Participant[quote=earlyretirement][quote=sdrealtor]That’s BS. They should have no problem emailing them to you and they can be that long. Any decent escrow company should have a high speed copier/scanner capable of scanning all that in a minute or two, converting to pdf and emailing it to you. Insist they do so or figure out a way to.[/quote]
Yeah, that’s what I thought sdrealtor. Thanks. I haven’t bought in the USA for a long time. I figured things have really gotten downhill and lazy if they weren’t willing to do that.
I’ll ask again. They said the other option is to fed ex it all but not so convenient as I’m traveling around quite a bit with some international travel so I’m not going to be in one place too long. Plus they want to do a really quick turn around for closing in a few weeks so that puts a rush on things as well. Thanks.[/quote]
Assuming purchase price of a million, your realtor should be able to pull in 30k with this transaction. Getting a 100 page document to you via e-mail is really the least she can do.
Btw, congrats!
Participant[quote=kcal09]The way the market is going the prices will be down at least another 10% by the end 2012. If you are patient you will get even better deals next year.[/quote]
Depends on what you are refering to. The new home asking prices at the sales offices? Or the short sale asking price. You can’t get much better than the short sale prices, in fact those are actually a little unrealistic at this point. Definitely would not recommend any of the new home offerings at this point.

Participant[quote=walterwhite]theya dd to your cost but they also add to the electricity produced, pushing forward your payback date. since there’s installation costs that remain stable, more is better, but not that much better. the panels are most of the cost[/quote]
But at what rate will sdge buy the excess generated electricity? You are looking at having only a single purchaser that will set his price for your “product”. The risk your initial investment would be too costly will still be quite high.

that sums up the bubble.
[/quote]I’d really took a bubble mentality to buy those houses in 2007 and then sink $100-200k into them for improvements.
Buyers today, are not only getting lower prices, but they are getting the pool, landscaping and improvements for “free”.

now head out and take full advantage of the situation! =)[/quote]I’m trying. ;)[/quote]
In the case of Cobble Creek, the house was purchased for nearly $1.2 mil. $200k in improvements on these homes inside and out is doable, but only if the homeowner is quite savvy. If someone bought at the peak, most likely they went on to put another $300-400k inside and out. So basically possibly getting $600k in discount if you are the successful short sale buyer.
