Participant[quote=CA renter]It’s not just about “morality.” It’s illegal:[/quote]
The way I see it, it is a law designed to make people act morally. Just like drug laws.
Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Good that you have a friend as your tenant. I have heard nightmare tenant storeis about LV. Casino employees are not angels and are transient/unpredictable. Stick with your buddy as long as you can.[/quote]
+1 on that. My brother had a true nightmare tenant in Vegas. The local RE management co screwed him, stuck a horrible tenant in there and never checked-in.
They specifically requested – NO CASINO EMPLOYEES. And the manager put one in anyway. you might think that casino employees are good people because they have been screened. In fact, they are screened because they are notoriously not good people.
Took two months to clean the place. It was as if a homeless person had moved in. Used the dishwasher as a trash can. Carpet soiled throughought the house. It was truly unlivable.
ParticipantWhen I was 10 I always wanted a watch. Finally got one. Loved it. Winding it was a challenge so it never really had the right time.
As I got older, I decided they were more hassle than they were worth.
As I got even older (post college) I thought they were cool and stylish so I got a couple of them but still had a problem 1) remembering to put the thing on 2) losing them 3) breaking them.
I realized that no matter where I was, there was either a clock, or somebody with a watch. One more on my arm was redundant. I would never be in a position where I was in such a hurry in such a remote place such that I would need to know what time it is immediately and be unable to do so unless I had it right there on my arm.
Needless to say, I don’t wear a watch, but good-on-ya if you do.

I know what you mean; and the place just has no atmosphere to it at all….[/quote]
nice
Participant[quote=CDMA ENG][quote=sdduuuude][quote=CA renter]Where in the heck did this idiot seller get the notion that they have the right to this information?[/quote]
Just because they are asking for it doesn’t mean they think they have a right to it.
Not sure if there is anything anyone can do about it. If someone doesn’t want to sell their house to someone else, they don’t have to. Even if they are a bigot. What ya gonna do, put them in jail for not liking you ?[/quote]
Report them to HUD and the Bank? Nothing like tying up a short sale with other legalities.

As FLU said – have to pick your battles. I don’t have time nor inclination to force someone else to act morally unless they are really hurting someone. It’s his/her house. They can do whatever the heck they want as far as I care.
Participant[quote=craptcha][quote=sdduuuude]How about a massive dose of doggie laxative.[/quote]
Might not be the best idea if the dog already has the habit of releasing over the OP’s lawn.[/quote]
I’m thinking if they walk their dog and he goes to the bathroom on the walk, he has nowhere to go back home. Possibly stuck inside. Heh, heh.
ParticipantThe market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
ParticipantThink of it as a stupid seller reducing the number of people you have to compete against.
If you think few people will go through the gyrations, and you choose to, then you will have fewer buyers.
Maybe an opportunity.
Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Look at that inventory line dropping since last Summer.[/quote]
Yes – shrinking inventory for 12 months and since that time, prices are lower.
Low inventory is a strong force. Something has to be out there pushing the other way to make prices do what they have done since last Summer.
Participant[quote=sdrealtor] … sddude is hoping it isnt because he still is looking to buy a move up property without selling his current home.[/quote]
I’m not just hoping, though. My intuition (and many economic bloggers I trust) tells me that the global economic situation will come home to local markets.
I can’t help but feel it is foolish to buy a big move-up property now, knowing this is looming.
ParticipantYes, the leg down in Winter 2011 was pretty sharp.
I think the trough in Dec 2012/Jan 2013 will not be as low as Dec 2011/Jan 2012.
But I think the peak in June 2013 will be below the peak of June 2012.

Participant[quote=spdrun]Real men work on cars outside, to get that nice red sunburnt look on their necks. And beat anyone who complains to the HOA to a pulp.[/quote]
Yes. Underneath the car with half the car jacked up about 3 feet high on cheap car-jacks with no chocks under the wheels.
ParticipantI once made a little contraption to keep my own dogs off my lawn. Perhaps this would work for other people’s dogs.
I basically hooked up a normally-open motion detector to my irrigation system.
The challenge is getting the motion detector to trigger when the dogs are on the lawn and not trigger when they are not on the lawn. It’s an imperfect science.
But, if you can get it right, it is very effective. No dog is going to squat while getting sprayed.
That’s a great story, CE !
