About Me

A dabbler would about sum it up. Perhaps, expanding; a tinkerer of life, an enquirer. Previous lives were as a textile worker, an engineer, a layer of management fat, a retailer, a renovator, a real estate bottom fisher... at 50 something I've dabbled and poked at all that has interested me. I keep coming back to real property and the emotions. Fascinating to no end. per Einstein, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Glancer answered:

Now, why would you want to waste everyones time with that cheap spammy marketing? At least offer a little rah rah about how wonderful things are up there. Personally, Me thinks mountain retreats are one reason that nc is tolerable; it puts all the hooty snootys high in the hills so us local city folk have the downtowns to ourselves! Like 4th of July in downtown Greensboro...... nice. Highland Games = hooty snooties - Fri Jul 11 2008, 19:35

Screening Tenants

Asked Mon Jun 23 2008, 21:17 by Durham - Durham - General Area - 3 answers

Glancer answered:

Been there, did not do that. I have landlorded for many years and found that a good application with a boiler clause stating that should falsefied info be used; could result in civil and criminal charges. Seemed all the sites required a potential invasion or security issues, imo. You really want to deter the bad risks, and like a nice restraurant, they have ways to keep out the riff-raft without crossing the line. An application fee, is powerful, too...You could require them to submit a credit score. BUT, bear in mind good folks go bad. I had a sparklin lawyer, loose his job, try to stiff me.. SO, the defaulting has to be TIPTOP, for eviction. - Tue Jun 24 2008, 05:25

FedEx on the skids. Maybe they will not open Greensboro center....

Asked Wed Jun 18 2008, 12:51 by walt - Greensboro - Market Conditions - 3 answers

Glancer answered:

Walt, I'll have to go with Larry on that call. Although I might add that you raise a great point, it could happen. If it does, then a major slide could be precipitated.

For myself, I look for the continued success of RFMD, Analog Devices, Dell and other tech plays as being the real impetus for a strong base for the future. Transportation and distribution is expected and rather low paying. - Wed Jun 18 2008, 19:24

Is real estate in the Triangle overpriced?

Asked Sat Jun 14 2008, 13:20 by Eric - Raleigh - Home Buying - 3 answers

Glancer answered:

Underlying all real estate values, imo, is sustainability. The water crises has tremendous potential to erode the triad and all southeastern values. The triad is in a most precarious position, in this respect.

Likewise, jobs and companies looking to relocate will weight this into their decisions; thus, a prudent decision would be to steer away, except for industries like trucking, which spell poor quality of life.

So, if you like trailors, trucks and the such;perhaps the prognosis is good.

Will RFMD and other new industry be able to make a stay. Not imo. The world is a different competitive place. - Wed Jun 18 2008, 08:35
