I put in a bid for a condo here it is :)

i'll have to direct my mother. she's wanting to refurnishher home. what's the store name? we have done the garment district dive in years. that's some fun cheap shit if you go to the right places.

 

my parents bought a little place in garden grove 20 years ago for 120k and now the riduculous little box is appraising for 600k. all that money to live in the smog and congestion & cranky overworked, financially over extended people.

 

no shit. but my parents are fixing it up to perfection for when they pass so that my little brother & sister can split the proceeds when my parents die. they're also fixing up my house in florida for me, if there's a florida left...

 

Very nice!

 

the house is in pennsacola. we lived there when i was alittle tyke. totally ruined me for SoCal beaches, i gotta tell ya. man, i hated SoCal beaches. hard sand, cold water, fucking constant cold ass wind. yuck. and no jelly fish to prepare for? that ain't livin!!

 

yup. lovely stuff. i remember being extremely young and happy, walking out into the water with my mother holding my hand. the sun was warm, the water was gentle, and my mother picked me up and held me in her arms because it lulled me to sleep. that's my happiest, safest memory.

 

thats what happened with my moms house. it's about 14-15 hundred square feet 1/2 an acre. she bought it for 140 thousand when I was 10 and now it's worth 800k as of last month. we live in the historical district so they give approx appraisals every 3 months

 

argggggggghhhhhhhhh somone saw me speak from there and wanted to hire me and the condos are cheap...but I already signed my contract and im legally bound for a year...really legally bound for 5 years but i would have to buy my way out if i backed out before a year is up

 

Yeah SoCal has gotten crazy

 

that is beautiful kc.

 

yeah, they do those appraisals so that they can raise your property taxes and usher out all the poor folks who can't afford it any more. sickening.

 

if it doesn't work out buy a bus and build your own mobile condo...

that is my dream...

 

okay wish me luck im gonna go for my interview now...sigh I can practically have any condo I want if I get this job...it's about twice what I make now plus a car allowance or a company car....eeeeeeeee

 

our taxes..:X

our community just voted in a tax freeze forevermore,, for those that have homestead exemption here ..

untill we sell of course,, then the next fucker that buys the property is fucked..

gotta love it..

folks with the dream of livin in the mountains,,even if it is on a 1/2 acre,,, will forever more carry my tax burden

i for one say thank you..

 

i dont care my equity has increased 6 fold in 16 years..

my debt on property is under 2% of its current market value,, an time im fucked,, i wont care..

im spendin every last dime afore its over anyway..

 

youre getting your head busted real bad.

150g would buy a nice 3 bedroom 3 story house in a nice neighborhood out here.

 

hahaha here too. we bought our little bitty house for 230. and it was a great deal. we wanted to move to west va and buy like a 150 acres for the same price, but it just isn't feasible...yet.

 

I don't wanna jinx (sp?) it but I think I got the job and will be able to buy something very nice...I will find out by tuesday.
My interview was almost 2 hours though so that's an awesome sign. If I get it I will be managing inclusion at ymca licensed programs for sand iego and imperial counties.
