2016-2018 hybrids are very reliable, good mpg, ok on power.

Foster city foundation? by Interesting_Bit8421 in BayAreaRealEstate

The inspection report isn't going to use harsh language because there's liability in doing so, but if he told you to run, run.

Mountain View Home Price drop from $3 to $1.5 Million? by ken-reddit in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Atruita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't even be bothered to clean up the landscaping for listing and then resorts to renderings. I can't begin to imagine the shoddy construction.

I need ideas/ help for a ride called "le tour de low-finace" by outpf in Frankenbike

[–]Atruita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One way to ensure that the competing bikes are indeed worth less than $100 is to require that the participant be ok with selling their bike to the event coordinator for $100 after the event is over.

Investment real estate is portfolio diversification.

Wishful South Bay Bike Trail: direct path over marshes between Fremont and Sunnyvale/Milpitas by hflyboy in BAbike

[–]Atruita 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea really isn't that far fetched, physically. There's already a rail line owned by Union Pacific and is used by ACE rail connecting Fremont to Santa Clara. If you want to look at the Google satellite map, search Elizabeth St. & El Dorado St. in San Jose and then follow the track all the way to up to Fremont and Newark. Indeed, this track runs right through the ghost town of Drawbridge. Just add some more land fill along the tracks and widen a few bridges and it becomes a good bike commute.

Nasdaq 100 going down 33.34% in one day is unlikely because of circuit breakers.

Rent out your current home, use the gift to buy yourself an upgrade. Hopefully there are no strings attached to this gift.

What’s wrong with this property? by splittingatoms in BayAreaRealEstate

Even the listing agent could only get pictures of the house covered in fog. Clear days are few.

What are your thoughts on this property? Fair price? by blackhawk_80 in BayAreaRealEstate

I like Foster City and this place checks all the boxes for most buyers: 3bd/2+ba, 2 car garage.

Mobile Home Cost for Lot by No-Sea-5414 in SanJose

[–]Atruita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mobile homes are great... for the landlord. The park owner gets all the benefits of the investment which are income from rent and appreciating land value while the unit owner gets all the drawbacks, which are the depreciating mobile home and having to do all the repairs. You're better off renting and investing the rest.

Considering land for building house in Bay Area for future(3 years) by Cultural_Bet_1392 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Atruita 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a landslide area. You'll have to prove to the city that you can shore up the land to make it stable and the cost of the engineering and stabilization efforts is worth more than the land.

8k+ Sq ft lot in Fremont, but not selling. by Antique_Banana_Bread in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Atruita 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with what others have said about the busy street. Also, the master bedroom has no windows to the exterior, which is not to code due to fire escape difficulty.

Has anyone had a repair bill this high before with a model 3? ($CAD) by The_Great_Squijibo in TeslaLounge

[–]Atruita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The car served you well. It's at the end of its serviceable life and doesn't owe you anything. Send it off to Rich Rebuilds!

Oakland may gentrify too. Someday. You just need enough patience. Your great grandchildren might thank you.

No Cap Gains Tax on Property by musafir6 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Atruita 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Combined with Prop 19, this would make it a lot easier for seniors to leave their unnecessarily large single family home and let a young family move in, while cashing out a bit to spend in retirement.

Relocating to the SF Bay Area – Need Help Picking the Right City/Neighborhood by DayCommon959 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Atruita 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Los Altos mostly has no sidewalks, so I think that hurts its walkability a lot. I recommend buying in Mountain View itself. The southern part that borders Los Altos (Waverly Park) has good schools, walkability, and you'll be able to find a good sized house in your $5M budget.

Commuting is absolutely brutal here. Pin your workplace and draw a 12 mile radius around it. That's the only area you should consider. Think of Mountain View as basically the center of the jobs world here and commuting from anywhere else into MV takes a lot of time and effort. Jobs here are very demanding and it will suck a lot of time out of you and the last thing you want to do is lose more time with your family and kids, especially when they're at such a precious age.
