"Buy a house you like in a neighborhood you want to live in at a price you can afford and treat it like an indestructible piggy bank, not an ATM"
Sean, that is really good advice. In recent year people just shot themselves in the foot. They bought the maximum they could possible qualify for (bad idea - first sign of trouble or job loss or whatever and you're doomed) and then as prices went up they turned that into "wealth". For those of them dont care about ever owning a home again or having a good fico they may have just actually walked away with some coin or even just a few years of splurging on the finer things that they would have never been able to normally afford.
Anyways, keep up the good advice. Its rare I see that coming from Realtors :) :) Now before I get flamed by every realtor on here i just have to say that its not personal but many of you seem to be perma-bulls on housing. Now I know thats somewhat of a job requirement but at some point you have to be honest with yourselves and then with your clients about the grim realities out there. - Wed Jun 11 2008, 22:12
the best schools by far are up in Eastvale which is the new area off of Limonite and the 15. Its not in the city of corona, its unincorporated, but its the corona-norco school district and all beautiful new high end schools have just opened in the past few years. - Wed Jun 11 2008, 21:57
