ParticipantI would say go to some professionals (not necessarily those on this blog) and ask questions.
Tell them how you are feeling and ask their opinions about getting the results you want.
Then go home and sleep on it.
Ask at least three agents about your situation and talk to at least three lenders.
Don’t be shy about asking questions and don’t worry too much about their feelings.
We do this for a living and we get over rejection and disappointment pretty quick.
But make your decisions prudently.
Don’t make moves out of fear or to save feelings.
Backing out after a $300 inspection or a 2hr property showing is better than living in regret with a place or a loan you hate.Good luck to you dude.

I learned about the quarry 5 years ago, maybe it’s been kept quiet up until recently.
It’s in such a bad location (IMO) in relation to large population centers I never thought it would happen.
If it goes through, I will partially blame it on the public employee unions. Riverside County is so desperate for revenue they will throw Temecula under the bus in a heartbeat.[/quote]
I don’t buy that as an argument for a minute.
The taxes in the Temecula through Sun City area are higher than almost anywhere else in the state. And most of them get around Prop 13 by be usage based and not ad-valorem.The per-property tax pull on those places is huge.
My point is that I doubt that they would mess with that equation much for a small number.
My guess is that the Temecula constituency has a pro-business leaning and that the county powers got sold a story about how low impact (and good for business) it would be.
And I suppose in the end there could be very little quality of life impact.
However, it only takes a few scandals or public dustups for the public to totally lose faith in their leaders.
The pension issue here was the first time I ever heard broad public criticism from the local media of our local government.
Now that criticism and public cynicism seems like the norm.April 3, 2011 at 9:30 PM in reply to: OT:Looming Disaster for the Temecula Area: Liberty Quarry/Mega Mine #683082urbanrealtor

Participant[quote=pabloesqobar]Is there a written lease? Verbal lease? What are the terms? Month to month or a fixed period?
If you want to make a case for non-payment, DO NOT CASH/ACCEPT the check for the lesser amount. The future Defendants will use your acceptance of that amount as contractually agreeing to the next month at that rate. Once you cash it, you’ve basically agreed to that rate.
If your goal is to get rid of that tenant, do not cash the check. Give the 3 day notice. Use the expedited procedure that exists for unlawful detainer cases.[/quote]
Seriously.
Do not accept a lesser amount.
Once you accept it…well..you’ve accepted it.
In court the tenant can always claim “well, I just kept paying the rent like always and some guest must have signed for the letter…”.Here is an excerpt from Nolo’s “First Time Landlord” book on the legal aspects of eviction:
“If you accept even a partial amount of rent a tenant owes–whether for past months or even just the current month–you will, in moist states, cancel the effect of a Pay Rent or Quit notice.”
You can issue a new notice for the new amount after accepting some small amount but then they give you another small amount and so on.
Also, the Nolo books are worth buying. Even as a kindle version.
