I know several people who had the builder carpet installed then ripped it out the day after closing and hired someone to install tile or wood floors. They probably saved 50%-70%. Honestly the prices they charge for upgrades are outrageous!!!! It is a bit more of a pain but it will save you thousands of dollars to do it this way. This is their prime way of making profits so they are unwilling to negotiate.

You can negotiate some sweet deals with contractors these days. I have a friend in University City who just dry walled and finished the garage, added an attic, laundry room, installed new interior doors through out, closet organizers in all closets, and new flooring in the hall and master bedroom for around $10,000-$15,000. The previous quote last year was $20,000-$30,000 and that was just for finishing the garage.

I’ve actually been surprised at how many people are talking to me about their housing situations.
It comes up in conversation ALL THE TIME in San Marcos because everyone knows that the majority of people are underwater.
I can honestly say I have spoken to many people who are in the process of deciding whether to short sale, loan mod, foreclose, rent it out, buy another house before it forecloses etc.
They do not own 3 million in property. They are families who bought at the wrong time and played the housing lottery. Their arms are resetting, they have the same job they had 3-5 years ago but their payment tripled. They are sad but very matter of fact about it.

I spoke with a friend who was has been working on a loan mod for over a year. They had put $120,000 down payment into the home and wanted to stay in the home. They had to stop making payments to get the bank to even talk to them. They were very frustrated by the end.
They had a second loan. The first loan agreed to the loan mod but the second wouldn’t budge so they ended up moving to Temecula this week to rent a home and let their old home foreclose.
I continue to hear the stories of failures and I have yet to hear of a success.

I guess I can say I have now heard of one successful loan mod…Zakaria’s. I can’t say his particular story gives me confidence that he will be in his home 5 years from now.
