ParticipantMy only complaint about this post – it isn’t off topic but is labelled as such.
I’m living in “Nothing”
January 10, 2013 at 11:42 AM in reply to: Personal Financial “Advisors” and Self Help “Financial Coaches”…What so many people already knew… #757450ParticipantI don’t think Suze O falls under the “get rich quick” folks. I think her show is very helpful and gives normal people good advice on how to do better.
Participant[quote=SD Realtor]Yes make sure you hire a local contractor who is intimately familiar with the city and county you are making the purchase in. Otherwise you can build it all only to get hurt by local ordinances or zoning laws that are pertinent to that area.[/quote]
Even that may not work if the contractor is charging you for construction plus other “fees” or “development” costs.
Contractors don’t want to include a true total cost because nobody really has a good handle on all the possible fees that come up.
New builds are very different than renovations because the fees associated with a new building have already been paid.
ParticipantMake sure you include the city fees and other non-construction costs in your cost model.
In San Diego, contractors will tell you “X per square foot” but that is to build once you get permits. I’m finding out in San Diego, architecture fees, city fees, utility fees and permitting fees for a new home can run $200K or more.
Also make sure you know “square feet of what” when you hear a cost per square foot. – is it square feet, excluding the garage ? useable square feet ? heated square feet ? square feet, including the garage ? yada yada.
Getting a clear, total cost from an architect or builder that includes everything is very tricky.
ParticipantBG – you misquoted him.
He said “a lot more buildable land”
not
“a lot of buildable land”

[quote=livinincali]We got so close to actually getting to the real issue which is mental health problems and treatments.[/quote]
Similar ideas here. Mentally ill people see some benefit to their actions, I’m sure.
Build a society where you can advance without violence, and keep the crazies in check and there is no need to ban stuff.
Good post, livinincali.
ParticipantYou lost me at “no booze”
December 18, 2012 at 1:44 PM in reply to: Debate: House prices will not reach their bottoms until #756594ParticipantRates won’t rise until prices come off and continue to distance themselves from the bottom for an extended period of time.
Participant[quote=Ren]Partly in an attempt to counter those kinds of people, but also to give karma a hand, I make a point of giving nice people priority. If someone comes to me needing help with something, and they’re genuinely good peeps, they get put on top of the pile.[/quote]
“Be good to good people” is one of my favorite philosophies. But sometimes, it’s hard to tell.
ParticipantSafety itself is not an illusion.
The illusion is thinking that certain things make you safe when they don’t.
One may feel that laws or guns or people to protect you make you safe. In actuality what makes you safe is a society in which people derive little or no benefit from harming others.
