    Do you know people who are likely to lose their homes?

    Here are a few I know: 1. They had an ideal life. Husband firefighter, wife an architect. Two grown up boys and a house was paid-off in Downey. Then came the greed. They took en equity on the Downey house, and bought a 8 bedroom, 7 bathroom house in Sierra Madre for the family of four, I...

    How do you have kids here?

    Am currently oscillating between unemployed and ungainfully employed, but DH is bringing the paycheck home. No credit card debt, no car payments, no student loans, but there is a mortgage.

    Nice little short sale opp in Northwood Pointe

    Thanks Socal- I saw my post on the thread too:-) So, does it mean it will end up like that 963 Somerville? I remember it was on market for an year, and the people in the house continued to live there while it was on market, probably(?) rent free. Don't know what happened with that either.

    National Day of Kool-Aid.

    Here is what I suggest: Declare the day the first subprime house was foreclosed as the "National Kool-aid" day, and celebrate that week by giving free coolaid to realtors @ the open house.

    Nice little short sale opp in Northwood Pointe

    This property was on the market sometimes last year for 525k (I think- but very low, something around that number). DH and I loved it, but we were told that there were multiple offers for a larger amount and we didn't bother to put an offer. It was a short sale. Never knew what happened to it...

    Kid's bike for reaonable price

    I got one for DD (8 yrs) from Target too. She was more focused on the colors and characters on the bike than the brakes and the make. But for the younger one, I just ordered through Amazon- it's a mongoose butterfly, and probably the cheapest price for that bike. Amazon, when it has free...

    Marriage as a House

    If it were an Irvine home, can I call my marriage the most over-rated entity in my life? So, we started ground up. We got a raw piece of land but picked rightly to build our dream home. It was very simple when we started out. A few walls to guard our souls, a few windows to let some fresh...
