I finally found a gal on craigslist wanting to move ASAP and couldn't give a 30 days notice. She got lucky and got a place in SM for way below market rent through some friends and had to move on it. We were working on the deal when she called and told me the management company rented it out without notifying her. She was angry and told them they had to do something for me. So I got the same floor plan across from her former place. Here's where it gets good at her old market rent of $1200. It's a 1\1 between Barrington & Bundy just a stones throw below Wishire, Dude... I sent them the cashiers check overnight I wasn't about to leave anything to chance for that location. It's in a rent control area five minutes from SM. I feel fortunate...sylviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058250992618537636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983944778720243687.post-26683767995453731102007-04-05T11:05:00.000-07:002007-04-05T11:05:00.000-07:00That 896K can be dubbed a "low-end sale" is one th...That 896K can be dubbed a "low-end sale" is one the most frightening comments I've read in a long while. <BR/><BR/>And Sylvie, good luck finding good rentals. I've been trying to help a buddy of mine find a decent place, and it's been a staggering prospect, especially since he's determined to stay on the westside. He finally found a decent apartment for 2200 in Brentwood. No great shakes, but it's safe and a nice building. He was initially looking for a small house, but even 3000 would only get you a POS. It's why I'm getting the heck out of here.Lionelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12624026990027498835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983944778720243687.post-35655086490683010722007-04-05T10:04:00.000-07:002007-04-05T10:04:00.000-07:00It's sad. 5 or 6 years ago I thought prices were ...It's sad. 5 or 6 years ago I thought prices were insane. Now I'm making statistically more than 85% of the population, and I still can't afford a decent house that doesn't require me to sit through 3 hours of traffic every day on the way to work. Who the hell is buying these properties?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983944778720243687.post-6910515590970902902007-04-05T08:50:00.000-07:002007-04-05T08:50:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350328131891663416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983944778720243687.post-10535757637228169492007-04-04T18:39:00.000-07:002007-04-04T18:39:00.000-07:00I'm moving back to So Cal in 10 days is this what ...I'm moving back to So Cal in 10 days is this what I have to look forward too? I'll be renting in W. LA but the whole area gets more insanely over priced each year. I say let the HB unwind and bring on the recession. Then maybe this craziness will subside.<BR/><BR/>I fear the effects will be felt all over the state and perhaps cause economic pain. I think us that have little to no debt and some cash reserves will be able to ride it out. Those who are living towards the edge and in heavy debt will get a severe wake up call.<BR/><BR/>We can thank the Fed,Bankers, and RE industry for this ponzi scheme gone bad. Fast and easy money never comes without eventual consequence. Now, if we all can hold on to our jobs (recession) and sit on our savings we'll be ready once the bottom presents itself. It won't be pleasant on the way there however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
