The odds of the Switzerland thing happening just went from 80% to about 20%. So now I'm looking at 1br rentals with garages. A studio might also work.

Any ideas? Thoughts? Advice? Leads?

Landlords: I am high-FICO, six years with the same employer, many thousands in the bank, clean rental history, no criminal record, have no pets, and can sign for a full year.

You want me to send you some MLS rental listings? Or are you looking for an IAC apartment?
 
I'll definitely consider private rentals but the LL is going to get the third degree. If they are genuine move-up buyers with a condo that cash flows, I'll consider them. If they are genuine property investors with a condo that cash flows, I'll consider them. If they are stuck flippers who are $80k underwater on a 2006 "can't lose" sweet condo purchase, I won't consider them. Actually I will, but only long enough to extract some schadenfreude.

Yes, IAC rentals and the like are mainly what I had in mind.

Oak Glen. 1 bd with detached garage, washer/dryer in unit, fridge for 1290 right now. Downside is small (500 sf) floorplan. But it's a true 1 bd not a studio.

Check out Enclave over by South Coast Plaza...they are going for $1,385 for a 700sf 1-bedroom plus you get 6 weeks free rent with a 14 month lease. I might move there if they have that special in the fall.

$1290 is impressive. I think these were $1400+ a year ago.

Yeah, the Jr. 1-bedrooms are getting down around $1,300/mo in most of the IAC properties.
 
I'm seeing some of the basic 2/1's come down to the 2007 price point of the mid-level 1/1's. Wow, I could afford a second bedroom and have enough money left over for Del Taco!

Dunno what I'd do with it... :red:

Do you need instructions? :coolhmm:
 
I'm currently @ Estancia and it's pretty nice. I'm not completely sure the 1br has a Garage (I live in a 3br and it does) but the location and area are pretty good. Close proximity to tustin marketplace and a walkable supermarket (samurai Albertsons...)
