[quote=kcal09]If this is such a great location why would anybody “undersell” this property by posting disgusting pictures? Am I missing something?[/quote]
I think sdr is thinking that they are meant to discourage higher offers in an effort to short sell to a friend.

He might be right.

I don’t actually know but it is worth a look.

[quote=BoomerAang]Do some activities together. I play billiards when I talk with guy friends. We go to bars together, bowling, etc. Just find some random activity that you can do together when you meet. K1 in carlsbad? Wine-tasting, microbrewery or bars?[/quote]

I agree.
Drinking heavily makes those social engagements more interesting and less fattening (if you can remember to avoid La Posta at 3am on Saturday night).

Oh no,…I’ve said too much…

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=Shadowfax]Did someone say SHARK?[/quote]

Shadowfax: Ah, geez…

“Shark Hearing

Sharks have extremely sensitive hearing. They can identify much lower sounds than human ears can detect, and some can hear sounds more than 700 feet away. Some scientists think hearing is typically the first sense sharks use in detecting their prey.”

From FactMonster.com[/quote]
Some sharks (like the hammerhead) are viviparous in their reproduction.

Unlike turnips.

[quote=sdrealtor]That last one gives me a little pause. You should see the photos from the prior listinga few onths earlier. Was listed at 3.2M and the photos paint a compeltely different picture. In comparison these photos look like an intentional attempt to keep buyers away and to short sale below market value.

Does anyone else here understand what almost an acre of flat/usable southwest facing land on La Jolla Farms Road is worth? Lots of people with similar sounding names invovled on this one.[/quote]

Seller: Ali and Ben (Behnaz) Tashakorian
Works in Jewlery and Real Estate for Marcus&Millichap.
Listing agent: Soroya Baloyan
Works as an agent with Pru at the same office as Barry (Bhezad) Tashakorian
Buyer: Brett Barrad and Melissa Barrad
Works in Jewelry. The Barrads seem to buy a lot of distressed property.
Buyer’s agent: Esmail Farmouhand
Works as an agent at Pru with Barry and Soraya

Also:
Barry, Soroya, and Essy are all part of a team under Barry Leadership.

Does this mean that there is fraud?
NO.
Although it is possible.

It means that all the agents knew each other and likely knew the seller pretty well also. Not uncommon.

It might suggest that the seller also knew the buyer.

However, we don’t know that.

The buyers certainly knew the agents well.

They used them for multiple sales and purchases over the years.

Based on their acquisitions, I would consider them very savvy investors.

The buyers buy a lot of financially distressed property.

I suspect the most likely scenario is that the buyers asked their agent about any distressed sales near the beach (this place has been continuously for sale for several years) and the agent said
“well actually, my brother’s place….”.

Was this disclosed to the bank?
Quite possibly.

In my experience (which is not vast), banks tend to allow much more latitude with price and relationships in high-dollar-amount situations.

I recently lost a bid on a townhouse short sale because the bank allowed the seller to sell it to her sister (whom she liked more than my buyer).

In the final analysis, it is primarily the banks who stand to get hurt here and a lot of them allow this sort of thing.

Unless the bank comes crying saying they were duped, I don’t see a real victim here.

[quote=EconProf]urbanrealtor: to what would you attribute the shortfall?[/quote]
Lower-division post-secondary instructors refusing to answer my questions.
Duh.

Sorry, I can’t help love the irony of me (the owner of an independent business) being more left than you (who I think is paid by my taxes).

Anyway:

I would attribute it to several issues.
Generally, those would fall under the rubric of a spending-revenue combination that is waaaaay out of line with reality (the same way the federal government spends at 22% of gdp and taxes at 17%).
I don’t have easy fixes but I can call out a few of the more glaring issues.
The biggest, tastiest target is prop 13.
There were a lot of ways to deal with older people being unfairly taxed as a result of property valuation increases (like adding the tax obligations as silent liens).
None of those sensible ways was tried.
Instead we just said “no new taxes”.
As a result of this, California as a whole has the lowest tax rate as a percentage of net worth in the US.
In other words, if you are rich you pay less taxes as a rate (and often in dollar amount) than those who work (and have their income taxed).
Places who need to impose usage assessments are legally barred from doing so as an ad valorem obligation.
They are just required to use a flat usage fee.
That is why places like Temecula have effective property tax rates over 3%.
Those actually get higher in rate the lower your gross market value.
This makes these places are the most regressively taxed in the state (and probably the US).

I mean its fucked up.

Everything he says is right.

Also, Dan the Urbanrealtor is very very handsome.
His farts smell like fresh biscuits.
I hope someday to do ballet as beautifully as him.

I am hoping that these two will pull me into a new, incredibly shallow, political slugfest.

Its the reason I wake up in the morning.

Also, Allan is a socialist and I am a turnip.

Jon Stewart also loves him and has basically endorsed him numerous times.[/quote]

Um no.

Jon Stewart and lots of liberals (including me) like Ron Paul but do not agree with his positions.

I really seriously like Ron Paul.
He is consistent and intelligent and apparently honest.

I would still not vote for him.

I am glad people vote for him because it splits the right.

His popularity is a boost for Obama (for whom I will actually vote).

Now you are misrepresenting Jon Stewart’s position.

[quote=EconProf]If we just had High-Speed Rail everything would be all right. And higher pay for government employees so they would spend more. And more environmental protection to attract people and businesses back to California.[/quote]

Aren’t you a retired government worker living on a pension?

I seem to recall somebody saying they retired from teaching at sdsu.

Maybe that was someone else.

[urbanrealtor]

[quote=sdrealtor]UR are you hitting the wacky tabacky? Those numbers have got to be annual not monthly. They paid $22K all cash which is obvious because there is no mortgage for it so taxes are about $250/year.[/quote]

No I am not stoned.

I am actually working a short in Menifee right now that works out to about that monthly (MR/HOA/Tax/Usage assessments).

But the annual thing makes sense.

I was just weirded because that seems like a lot of cash with out an actual structure attached.

But I don’t rule some thing like that out.
