That guy man. I got to hang out with him late at Tony's over a couple brown waters, also in Atlanta briefly. He doesn't turn it off just turns it down for a bit. Always selling something, I'd be interested to see what he is currently invested in. Orange leaf still around or nah?

As a young professional (no political operative) in the mkt, the lex real estate mkt is in fact strange AF. Want an actual brick house without a neighbor on your front step, good luck staying under 300k.

If the foundation has been "fixed" everyone in the neighborhood would know because of the distractions those fixing it would cause.

The quick sale, non warranty is a red flag because they want no liability and probably just fixed something and hope to bounce while it still is intact.

I'd ask if it's known who built it.

Think it has a lot to do with kids. If your kids are playing together, go to school together, participate in the same activities together, then you're going to be going in and out of your neighbors' houses. Whereas with no kids, I think I've been into about 5 of my neighbors houses. Couldn't tell you what the house across the street looks like on the inside at all.

I have a hosta going in the ground soon that is supposed to grow as tall as you, BBdK.

You might be a redneck if your house is as big as your lot.

*Seems like a ton of newer, larger homes have very small lots. Mostly due to older generation being able to afford them yet don't want the upkeep a large yard entails.

*We have nosy *** neighbors too that wanting nothing more than to find a violation of our neighborhood association rules....and there are a ton of them.

*Working today. End of each month is a *****. Buyers in San Fran have to get their bonuses which are tied to sales. Makes for a ****** day at the office.

*Hoping to schedule a trip back to Cali soon to get a lay of the land. Houses in the area I would be working aren't as bad as I was expecting. Still looking at over 500k for a decent home in a good area. Talk of moving some business to Louisville...I'd much rather that happen than me having to move...Although living between LA and San Diego does give me a bit of a chubby.

*If the move doesn't work out, we will be selling and downsizing within the next couple of years. House we have now we don't even use parts of it. Kind of a waste. May end up building ----Looking at you '73.

*Damn, Ed. Loved that dude. Outside of Kenny Walker and Winston Bennett, he's probably one of my first memorable UK players. Goggles up!

Talked to a friend of mine a few weeks ago about Cali as I was considering given the tech sector and opportunities out there. He's been out there a couple of years with his wife and kids. Lives near LA. Told me their rent is $5000/mo, food is 50% more, utilities are 1/3 more, and he pays a ton more in state taxes.

I used to own our development relationship with Apple so I would go out to Cupertino frequently. Outside their cafeteria was a wall where employees could post anything. I was always shocked at the number of people seeking a roommate and to split the rent it was $2500 each. Crazy.

I'd love to live out there from a tech standpoint, job opportunity, and just being around constant innovation, but it just doesn't seem worth it.

State tax is something like 13%,

Good thing about where I would be looking is it's outside of Orange county where homes are still inflated, but not at those levels.

We have a lady that's just under the VP that comes in from Oakland/Bay area and says she needs a roommate to afford her apartment.

That's crazy. I can't imagine being at a director or jr. vp level and having to have a roommate to afford an apartment. I realize that's what they're used to out in that area but damn. Can they even afford to save for anything else, like retirement. I think for a lot of houses they just pay the interest, never the principal.

A former co-worker came from Silicon Valley and I asked him about it. He said that's why everyone is so fixated on stock prices. They want the company to go public or for the stock to hit certain prices so that they can cash in their equity so they actually have money to do things with. His commute was also 2 hours each way.

Shhhhh....there is a truck in a known drug area that's driven down the street three times. It could be drugs, weapons, or human trafficing. We can't wait...we are going to approach.

Well, turns out it was a taco truck driver going to and from the agricultural district.

Maybe next time.....

Your opinion is stupid, especially in regards to Freddy's over Whataburger. Just GTFO of that state and move to North Dakota or Idaho where I'm sure internet access is limited.

Wow. Genuinely upset about a fast food opinion.

Whataburger is fine. Better than any other outside of Freddy's.

Top CA rate is 12.3%, but that's on income over a mil. Seems nuts. NYC is just as bad. Top state rate is 8.8%, then city top rate is 3.9%, and the 3.9% kicks in at "only" $500k, but 3.7% kicks in at $50k, so they are hosing pretty much everyone. 12.7% - BARF. At least below a mil, the state rate drops to 6.85%, so you are only getting hosed for 10.7% for your money under a mil.

What's super ******** is that all those taxes apply to dividends and cap gains as well. Horseshit. On top of freaking Obama taking cap gains from 15 to 23.8% to fund his ******** HC. If you want to liquidate your investment portfolio, it actually makes sense to move to Texas or Florida. I'm sure that was Chief's strategy. I will absolutely 'retire' in one of those two states (or one with similar tax structure). Otherwise you are throwing away 10%+ of your investment portfolio (non 401k).

Sorry for the taxes talk GYERO

Don't Florida and Texas make some back on higher property taxes? Kind of what I've heard.

Awesome dinner last night at Tony's. Went with Anth's rec and got the Sir Barton, was phenom. Just a great time, server was funny. Knew it was gonna be a good night when she asked me, "How dirty would you like that martini???"

Happy Birthday Anth.

Reading through the picks seems like the NFL draft has been good for the state with UofL, EKU, and WKU all having players go in the first 4 rounds. Really is embarrassing being a UK football fan.

Looking forward to the NBA playoffs finally getting started tonight with Spurs/Thunder. Think Spurs take it, but should be an entertaining series.

I think Florida did away with the property tax on investment prop (stocks, etc). Not sure about Texas.

On my cruise last week, I got up on stage in full (fat) Elvis attire and sang with the house band and dancers. They assigned one dancer to walk me through the routine, and there's no doubt in my mind that she's the hottest girl I've ever encountered in my life. Tall, Australian accent, and yoga pants.

The internet is amazing.

The Inland Empire area has grown like crazy in the last 20 years. Used to be tons of open space, now it's filled with neighborhoods. Housing prices are way higher than in KY but well below what you'd pay in LA or OC or San Diego (anywhere closer to the coast). People here in San Diego were buying houses up there 10-15 years ago to get a much bigger house and lower prices. And then they have an hour + commute each way every day.

Pros to the area you're talking about: Nice winters, three mountain ranges within an hour drive that all have snow in the winter, while you'll be basking in the 60 degree range. Two of those mountain ranges have ski areas. Deserts less than an hour away with golf courses everywhere (but many are very pricey). Also you'll be close to LA and San Diego (just over an hour drive) and Orange County.

Cons: Crowded. Bad traffic. Expensive. TERRIBLE air quality in the summers, which are hot, dry, dusty, and smoggy there. Those mountain ranges that look so beautiful in the winter? You'll barely be able to see them in the summer.

If I've learned anything from House Hunters, it's that the closer you get to the city center, the more expensive the homes get (and the prices go up depending on how big the cities are) TIFWIW.

Maybe krazy can break it down further for us as a real estate insider, but that's the gist I get. Hope this helps.
