Hmmm not paying your mortgage but enriching yourself with rental payments.
But the price is fixing it. It was more of a turkey than a dog when it was at $1.175 last summer.
Now that they threw in the towel and are going for a short sale, $950,000 is much better.
1. The master is down with the other bedrooms are upstairs, which doesn’t sound that bad until you try to sell – buyers today don’t like that set-up.
2. It has a white kitchen with pink-ish granite, not neutral.
3. It has a big slope up in back, and a large pool – two items that are neutral at best, but for many buyers one or both are a negative.
4. Being a short-sale is another negative, buyers have had their fill. Look at the one on GG, now down to $899,000 and still looking for someone to pay the negotiator fee and an undetermined amount of cash to the second lien holder.

Funny how the landlord is calling the tenant a “deadbeat” and “ghetto.” Seems she hasn’t looked in the mirror much.
As far as I’m concerned, if the LL goes into default, the tenant should stop paying. There is no justification for the LL to be making money when they are defaulting on their own mortgage, and the tenant is the one who will have the hardship of moving, etc.
That LL needs to go to jail, not the tenant. What a piece of work.

“Hmmm not paying your mortgage but enriching yourself with rental payments.”
Exactly. Why didn’t the genius news talkers ask her why she hasn’t applied the paid rent to attempt to avoid losing the property.
… and yes, a property owner can be charged with trespassing on “their” property. The tenant has the right to possession— that is what they are paying for.

if my landlord were to default it would be the last rent check he evergot from me
“8.Funny how the landlord is calling the tenant a “deadbeat” and “ghetto.” Seems she hasn’t looked in the mirror much.” Easy there, CA renter. That strikes me as borderline.
I’m not sure she would be in jail in Cali. If it is indeed her house, then she can paint it however she wants. As long as she doesn’t break in or commit other crimes against the tenants, then fine.
Now, she could be subject to civil suits for various defamation claims, and possible a real estate claim for preventing quiet enjoyment. But, the remedy for the latter is probably equal to the rent, so…..

Former,
I’m not saying it *is* the law (it isn’t), just saying it *should* be, IMHO.
Sorry, but that LL is a piece of trash.

BTW, if you’re alluding to it being borderline “racist,” it’s not. She’s the one who used those terms to describe her tenant because the tenant wasn’t paying her rent. Even worse, she’s trying to scam the renter into paying rent on top of it! I’m saying that if not paying rent is what makes her tenant a “deadbeat” and “ghetto,” then those terms would define her as well since she’s not paying her mortgage. The LL is the one who is trying to get something for nothing, while the tenant is trying to save money for moving expenses…and she should not have to pay the deadbeat LL, IMO. The tenant is the one dealing with the hardship and the LL has the audacity to call her names. She’s sick.
Beyond words…

Jim, can you give me your opinion on this listing in CV? http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/4889-Drakewood-Ter-92130/home/4473437
Only 950k. Are the clouds starting to form in CV?
There are very few clouds in CV, still mostly sunny.
That house is a dog, it even barks at traffic.
