This one was priced too cheap for some.

The another one (comparable) got price increased for cool $1,000,000.

Hey, Why not?

Why only a $1 million increase? I'd let AF chime in. :)

It's a bit unfortunate that we have to spend so much time and energy concerned with when is the right time to buy, sell, priced out for ever, generational lows, blah blah blah.........do you think this is time well spent?

do you think this is time well spent?

Well, time spent is money spent or saved, whichever way you look at it. Imagine if I wasn't spending that time here I'd have bought in 2006.

The point is we all need a place to live in and it should not be this difficult.

who needs a tax write-off

How much write-off?
House is no more than $400K; rest is land value. Land does not depreciate for tax purposes.

I was going to post this earlier, but I forgot.

We should all get a pool going and buy this POS. We'd all move in and film our own reality show. Bears vs bulls. It would pay itself off in about 2 months.

Is there space for a wrestling ring???

Of course. As well as a yam patch out back, firearms storage lockers, generators and a sound-proof basement with individual cells for imprisoning and torturing realtors.

Out of curiosity I looked around the east bay city I live in at home prices and sales. Its crazy that as of now, apartments are now in many cases going for more than what we paid for our 4 br house 2 years ago. Houses like ours are now 400k more than when we bought. Just absolutely crazy and nonsensical.

Not bad idea. Actually, good film producer can buy this POS and after realty show ends, can flip it over for $3M as a double historical house.

House got a fresh new listing. Slightly reduced.

Well, looks like they will drop it another $100k next week to $1.3M. At what price do you think this property will sell for? I have my number, but want to see some prelim number from patneters first.

Well, based on lot value plus residual value plus improvement $650-$700K.
Based on gross income and expected maintenance costs $1,050K-$1,150K

I would still need to rip out all the cheap home depot improvements and put something nice in it's place.

P.S. Long 500 sh SRS @17.76 for lack of better options

Do you understand how UltraShort funds work? Do you trade frequently?

Not another boring lecture about the decay in the ultra shorts. They are meant to be short term trading vehicles, so just trade them frequently. Still better shorting a sector than shorting any of the "new-tech" trannies that should trade at zero but are levitated in a rotating fashion by a stampede of "hedge-fund managers" chasing that yield.

The October 2013 selling price is prob. closer to fair value.
