ParticipantI think building isn’t so bad, especially if you understand the process and can manage it yourself.
The problem comes in getting all the approvals and government stamps needed to pull a permit. THe difficulty of this varies greatly by neighborhood. I’m sure in north county there are some places which are easy to get a permit and some places which are nightmares. I would focus energy on figuring out all the nasty rules that can stop a design in its tracks.
I recommend getting help from an architect who is used to moving projects through the government. You don’t need a great architect, but you need an architect who really knows the rules and/or how to get around them.
Also, if you get a construction loan, you have to make sure you get the project done before the construction loan expires. Keeping things moving fast enough can be difficult and stressful.
If you “have your eye” on a project that is already permitted, I say go for it.

ParticipantMany people may be willing to pay a 20% premium to not be a renter. I think that is what is really happening right now.

ParticipantFarrah was the single prettiest woman ever to appear on TV, IMHO. Take a moment and watch a few of the original Charlie’s Angels shows ( I caugth them on some cable channel a couple years ago) and you’ll be a believer. Sad to see her go, but glad to know she has no more pain.
Michael Jackson was, without question, both an incredible entertainer, and quite disturbed.
I heard Wal Mart is honoring MJ this week with a sale – they have little boys pants half-off.

ParticipantRenting also allows you to learn the area before committing. You don’t have to rent forever, just long enough to make a better decision.
