“Some deaf people are really gonna make out nice.”
I’d like to have a constructive comment here, but I’m still laughing at this one.
Great song choice at the end! 🙂
Why would the neighbor buy the second on the first house?

Mahalo, The Blur, you saved me typing those exact words!
“No extra charge!” (JtR)
Gee, you’re on a comedy roll, Jim. With me cracking up, I’m more than impressed that you can be so funny on a Monday morning at 6:22 am.
And that sunset! Wow! Just WOW! Does San Diego have a “green flash” like my favorite place on the planet–Hawaii? Maybe I should widen my search for my last home to San Diego…
And I echo Foothill Matt’s question. Why, why, why, JtR?
I predict this new found enthusiasm for homes in s. california will not end well.
Condos are a horrible investment.They only look good when nothing else is affordable.
“Condos are a horrible investment.”
Ain’t that the truth. I can see why the idea of communal living is appealing in some circumstances, no yard to mow, repairman on call 24/7, etc… But why on earth would you not just rent?
San Diego has a Green Flash. It is less frequent and usually not as distinct as one in Hawaii, or other low latitude locations.

Maybe he bought it for a very small sum and is hoping to cash in on any loan mod? Or maybe it’s worth more to him to not have a (potentially loud and/or annoying) neighbor for a year or so than the cost of the second. (That is, he bought it so he delay the next door house from being occupied for awhile so he could have some peace and quiet.)
Whatever the specific reason, I approve of these shenanigans. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, somebody throws a new wrench in the works.
If you are prepared to reinstate the first trust deed, and foreclose on the second, buying a second, especially at a discount, can make sense as a way to acquire a property “subject to” the existing financing.
It does not make any sense though if there is no equity in the property over and above the first.
For those of you pooh pooh-ing condos, the two Encinitas condos my wife and I purchased and then turned into rentals when we moved up to a SFR turned out to be some of the best investments we ever made.
If it were 1973, Peter Grant would appear and shake you down for royalties for showing that clip.
Best time of year for sunsets.
Very lame for blocking me at YouTube, Jim, for leaving the comment…
“lambs to the slaughter”
People paying too much with mello roos while there is still way too much uncertainty in the economy, dollar, and impending ARM debacle, are in fact lambs heading for a slaughter.
But, it’s your prerogative, and no great loss. I’ll remove your link from my site. Good luck to you.
The horror.
4th street amirite?
Freeway noise or not, that Leucadia house looks beautiful. Those of us from LA are desensitized anyway.
“For those of you pooh pooh-ing condos”
I got that spiel too when I bot my first condo. It was in Aptos,ca. about 1/2 mile from beach,but no views. That condo is now worth more than my primary non attached residence that is 3x as big but in not as good location.
If I had known better I woulda bot this in the early 90’s for the same price as my Aptos condo : http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-090066817-940_Sealane_Dr_2_Encinitas_CA_92024 tho I don’t know if I coulda stomached the HOA : )
Aren’t some of the buildings on Sealane falling off the cliff? I think someone was mentioning a second building (?) with some problems just the other day.
For those who are not familiar with the coastal “bluff” homes, be very careful, as they have been known to fall off the cliff.
Apologies for the OT, but:
Has anyone else been getting crazy SDGE bills lately? Last month they wanted $600 and this month they want $350. There’s no way heating our little house can cost that much.
Genius, sometimes meter reading can get off by a digit or two. Call SDGE and ask them to send someone out to re-check your meter. Also ask for an in-person home energy audit, the utilities have stopped advertising these and tried to push people to less labor-intensive online solutions, but they will send someone out if you harass them enough.
Genius… I have a similar situation. Gas seems to be OK but electric isn’t. SDG&E came over and replaced the meter. Let’s see what next month brings…
Perhaps the recent install of all those so called “smart” meters is the culprit.
My folks had a huge SDG&E bill as well. I’m guessing it has to do with the new meters too.

I almost rented one of those units on Sealane. Seems like it was going for about $2700/mo.
