If you have already conceded that you’ll be spending $100,000 to fix the house you buy, and you’ve narrowed the search down to a single-level home over 3,000 sf with some kind of view for less than $1,000,000 around Rancho Santa Fe, then this might be an idea for you:

A notary who was set to be sentenced for her part in a massive foreclosure fraud investigation was found dead in her Las Vegas home Monday.
Tracy Lawrence, 43, had pleaded guilty to one count of notarizing the signature of an individual not in her presence, a misdemeanor with a potential prison sentence of up to one year, as well as a fine of up to $2,000.
Lawrence had pleaded guilty to participating in an alleged scheme being investigated by the Nevada attorney general’s office in which tens of thousands of fraudulent documents were filed between 2005 and 2008 with the Clark County Recorder’s Office. Two Orange County residents have been indicted in that investigation, accused of directing the operation.
Lawrence was scheduled to appear before a judge at 8:30 a.m. Monday. When she did not appear, investigators with the attorney general’s office visited her home and found her dead, said Jennifer Lopez, a spokeswoman with the office of Nevada Atty. Gen. Catherine Cortez Masto.
Officer Jacinto Rivera, a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department spokesman, said that Lawrence’s death was not being investigated as a homicide.
If I bought that house would I have to drive a white Ferrari Testarossa and wear a pastel t-shirt under a sport jacket?
A shame about that notary…sold her life for a little fraud money. 🙁
Nice video. Seems like a great deal. Zillow values the place over $1M.
Btw… my wife used to wear her Bubbleinfo shirt on our weekend PB beach walks. But I got tired of all the young studs hitting on her. Last weekend she wore a neighbor’s mortgage broker shirt. Nobody came anywhere near us!
This one will easily require more than 100k to renovate. That floor plan is a mess.
The correct terminology to use these days is “adjacent”. For example, this property is “Rancho Adjacent”. I picked up on this the last time I was in LA. People were saying things like “Brentwood Adjacent” to describe where they lived.
Lastly, Swallow Lane in La Costa has Bareback Square beat by a mile for the double entendre.
$505 for HOA. What the heck do you get for that amount? They should wash your car and clean your house every week for that much. Crazy!
Great house. I also like the little tiles in the bathroom.

BTW, I loved a couple houses on “Morning Wood Lane” here in Laguna Niguel. Very cool Chris Abel designed homes there, but not sure if I could get past the name to tell people where I lived.
Here’s one I liked to prove it’s a real street:

Morning?! Heh, never mind…Swallow lane just fell to second.
I wonder if there is a list or resource of the Worst Street names?
Nice house on Morning Wood. Funny about the street name. Wish we could buy nice homes like that one in SD County for that price.
