Good one. I agree. Damn, we’re some spoiled San Diego bastards, aren’t we?

I like a (back of the house)southern exposure for the all-day light you get in your living areas. You also don’t get the direct, through-your-windows and in-your-eyes sunlight that you get later in the day with a western exposure.

Southeast is nice, too. You get the morning sun to warm up your house and brighten your breakfast, but not too much afternoon sun.

For feng shui, I’m pretty sure the direction of the front door is what’s important.

A bank owned house in Carmel Valley (Great Meadow Drive) sold recently at near-peak pricing. They were asking 994.5k, which was less than what it was worth. It sold for $1.18m, which was, I think, somewhat more than it was worth. If I had to guess, I’d say the second-highest offer may have been 100k or more less than the highest offer. So there are definitely still people out there who will pay an awful lot for a nice house (it was a nice house). Too much, even.

Back to the topic at hand:

Anybody have experience or know anything about VRBO (vacation rental by owner). I’ve been thinking of using that for trips to big bear. I’ve heard good things about it, but once, a few years ago, I heard about somebody getting scammed.

I view staying, forcing foreclosure, and stalling the process while not paying as a clear ethical problem.

What about staying and just waiting until the bank takes your house? Not stalling the bank, but just waiting for the overwhelmed bank to finally get around to taking their house back.

I have a friend in Murietta who is about 300k upside down on his house. He is considering a strategic default and asked my opinion. I told him I thought he should stop making payments and wait for the bank to take his house back. His wife thinks that is wrong. I think it’s a business decision.

I’m curious what your distinction is between giving the bank the house back right away and waiting for them to take it.

Thanks in advance for your opinion.
