"Jim the Realtor is legit - I interviewed three brokers; he said list price should be $100,000 higher than the other two brokers; listed it with him and had all cash (no financing) offer in two days, five day contingency period, closing in two weeks - and it closed at his recommended list price. I could not recommend anyone more than I recommend Jim the Realtor. more "

"When we moved to San Diego in 2005 we rented a big house on Mt. Soledad (La Jolla) with 180 degree ocean views for the same payment as a mortgage on a dump in Chula Vista. Clearly something was wrong. Yet, the media was full of the usual happy-talk nonsense, so I was glad to find Jim's blog. I've followed his honest assessments and data since. more "

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge made the sale of our condo extraordinarily easy. They know the market and gave us sound advice backed by details and very considerable experience, reflected both in the initial pricing and subsequent negotiations. They work together as a team and are always available to talk. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

Nice Caddy, gramps! 🙂
Deep down, you know you’ll have a blast being a grandfather!
Hey, where are the flyers?
“You should live here. You should move here.”
I don’t think California’s problem lies in the number of people that WANT to live here. I think it comes down to the number of people that can afford to live here.
The invisible hand has already weeded out those who want to live but can’t afford to do so reasonably.

I recognize Neptune Ave when I see it. I want to live there! I want to move there! I’m just working on the million. By the time I get a million, Jim will definitely be a grandfather.
Filming while driving backwards? What about filming in the damned rear-view mirror while driving! You’re a wild-and-crazy guy!!!
Seriously, calling any of these places “investment properties” is a joke, unless the point of an investment is losing money. You’d have to put 50% down just to get to 10x. Sheesh.
I’ve mentioned my house in Riverside before. In May 09, I paid $150k for a 4 bedroom/2 full bath, 1,800 square foot house, .2 acre lot, oversized 2 car garage (basically a 3 car, but the door and driveway is only 2 car sized with room off to the side for storage or a shop), huge family room (30’x15′), seperate living room, central A/C. It could easily rent for $1,500 a month (1% of the sold price), probably more. Multi-unit properties occasionally pencil out even better out here.
If you are buying rental properties any closer to the beach than here, you are basically counting on the appreciation alone. They almost never pencil out otherwise, in my amateur opinion.
