I know that Rob follows CA munis. <br /><br />What's going to happen to the muni market in CA if the state goes bust and the local governments are forced to cover all sorts of expenses unexpectedly? <br /><br />CA's situation has implications for the entire nation, most especially when we start talking wildly of green shoots.MaxedOutMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011469804162511617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-10810410620621423982009-05-19T17:38:28.146-07:002009-05-19T17:38:28.146-07:00Aren't you going to do an election special Rob...Aren't you going to do an election special Rob ?

Between interest in a CD and the tax benefit it would not take much to make up the shortfall but the upside could be pretty good.whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180422369180931361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-12182172979529653172009-05-19T15:18:26.537-07:002009-05-19T15:18:26.537-07:00Most homes in that 213k range are gonna need 5-10k...Most homes in that 213k range are gonna need 5-10k a year of work to rehab them.

Blank look. So I ask her what the Charlotte County median HOUSEHOLD income is...she didn't have a clue.<br /><br />So I told her. 33K. Most likely less since the implosion.<br /><br />The look I got was priceless. It is gonna be a long,hot summer here in FL. Oh,prices will continue to crash. <br /><br />I found out after arriving the auction was not an "Absolute". Owner had 24hrs. to reject the high bid. He did. 23K. This lot started at 175K on the MLS. Now listed at 46K. I think the cash out refi is in the 140ish range.<br />It is realistically worth 12-15K. <br /><br />Hey Rob...<br /><br />Keep em wound up over on CR...I just don't have time anymore. <br /><br />ChrisCobradriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016984368220523417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-6394906526554902352009-05-19T12:26:00.000-07:002009-05-19T12:26:00.000-07:00"turning tricks" comes to mind."turning tricks" comes to mind.Jean ValJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415115686001808051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-27566387927168444902009-05-19T11:49:00.000-07:002009-05-19T11:49:00.000-07:00Anyone want to guess where Serin's coming up with ...Anyone want to guess where Serin's coming up with the money to buy an RV, a second van (!!), all while renting his own studio apartment in downtown Sacramento *and* supposedly chiseling away at his debts?<br /><br />Surely the two-bit operation he's "working" for can't be paying him that well...averagerainfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16041138038155100450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-67972441289794904002009-05-19T10:51:00.000-07:002009-05-19T10:51:00.000-07:00$1280 a month for a housing payment?

Here in D.C., $1280 a month covers the payment on the front closet.<br /><br />(But I have to give them credit for using realistic numbers--$38k is much more likely to be the actual houshold income for a first-time buyer than the $120k++ numbers that real estate professionals sometimes kick around, as if every family were two working professionals with college degrees.)Peripheral Visionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489447120517274000noreply@blogger.com
