Participant“ron paul. his social ideas are flawed, but at least he appears to be a constitutionalist.”
Dyed in the wool Republican on social issues but that doesn’t really seem to matter much in an age of social gridlock.
Throw that negative out.He will get killed in the prelims for being too “weak to defend” our way of life, read wealth, for his views on Iran ect.
If he makes it, I might vote for him on foriegn and monetary policy issues and forsake the traditional kiss I get from my wife for voting her way.
ParticipantGood for you SDR. I bet you will replace that rental to good results one day if you want to.
Records Clerk,
I have read some of your other posts. You have much to be proud of for what you have accomplished. I have also made good strides without big wealth and a big education behind me. CongratsParticipantGood for you SDR. I bet you will replace that rental to good results one day if you want to.

Interest rates on your savings money should stay the same or get better and Real Estate should depreciate so I think you are in good shape dealing with the topic in a more straight forward way for now too.ParticipantAN

I definitely used my bubble money to get to a better neighborhood/situation in San Diego County(I have a strnger affinity for the place evidently) Since I added sweat equity and legal and developement advantages to the property I could double my bubble money and improve cash flow by around 2k month by liquidating,saving and renting instead of moving into the house I built. This opportunity is likely diminishing, and the house is not quite finished. Been hashing the idea out. There are other aspects that could provide support to my property value especially, next up cycle if we ever have one (That might be approximately when we are ready to retire 15-20 years from now). Neighborhood wealth factor is shooting through the roof as the area is going from rural to something akin to modest 10-20 acre estate properties.
We will probably stay. I may just move in, look at it next spring and if it’s too late it will be a moot point.This is my motivation for the thread but I hope others like you will discuss what they have done.
Best wishesParticipantDisaster,

I vote for dead black people as write in candidates,usually Malcom X. They can’t win and either can a libertarian ,independent, green or anybody else. Actually, I vote for whomever my wife wants. She gives me a peck on the cheek and for me that’s more Justice than I will ever get for my values than I will get out of this Charade we call an electoral system and democracy.
Hello slackerboy.
I like your comments as well.Perry,although you are much more eloquent than I am it appears we are in a simililar bind at election time being idealists. As a “liberal” You vote democrat always? You will be glad to know that is what I do for my peck on the cheek. My wife speaks french and spanish and loves “civil” debate. I think I will put her on the blog instead of me for your sake.She is also a real estate bear!

ParticipantI appreciate what you are saying Records Clerk even though I am the one who wrote the thesis on the inefficiency of home equity and the dangers of owning with 0-40% equity , in times like these. Like so many other people in San Diego, I could never afford the house I live in on the income of my wife and I have. However if I sold it,750k the interest I could make on the dough at 5% would provide $3,125 for rent I would get rid of $500 month in taxes and insurance and about $583 month in maintenance & services. That’s $4208 I could use to rent. I would actually rent around $2500 so I could improve cash flow $1708 per month. Not doing that is a questionable investment choice IMHO. Especially since I am not a big earner and I anticipate a better opportunity for buying in a few short years. I know I didn’t include taxes but 5% is a very low return on 750k too. I think plenty of people have done this.I know most my friends and family would never consider it.I am not selling but have thought about it enough to come up with the explanation I have given you.In fact you might say I am still hashing it out. My wife is ready to go for it or stay by the way.
Best wishes. -
