I like them sneaker buds jojo.

stoked about the big light, your plants will be too. light is a good thing.

Thanks for showing all the love back. It makes me happy. Good to see you PW. And glad the plants were good TC. It's like they grow better when we aren't around either to show off how good they've behaved themselves while we were gone, or to make us feel bad. haha

Crazy shit... I had no idea one could potentially claim ownership of a vacant property through proper squatting techniques. I'm seriously fascinated. Not going to try it, but wow. It's like at the heart of it, the whole idea is what should happen in the world. There is a need for shelter, there is shelter... bam. Two pieces come together to make a whole. Just a shame it doesn't seem very easy.

Thats funny you mention it, this will be the second time this week I've been in a conversation about squatting rights. Almost seems like the only way for us to actually own something.

I remember when we were looking for our first house. The low end of the market was 250K. How the hell were we going to be able to afford a quarter of a million dollars?

We shopped around and found a nice little neighborhood in a sketchy part of town. There was a house with a yard for 159K. We bought it and lived there for eight years while we saved up for a bigger house.

It can be done. You just need to realize that you need to start out small and get the best deal you can get. It helps to be handy or have a friend that can help you remodel. I ran copper pipe, insulated the walls and roof, installed new windows and doors, put on a new roof, built a block wall...

We were going to expand the first house and put in a pool and then we found this house. We fell in love and put all our money and deal making abilities into getting it. We made our first offer in April, and we moved in August.

You can do it - it is hard and takes patience and grit. Be open to trying areas you would consider bad. They have some affordable gems.


Cheers,
Mo

Just saw a 1/2 acre lot on sale in the town I grew up in. Listed for $300,000. DAMN! That's why we want to leave Southern California. It's too expensive here. $60,000 for 5 acres and a house 3 times the size of ours sounds nice.

March Madness and the Cricket 20/20 World Cup. Can't get much better.

[Dr.D81]

yea it pays to live in one of the poorest states sometimes. when i ran my company it was good living.

 

[jigfresh]

My fam just sold off the family business down there. Pretty sad. They had employed like 100 people all around the north west corner of LA and into TX. They had a huge auction for all the heavy equipment. It was a huge construction company. It's a real shame. I hope they all saved some dough for the future. I know they were all ballin when I visited 15 years ago.

We may be able to buy the place we are in. We just aren't certain if we want to commit to being in this state for another 5-7 years. I think it may be what we do though. My landlord is wants 40k, 5k down and then our usual 500 a month right to the principle. I'm honestly not sure exactly how big the place is but it fits us well, 2 bed, one bath, 2 story, full basement. We've got a good size lot and more of its fenced for our daughter to play in. Also has a garage where I can set up a glass work shop . All in all its a good starter home if we can get the strings pulled.

I'm so glad I put those videos up on youtube to help people out, and I'm so glad you followed me to RIU. Almost forgot my name.... aka scrogking.
