Anyone else dead slow the last two weeks?

Might as well join the Peace Corp!

Those last two years of grad school were a waste of my life in so many different ways.

Didn't you meet wife #1 at during those last 2 years....

Nope. It signaled the end of wife #1, but ironically, I dated wife #2 once during grad school only to hook up again 15 years later... talk about recycling not being worth it. PS= never trust memory recall on the calculator known as your brain.

You really know how to play the long game....

I was busy for about 7 weeks , and then it dropped off to nothing. As in , no orders in two weeks, a record lull. Wonder if anyone else is experiencing it- could be a fluke -

I made my appointments today. I just so happened to meet the manager like 2 doors down from subject early and said Hi. He was all suited up and I told him something like you are all dressed up for the Lord. He bit the bullet and I told him what I was doing. He said I just started managing this again very recently. He knew all about my subject. He said the seller owes us some money. It is run down condo development. He said we have 53 units and only 16 are paying dues regularly. He is turning it all over to lawyer this week and people are going to start getting notices from lawyer on garnishments, liens, etc.

I told you it was wicked and wasn't going to meet contract price. The subject is in better condition than most with seller selling to father. The manager said he won't be able to sell it unless he pays us back dues. I said I understand Sir. He said it is not personal. It is business. I said I understand Sir. Your lawyer will take care of it. The mortgage company for the buyer had already called him.

I did not even share that with seller. Seller offered me nothing to support contract price.

We have had more than one older condo developments in Shelby County go broke. If the buyer can't work it out with lender and son, the son can rent it out. The ones that have gone broke are mostly 1970ish developments in areas that have seen blight.

And pay $4000 a month rent? Sure. That would be stupid. Why not get paid $18 an hour at Mickey Ds here and pay $800 a month rent, pay $600 a year for insurance and buy gasoline at half the cost in California? Or buy a $200,000 house that has 1800 SF and was built in 2004? The wages in CA reflect the cost of living which is sky high compared to here. As an old Texan told me when he moved here, the neighbor eyed his big truck and said, "What you come here with is ours. What you leave here with is yours." If CA is so great, there wouldn't be every other newcomer here from California.

If you have money California is great and few better places overall. But if your a worker bee and no real money as T would say it sucks putty ball's.

West LA is really expensive but everywhere else is just normal expensive.

I like West LA especially along the beaches.

I would like to visit one day when my budget allows. Can I bring a hippy van to visit? LOL

A person with plenty of money could visit CA a month and not see all the natural wonders in CA.
