Fuck. That might be the cheapest in the country combined with the lack of assessments keeping up with real market value... No wonder everyone wants to own CA property.

Don't sell it Max, rent it out.

Splitting rent there drops my payment about $350/month too. And it’s the same PM company I’m renting from now and they’re cool with large dogs, so this is likely going to happen.

Ours is 25 years old time to replace it. I think the cold water dip tube is gone inside the unit because water at the tap will oscillate between hot and cold. So I'm wondering if it's worth it to go tankless. Something to keep in mind, the exhaust is what it is, I can't exactly upgrade the exhaust size at all because it goes to a common chimney tied to the boiler. It's like 4" or something.

Also, do I need an expansion tank on the cold inlet line to the water heater? Currently doesn't have one.

Philly home show is this weekend. We're going to get bathroom remodel ideas.

Side note: Lisa got puppy to use the litter box regularly. So all the dog pee is now concentrated on the tiny alleyway thing on the side of the house. WIN. We might have a real backyard this year.

We found another 2bed 2bath with a garage, two reserved driveway parking spots, a little patio in front, a private patio/storage area in the back, and central AC from the same company for slightly less since it's a little older and not quite as nice as the first one. $2300/month Michelle went to look at it Monday and liked it so put down a $200 holding fee, then I went last night to look with her and we agreed to rent it. They need to fix a few things before we move in on the 22nd, but overall it's nice. Condos that were converted into apartments by this company, so the ceiling in the living area is nice a high. Kitchen is a little small, but workable and has a little dining area separating it from the living room. Lots of storage which I'm missing now, two big overhead (overhood) things in the garage, caot closet when you walk in, cupboards in the hallways, and a little built in desk nook in the living/dining area.

We'll probably get one of those faux grass pee box things for the dogs in the back patio/walkway thing, and put a doggie door in the sliding glass door that leads out there.

Only thing I don't love is the closets are all sliding mirror doors, even the coat closet when you walk in the front door. Bedroom one is cool for I guess, but I'll probably take those down and hang solid ones and just store the mirror ones or something.

I'll post up some pics when we get the keys on the 22nd since they already took the listing down.

Dude pricing out here sucks. As soon as Michelle is done with her licensing program I'm going to be pushing for us to GTFO of San Diego specifically and all of California hopefully.

I pay $1495 for a 450sqft 1 bed 1 bath place right now Of course having the dogs make those prices higher than they would be by a few hundred since it's hard to find places that allow large "agressive" breed dogs.

Yea, the street name alone is a non-starter. I feel dumber just reading that, can't imagine living there.
