Participantahh, yes, nothing better than a strategy that requires you to be in for the long haul.
Yes, I can just imagine that $200K/year couple hunkered down in their craptastic $500K Poway dump 20 years from now thinking, “yes, this is the dream I imagined came with a successful career. Sure, the kids don’t like sharing the second bedroom, but man, we were in it for the long haul. Life is good.”

Congratulations on getting the highest price ever for a Santaluz (true) Sentinel, but whoever paid that was a complete idiot. Likely an idiot who’s much wealthier than I, but nonetheless, 7 months ago appears well past the peak.
I love the Sentinels myself, but can’t rationalize paying the current asking price for them. Even less so, with the pale imitations at Del Sur. I agree with the last poster that you can actually find the Santaluz versions cheaper than some of those. Sure, you’ve got the $400 and change HOA in Santaluz, but the deadly Mello-Roos and $200 HOA at Del Sur, more than make up for that.
And don’t get me started on the density in Del Sur. Someone nailed in on the head a year or so ago when they said it had a condominium complex vibe. I’m guessing the “redo” will just play further into that, rather than getting more Santaluz-like. Tough break for Laing Luxury… Wonder who’s got dibs on the ones in the pod that are going to be close to the powerlines?

ParticipantYou know, I never get the can’t hang pictures, paint, plant things, put up curtains, or do anything to my rental comments.
Maybe it’s just me, but I just got done drilling 6 huge holes and 4 small ones in my (landlord’s) wall so I could install a swell LCD TV. I hang pictures of my family and art that I like.
Own it or rent it, I’m probably going to end up cleaning up the “damage” after I leave. At least I always have so far. On the house I sold, I had a couple of days of work based on what the buyers requested and I wouldn’t leave to the next owner even if they didn’t ask.
On the house I rented, it was a couple of hours, tops. Spackle and paint just ain’t that hard. Heck, I’d even painted a room and asked the owner if he wanted me to put it back to white. Instead, he said his wife liked the color and wondered if I could paint a few other rooms too–I told him the paint color.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of owning my own place again so I can truly do whatever I want. Tear out bathrooms and kitchens; piss away thousands and thousands of dollars–and love every minute of it. But it’s going to be a place that I love and I’m not going to get ripped off for it.
Million dollar tract homes, $700K fixers, give me a frickin’ break. I’ll continue to live in “terror” of my landlord for just a bit longer… and, oh yeah, in the best area I have ever lived since moving to San Diego.
