow show. What? 5 minutes per question?”
That is it. A smart person could not stand 5 minutes of that show. So 58% of French people, dim witted enough to enjoy that crappy show, think the sun rotates around the earth. That makes sense. Final answer.
Edit : The following concern with regard to spelling has come up a few times. I decide to look it up.
Nouns ending in -ce with -se verb forms: American English and British English both retain the noun/verb distinction in advice / advise and device / devise, but American English has lost the same distinction with licence / license and practice / practise that British spelling retains. American English uses practice and license for both meanings. Also, American English has kept the Anglo-French spelling for defense and offense, which are usually defence and offence in British English; similarly there are the American pretense and British pretence; but derivatives such as defensive, offensive, and pretension are always thus spelled in both systems.
ParticipantTake it easy guys. I got them all right.
ParticipantNice work on that Reverse Flipper concept TG, especially for a post Chargers meltdown, Monday morning.
ParticipantThose are my Fresno Chargers.” GO Chargers” Go to Fresno.Get a new stadium and win there.
On Topic: Did same units ever sell at previous values? Sorry, to lazy to look it up.
Participant“1.5 million and you guys are bitching about 25k? Get real.”
Think Alex. If the seller has not so much equity, 25K matters. If Larry was counting on a 25k cash credit to escrow after dumping some percentage of his savings into a down payment then 25k matters. And then there is the principle of the matter in there somewhere evidently.
ParticipantHlS, I know this sounds crazy but depending on the situation I wouldn’t capitulate. I have had people try that in a case where it was indeed extortion of the agents and both of us said “no way!”. We got paid, but that really isn’t the point.
I think in 90+% of cases the seller will let Larry cancel with no hassles. The fact that they came up with this suggestion of a “second opinion” might mean that they have something to follow it up with in case Larry doesn’t perform. There are problems with the contract over this contingency and this case proves it. I think it is unfair to sellers..I know…… “boo hiss”. Some people hire an inspector in advance and make reading and approving of the report a condition of the offer. Smart thinking.
What I didn’t like about the tone of this thread after reading the first two posts was that any random seller deserves to take abuse.This particular seller isn’t a demonstrated case of someone deserving abuse.
Please let us know how it goes Larry.
ParticipantGood luck to you.
ParticipantLarry the seller has to release your deposit.
“then I file a lawsuit tangling up title to the property. think they will do that? not likely.”
I wouldn’t be so sure. You are dealing with all kinds of people in the world. I have never had this particular situation but I am aware cases where a stubborn seller gives a buyer hell. What would you do if the seller requested mediation?
