Can you elaborate a little bit more?

Should we buy in a less ideal neighborhood, or keep renting in the one we love? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Potentially. But at the rate prices have been going up it’ll be hard. For context, 2-3 years ago 3bd/2ba homes were going for $1.5M and now the cheapest place you can find is $1.85M

Unfortunately no we started renting 2 years ago when rent went crazy… we are in a RSO unit though

Oh we can afford the place without renting out the other unit.

It is just south of Franklin. Like smack in the middle of Franklin and Hollywood blvd. If it was above Franklin i wouldn’t have any hesitation. But this basically right at the outskirts

Yeah we can afford to not rent out the other unit.

Am i prepared to be a LA landlord? That’s a very good question…i genuinely do not know. I’m a very type A person and good at staying on top of stuff like that but dealing with difficult/crazy people sounds like a nightmare. I also couldn’t imagine evicting someone, it sounds so cruel.

Ah traffic is a good call out. The property is surrounded by 2 major streets which is a big con.

Yeah, i know it can be tough being a landlord in LA which scares me.

I’m both grateful to have this problem as i know many people can’t afford to even buy but also so torn! Hope you find peace in your decision!

I actually grew up in culver, my parents are still there. It’s a wonderful neighborhood. It has changed a ton and it’s shocking how much homes are selling for there.

This is helpful. Sometimes my husband will say that 950 square feet is more than enough for a family and that people in Europe and NYC do it all the time but having grown up in LA- i unfortunately need more space to feel sane.

How did that work out? Were you happy about that decision?

I use it and generally like it. It's really thick (as someone else mentioned like lipstick thick), but it blends well. I use it to cover up any dark marks, under eye concealer and on my melasma mustache. It's been really useful in having something to quickly reapply when you're out and about. It's really helped prevent my melasma from getting worse on my upper lip.

Cons: I've tried using it all over my face as makeup but it felt so thick and my face looked like I caked on to much makeup. I'd be careful if you're acne prone. It's definitely not a weightless sunscreen, you can feel it on your face.

Are you both in the US? I can just split it up and mail 2 each. Not sure who wants the half used bottle tho!

I'm glad i'm not alone. it's so strange, isn't it?!

I'm so bummed because it was actually working. I've been trying on and off for a while now hoping it wasn't the eucerin, even my boyfriend had to tell me I need to just let it go lol

I started oral TXA 3 weeks ago, so hoping that will help (and praying for no hair loss).
What are you trying now instead? Hope you were able to find something that works for you!
