long beach: Drill down on Location - 05/20/20 11:26 AM
Location, Location, Location!
 
It is generally considered good wisdom to buy the worst house in a highly-valued neighborhood. 
BUT if you drill down a little further, not all low-priced properties in a good neighborhood have good value. If the house lies on a busy street or has some other factor that makes the location undesirable; it should come with a warning label. In fact, it probably does in the guise of disclosure forms!  If you want the value of the neighborhood to lift up the value of a property; choose wisely. The busy street and the accident prone corner are going to drag … (0 comments)

long beach: NOEL, No L, and Tales of me and the Other Janet - 12/16/19 11:51 AM

long beach: Hell Script vs Hell of a Script - 11/06/19 12:46 PM
When my Mother passed away, I called AOL to cancel her email account.

“No, she won’t need it. She passed away.”
