Foreclosure house is definitely out of the question unless the lender buys it back and markets it (pretty likely). Have come across another house we like that's at the top of the budget (listed by owner, or it would likely be out of budget), but pretty much exactly what we're looking for. It has a pool, though, which I really don't want (wife is OK with it). Won't a pool send insurance premiums through the roof and require a pretty decent amount of annual expense for upkeep?
 
Are you moving closer to your golf course ? This is the most improtant question.
 
I just received some huge accolades from the mod community. Humbling.

Undoubtedly. Shoulder (neck?) is fucked though and golf is miserable these days. Had an EMG nerve test last night where the doctor zapped the shit out of my arm and stuck me with needles.
 
I can't imagine buying a house inside that development at auction without walking through it. Big houses, 25 years old, who knows what's wrong with it.
 
Yeah, our realtor was pretty sure the lender would end up being the highest bid, so maybe we can check it out in REO. I used to work in the default side of the mortgage world coming out of the crash, and saw some crazy stuff from the property inspection photos inside foreclosure homes. Dead pets were the worst. Literal human shit everywhere was probably 2nd worst.

Ha, that's child's play. I know somebody who found a dead body in a closet.

Pool operating expenses don't have to be that great. Around $100 per month if you use a service for cleaning chemicals, filter backflush etc. Less if you DIY the regular upkeep, its cheaper. However, you may have more trouble finding someone to do major repairs. Pump replacement, for instance.
 
I work across the street from a preschool and their playground is on my side of the block so they have to cross over to get there

they travel the 100 feet in a pack with each little kid holding onto a rope and wearing a vest -- takes them like ten minutes

it will never not be adorable and hilarious to me

Lot of places closing around town because of rent and it sucks, especially since a lot of those locations end up being vacant for extended periods of time. I know the bar you're talking about, but never went.

I love it when I see the little kids with the ropes walking around my office. The teachers are often a little frazzled because they're on high alert, but the kids always seems to be happy as shit to be walking around the city with all of the smells and noise and people.

In Japan they are all in matching outfits and baseball caps and it ups the adorable factor by 10x. It’s a bunch of little Ness’s running around.

OFY Ness in Super Smash Bros for 64 was legit. If you mastered the yo-yo smack yourself back onto the battlefield, Ness was super hard to kill.

A few years ago, my friend's lease was up. He was willing to pay double his previous rent as he was in on a fifteen year lease. The owners refused to budge off of quadrupling his rent. He told them to go fuck themselves.

His spot was basically two slots in that strips center. One was empty for about nine months. The other was empty for well over a year. There's no way either paid what the owners demanded from him. Being empty that long will take them years to recoup the losses.
 
there are plenty of shitty bodegas and abandoned storefronts on the six or seven block stretch of georgia ave that could do with developing, and increasing the rents to a crazy degree on one of the most successful spots on that stretch seems so asinine to me but idk
