Or just a home.

While leverage is a good thing in an up market, I would save the leverage for investment properties. To me, a home is the foundation of a family and I dont like to f@*K with it. There are plenty of places to make money in this world besides one’s primary residence. I’m just a very conservative guy in that regard.

I agree with Chris. What this guy did is view his purchase as a home not a financila instrument. Most here blame speculation for alot of our problems yet advocate speculating by leveraging into RE as much as possible. personally I think owning RE free and clear is the best position to be in. My other assets are for playing the market.

LS,
Every property is different in Del Mar. It is not a tract home area. Think Manhattan Beach. The prices depend upon what actually sold and by any statistical measurement it is impossible to analyze what is going on. In a few sq miles, there are at least 20 distinct areas that impact pricing. there are zoning issues (under the rule of DM Planning Commission or City of San Diego), there are view isses, there are location issues. there are so many micro variables going on that it is impossible to discern from any stat what is going on.

To those that don’t see alot of people making the kind of money that gets tossed around here:

I used to be one of you until I learned how to make money. It really doesnt have as much to do with how brilliant you are or what degree you have. Alot of it is learning where to find it, taking risks and finding ways to get what you are worth. In our capitalistic society, alot of wealth is generated on the backs of people like you. I have known many complete idiots that are utterly incompotent rise to high paying postiions in companies large and small.

12 years ago, I was a sales guy at a tech start up and made 50K plus commissions. Some blowhard walked in and said how much she could produce. She was hired at double my salary. In the next 12 months, my production was double her’s. I then renegotiated my salary to be equivalent to her’s. 12 month’s later the company was sold and we were all out of work but she had made an extra 50K the year before. That pissed me off to no end. From that point on, I was never afraid to ask for the stars and frequently got it.

Rustico,
If the 2 for 1 sale came along I’d be ready for that also. In fact, I’d do what my wife does. I’d buy 2, one in each color.

I’m not moving…but if I was, I would move definitely move every penny and would probably add a few. I hate debt and have adequate assets and income that I could. I cant wait until next week when I make my last car payment on what I drive now.
