For me it's related to the retirement thread. We'd like to downsize or move to a lower rent district to get rid of the mortgage. So I'm always looking.

This one's a little outside my geogrpahic range but I thought I'd share it here for you guys/gals/whatevers. Seems like a great opportunity ....or not. Maybe for a flip. Or for people who like to hit their heads on piers...

I take umbrage with that attitude. I, instead, would be thinking you could throw $100,000-$200,000 into it and have a home within minutes of surf in Southern Ca for under $600,000 (for some reason the link I put up does not show the price but my email alert shows $400,000). If you've been looking for homes in coastal so cal....

I bristle when realtors in my neighborhood list the old 1920's bungalows as teardowns. Inspired me to become a city commissioner (historic preservation). Do whatever I can to save them from becoming 2-3 on a lot, pseudo spanish stucco monstrosities.

Looks like the structure could be decent, hard to tell from that singular photo. Looks like at least it would be a total Reno of the in and outside. could possibly be done for less than 200k if you’re ready to do some of the work yourself. was overseas for most of the year but heard building materials were going through the roof. Maybe better to wait for another financial collapse, shouldn’t be that far off.

I dunno. There are a lot less bad loans floating around this time around. Plus there is a lot of cash on the sidelines waiting to buy up desirable coastal real estate in the event of a dip. If/when there is a correction, it will be nothing like 2008 for the top zip codes.

That home is at the base of the La Conchita mudslide. Neighboring homes are literally underground or partially buried.:drowning:

Agreed, but who’s going to stop it? :drowning:
Even if it stops, there’s plenty of smart money out there that’s been saving who will pounce.
it will stop, already has been decided by your overlords. marks these words, within the next 6 months there will be a financial collapse. the rug will be pulled and many gonna fall flat on their face.

You are not far off. It won't be an apocalypse but it is slowing down in some areas. Per my wife, Zillo is sitting on a load of properties that they over paid for and are going to be in deep $hit with at some point.
