Do 1 bedroom units have less turnover then multi bedroom units? Seems like they would need less repair type maintainance also as they are too small to have a party in/ house small children.

Me, too, and I’m a Raiders fan![/quote]

Gotta love the Mckenzie hire- hope he brings the front office into the modern world.[/quote]

While hope springs eternal, you’ll forgive me if I don’t hold my breath.

Kidding aside, you’re right, it is hopefully a step in the right direction. I also hope that Palmer gets up-to-speed in the offseason and Hue Jackson can help this team find its identity. Getting McFadden back (and keeping him healthy) would also be cool.[/quote]

The offseason is the best time for hope -although I maintain this Raider team only goes as far as that wretched defense takes it. The offense was good enough for maybe a 10 win season this year imo.

OMG- mortgage rates seem to have hit a new low. I’m seeing 4.00 with about 3k in fees on Aimloans for investment property- I’m sure others can find even better.

Norv Turner as head coach part duex is proof itself that other less conventional types deserve a harder look.

[quote=paramount][quote=outtamojo]I picked up 2x4gig ddr3 pc 1600 1.5 volt for 29.99 free shipping and I didn’t even need it : )
What declining buying power? Oh wait you must be referring to internal hard drives I was planning to get at about 50 bucks for 2tb by now but are instead about 4x that price ;([/quote]

That is the going price for ddr3 memory (depends on the brand) – I paid the same price last summer at Tiger Direct.

What declining purchasing power? Isn’t that the main reason why women entered the work force in large numbers?

Don’t confuse purchasing power with debt (another symptom of declining purchasing power).[/quote]

The devil is in the details – memory is all about speed at x voltage, plenty of the crappier 1.65 volt stuff on sale over the summer and I will pay off the credit card when the bill comes and by the end of the year I will have enuf rewards points to take my family to Disneyland on the house.

[quote=briansd1]It seems that we have some people happy with AIM Loan.

Any other feedback from piggs?

Here’s a previous related thread.

I highly recommend them – used them when a loan broker got squirrely so I fired them and needed someone who could close in 10 days.They came thru so I used them again for a deal on a condo. This time, the HOA took their time returning insurance info on a short sale and put us way behind but AIM still managed to get it done.( this was an out of town deal btw).

Except that houses have become bigger and more luxurious in the last 40 years…..[/quote]

Most young second generation Californians, if they were trying just to buy the land their parents’ first home sits on, at the same age at which their parents bought that house, would have to pay a price that is a higher multiple of their incomes than their parents paid. Prices of homes have gone up faster than typical incomes over the last 40 years.[/quote]

Land, they’re not makin anymore of it…

[quote=eavesdropper][quote=outtamojo]Not sure I agree w/ simple as possible – my sister in law was about to throw out their dryer cause it wouldn’t dry well enough and it gave off a smell of something burning. The thing had a diagnostic mode and told me all I needed to do was clean out the lint and replace a thermostat.[/quote]

Why can’t I have a sister-in-law like that?

Seriously, that was something I noticed when researching yesterday: almost none of the dryers I looked at had the remote diagnostic capabilities, including the really expensive ones. Surprising. It may be because local repair services and appliance retailers started complaining to the manufacturers that the ability of the consumer to diagnose problems was cutting into their business.[/quote]

Diagnostic mode just made it easier- without it I woulda had to one of those multimeter things and about another hour to figure things out. Really tho, dryers are just big boxes with a motor that turns the drum, a blower, a heating element, and a main circuit board.

[quote=patientrenter][quote=sdrealtor]…most primary homebuyers do not, never have and never will pay cash….[/quote]

Make that most modern American homebuyers.

It is sad that a practice – financing – designed to allow some people to temporarily stretch beyond their means to buy a home has become so ingrained that modern Americans think it’s normal. If home prices were not inflated by a host of government interventions, and the practice of home financing were not subsidized in any way by the government, home prices would drop to a level at which many buyers could actually pay for the homes. By “pay”, I mean handing over one’s own real money… you know, the stuff you have in the bank, that’s not borrowed temporarily from someone else.

I agree, paying real money for homes at real prices is now an alien concept to most Americans. Home financing makes Wall Street – and existing homeowners and real estate agents – so rich that they have completely integrated it into our system and culture.

When China finally becomes a country with a normal level of saving, the glut of global savings will dry up. When that happens, a lot of the extra financing we take for granted today will shrink. Until then, we live in a world of inflated asset prices, held there by a wall of money from Chinese savers, mostly loaned to US institutions (like the govt) that then funnel it to the US asset markets.[/quote]

I read this and immediately thought of this somewhat racist and sexist piece (Tongue-in-cheek, of course)
