I don’t even read stories

/all of us’d

Whoa, whoa, whoa…I don’t even read stories on high school swimmers.

he regales us with the horror stories of the slap-it-up mentality of those development homes.

Seems like homes nowadays are built without wood sheathing, just foam panels, which generally aren’t structural.

Stupid, dorky question: Do you consider the amortization tables when you decide whether or not you should move?

ALWAYS

I’ve never heard of no parking on the street provisions

I used to live in a neighborhood where, under HOA provisions, you were not allowed to park your car in your own driveway. It had to be inside the garage.

Friends Mom flipped a condo in 6 months purchasing at $450,000 sinking $15,000 in and selling for $600,000 something. Friend fixed it up, there is no real weather sealing people just up the heat. Wires were not colour coded, he electrocuted himself twice installing a chandelier. Some wires were live and went no where. He was completely shocked by the callous shoddiness of it all. On top of that the developers sit on the condo boards so even if everything is fucked up the consumer has very little recourse. Idiot finance minister tried to tighten mortgage lending (after losing restrictions 4 years ago) in response to what’s happening. As Kenyes said though “the horse is already out of the barn.” I could see prices dropping to almost zero it’s so bad. Here’s the building.

At least up there you have Mike Holmes to come to the rescue.

Manti Te’o’s dad is angry with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser

He’s just mad that Teo’s other grandma won’t buy the farm to help bolster his draft status.

Rebecca Creskoff and I’ll link. NSFW!!!!!!!!

To the Iphone!

Seems like they have no legal power to enforce that. Time to lawyer up.

I’ve lived in several HOA regulated condos/neighborhoods, some in the city, some outside. I’ve never heard of no parking on the street provisions, no painting the inside of your house certain colors provisions, or anything like that. The worst I ever got from them was when my lawn had some bad fungus rot crap in it and was dying. They sent me a non-threatening letter offering to help me take care of it.

I guess they can mess you up if you don’t pay your dues, though.

you still in St. Augustine? that’s seems pretty high. one house we looked at in Sawgrass several years ago before buying where we did was about $150 a month.

moved up to Jacksonville.

My favorite is from my sisters’ development. House across the street passed final inspection. Buyers had their friend who is an inspector look at it. Saw a large joist on the ground between two homes. Asked what it was doing there and the builder said it was an extra that was shipped by accident. He looks in the attic over the garage, which is attached to the master suite, and sees that there is an entire joist missing from the fucking house. Needless to say, those people didn’t end up buying.

Redhead in Justified, Ntalie Zea, will also be on the new Fox show The Following with Kevin Bacon.

Not who we’re talking about.

Umm…that needs a /No Coop right?

You have just perfectly described the Toronto and Vancouver Condo market. The lesson Canadians learnt from the American crash was that they did not learn anything at all.

I was absolutely amazed at people who just refused to look outside the subs. I haven’t heard from a single one of those people I helped, but I still get random emails from the ones who listened to me. They either want to move up to a bigger home or have friends who need a Realtor. If I had planned on staying in the area after finishing my education degree I would probably have a nice little real estate business on the side.

If the neighborhood keeps, I’ll stay in my current home forever.

I havent really weighted it a ton. My wife and I want a larger single-family home with a yard and some privacy, and with rates where they are and five years equity, the I feel good about putting it on the market if we find another home we like. Different market and I may have taken a longer look at the tables.
