ParticipantWrite her an email telling her to put together an offer with YOUR pre-qual and at YOUR price. She has an obligation to do so and transmit it to the selling broker.
It’s a shame that dual agency isn’t common in CA and you can’t (easily) just go off and see properties by calling the selling broker. Cutting the middle-chick out of the equation entirely would be ideal, right?
ParticipantIdeally, limit would be something less than a year. Seven is fucking insane.
ParticipantAgreed it’s a problem.
There should be limits on data retention (say 90 days). A government agent deliberately circumventing those limits should be punishable by a year in general prison population for each instance.
Participant^^^
It is illegal to search data that’s located on a phone. Don’t want to be “searched without arrest?” Minimize your use of cloud-clown services and use strong encryption when possible.
ParticipantTo the OP – when did you buy? If you bought in 2006-7, I’d be wary and consider selling. If you got a rental in a good area at 2009 or late 2011 prices, I doubt that prices will drop below those two nadirs.
As far as future prices, we have different factors that mostly cancel.
For appreciation:
(1) Mel Watt, who wants to expand access to credit via the GSEs.
(2) Possibility of future growth, higher wages, etc.
(3) We still haven’t exceeded the 2006 bubble peak
(4) 5-6% isn’t a horrible return in this economyFor depreciation:
(1) Julian Castro, who wants to wind down the GSEs.
(2) Upcoming end of QE3 (finally!) and higher rates coming. If the economy improved, better investments than property might also exist.
(3) 2006 was a bubble, might take a long time to exceed it. Prices in SD overcorrected to the downside in 2009 and 2011. Now they may have overcorrected to the upside.
(4) Investors are burnt out and can see areas with better returnsParticipantIs 79.434.00 a dollar amount? It looks more like a phone number in a third-world city.
ParticipantNeither of them are likeable people, IMHO. Not condoning her actions, but I feel like someone had to play the big boy here, and nobody did.
“Crazy” was wasting an hour or more taking this no doubt irate woman down to the sheriff’s station, booking her, driving her to the county jail. All for something that could have been resolved by “my badge number is ###, my name is Officer —-. Are you finished yet, ma’am?” He broke your rule: he engaged the crazy instead of letting her rant till she’s tired of it and laughing about it over a beer later that day.
Better yet, replace the traffic cop with a camera issuing a ticket for 69 in a 50. She can rant to the mailman for all it’s worth. Use the police freed up for other things, like investigating non-traffic crimes. A friend had her home vandalized last year. Police couldn’t even be arsed to show up and take a report.
ParticipantNo, apparently his vest was un-velcroed, whether by his moving his arms or by her is unclear. No damage to clothing.
BTW – the relevant statute of battery doubles the possible sentence from 6 months to a year if a police officer is involved. But the definition of the crime is the same. “Unlawful force or violence.”
Would someone be charged for battery for grabbing a WalMart greeter’s nametag in the absence of any other injury? Doubt it. Why should a cop be a special snowflake when the definition of the crime is the same?
As far as cops being held to higher standards — HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! In what alternate universe? I’ll believe it when the cops who beat that homeless man to death in Orange County assume their rightful seats in the San Quentin gas chamber. Or if Oscar Grant’s shooter were still rotting in prison rather than being released after a year.
And BTW, why do we still need so many traffic cops? Set reasonable speed limits (they should be limits, not lower limits!), say 70-80 mph on freeways, keeping local limits the same. Have randomly located mobile speed cameras set to 10 mph over the limit on freeways and major arterial roads, 5 mph over on residential streets. 10 sec video with known frame-rate to provide evidence in court as to the camera’s accuracy (or not). I for one welcome our robotic job-stealers.
As far as the cops that remain on traffic duty, don’t issue them with radar guns. Concentrating on speed is the easy way out. Rather, train them to keep their eyes on traffic and look for evidence of actual reckless and inattentive driving. Tailgating, weaving, texting, mechanical problems, disregarding pedestrians in crosswalks, etc. I’ve been on a highway where the person driving in front of me was weaving like a drunk. We passed a police car and the cop didn’t do a thing. Same with a truck with a flat tire shedding chunks of rubber one time.
Footage should be on a car camera to provide evidence in court, but discarded after a week for privacy if not used in a traffic stop.
ParticipantWhy didn’t the entitled brat just identify himself and show his badge as required by law? Was he too “good” to show his badge? And, BTW, being an arrogant, entitled, whiny bitch isn’t a crime. It’s something that public-facing employees have to deal with on a regular basis, without violence.
Just because a cop chose his profession doesn’t actually entitle him to protection from rudeness. Quite the contrary: if he can’t take it, he should quit and find another job that’s more suitable to his temperament.
Sounds like it was the meeting of two entitled, arrogant people, but as the public employee on the job, he should not have aggravated the situation. Lastly, if he really thought she was grabbing for his gun, he was a blithering idiot. 15 seconds later, he reached inside the car and bent over her to unbuckle her seatbelt — not a smart move if he actually thought that she was a threat.
June 23, 2014 at 2:07 PM in reply to: Crazy price swings/flips on this property in the last year #775629ParticipantSomeone getting cash under the table. Or a hard money lender foreclosing, perhaps? Or maybe money laundering — whoever resold it may not have cared about a $100k loss.
ParticipantNo one here has taken a few weeks off work? Ever?
ParticipantGood thing is that some of that crap will evaporate *poof* when interest rates are raised.
ParticipantAgain, you’re just arguing FOR my point that your sample neighborhoods don’t represent the County as a whole any more than Lizardside does.
ParticipantWho cares about perception of evil? On a more practical note, people who think you have money will ask you for money.
