ParticipantI would check out Normal Heights north of Adams.
I just showed a house on Mansfield there (about 1300 sqft) and about 250-300k asking.
Thats pretty much the price of a 2br apt in central Hillcrest.
I host open houses there (Hillcrest) constantly.
As an alternative, I would look at North Park east of 30th (probably north of Upas).
Finally, I would have a peak at some of the places in South Park (basically greater North Park South of Juniper). I have seen several places there (especially those with the 92102 zip code) that really make a lot of sense.
Okay and one other area to check out.
Sorry, I am a geek about this.
This is more for those who don’t have kids and are more interested in really gorgeous historic neighborhoods. Its a touch sketchy but Sherman Heights (east of the ballpark and south of 94) has lots of buildings that are more than 100 years old and can be bought for cheap. Again a sketchy neighborhood but truly incredible homes.January 19, 2009 at 10:11 PM in reply to: Is it possible to see the loan type of a specific property in SD County? #331416ParticipantIt may be.

Participant[quote=4plexowner]How about stepping out the front door of your fancy new digs to find the homeless pissing on the side of the building?
You mean pitfalls like that?[/quote]
Your point is valid but that’s really a criticism of urban areas in general.
Not everybody likes rural or suburbs.
The only urban scene where I have not seen that is in Singapore.
Anyway that city is more of a concrete-jungle-meets-stepford-wives weirdness than I have ever seen. Though the Indian quarter is nice…

Did you ask closing cost from seller or bank? Banks looks at net income on the sale. Corruption and collusion is possible in any transaction including real estate transaction. [/quote]Nope.
I think they just took the first offer in front of them. I have seen it happen before.Also, it appears the house on gran viaduct was purchased without a mortgage.
That means they either had cash or another property to borrow against.
