Happy Thanksgiving to all of the IHB folks. I agree with Graph. Lots of good people will have problems not directly caused by their own actions. I still chat with a few good friends in the new home industry and most are either already laid off or expecting a layoff. Lets enjoy the...

<blockquote>Unless the law has changed, Massachusetts requires a lawyer to be involved in real estate transactions. I was surprised to learn that this isn?t the case in California. </blockquote> CalGal We don't need lawyers. Real Estate agents can screw up deals without them. ;-)...

<blockquote>I was coming back from the Stockade (gun store in Westminster) with a buddy of mine</blockquote> Sounds like a cover story to me. LOL ;-) Glad to know there is another gun toter here besides Bix. On a serious note when I had various newhome salespeople working for me I...

No_Vas <blockquote>they are building a new track about 10 miles south of Buttonwillow on the 5.</blockquote> What type of track? Whats the name? I hadn't heard about that. I ran a Legends car at Buttonwillow twice. I got that little thing up to about 130 on the long straight and...

Graph and No_Vas Graph I know you follow these things. It is very interesting that <a href="http://www.bakersfield.com/102/story/614964.html">Lennar got behind the power curve on this one.</a> There are various related links there also. No_Vas I think this was in your part of...

<blockquote> IS IT LEGAL FOR A NONE LINCENSE AGENT TO BE AN AGENT, BUT HE OR SHE BROKER HAS LINCENSE,THAT HE OR SHE WORK FOR. </blockquote> What the hell does that mean? Whats the persons name? <a href="http://www2.dre.ca.gov/PublicASP/pplinfo.asp">Did you look it up look it up on the...

No_Vas You got that right.

<blockquote>Could the check have been cashed without being deposited in escrow? </blockquote> awgee I always had the buyer <strong>deliver a check directly to escrow made out to escrow so I or my broker didn't have to deal with trust account issues.</strong> Many agents do it that way...

I have other royal family members who want to invest with you. ;-)

usctrojanman I want in with you. If I need to to put 10K it is no problem. I have a cashiers check for 20K available now and will send it to you. Please immediately wire me the remaining 10K and we will be partners happily ever after. I will give you the number of my bank...

<blockquote>Why does Mr. Happy not write directly to the escrow company?</blockquote> <blockquote>I was thinking the same thing. </blockquote> awgee, Calgal I think Mr. Happy is a put on. Now his Realtor doesn't have a license. What next, the home has a different address...

Trooper I second your feelings. Our BIL/SIL just returned to their home in Olinda Village in Yorba Linda after several days not knowing if they had a home or not. They had 15 min to evacuate when police folks came knocking on their door. Great news is that they do. The firefighters...

18 months ago I sold my house in the high $800K area and took a 20 day all cash offer and put a 20% down offer at 20K more in backup position. I had all contingencies removed in 5 days and $10K released to me from escrow so if they bailed out at least I had 10K. Today I would leave...

Do not sign a Contingency Release document. Upon the date of the contingency removal the listing agent should send you a 24 hour notice to perform. You can respond in writing that you are not releasing any contingencies and want to cancel the offer. There is actually an Offer Rescission...

Good decision.

<blockquote>Graph, Didn?t sound like xsm was defending the practice, just explaining it. Sounds like somebody?s got a case of the Mondays. </blockquote> Thanks IR. I hope my next post explained it better. We should write a song titled "Snarly Monday". But Graph is Graph...

It sounds like ego over logic. Win-Win is usually the route to go. I would not lease to anyone who had a recent eviction on record so you may be causing some harm in acquiring your next rental. Employers may also hold that against you. Good luck

No_Vas I used to watch Hornaday race at Kern County and Orange Show in Southwest Tour and Late Models. Too bad Newman passed Ron on the last lap for the win a couple races ago. That cost Ron 15 points and he lost the title by 7. IMHO the trucks were the best of the 3 series as...

Graph Sorry if I didn't express it correctly. My line of thought was that builders will build what pencils but not what people want. I remember building/selling stacked flats with detached garages when we had to do 3,2,1 buydowns with FHA to get people in starting at $69,990. Since nobody...

No_Vas This might interest you as far as early history of a Nor-Cal track. <a href="http://www.westcapitalraceway.com/">Lots of history on this site with pix and old programs.</a> Are you familiar with Jimmy Gordon and Ernie Purcel who were the good guy bad guy heros of West Sac...
