Finally!

Damn, that sucks. I have heard horror stories about regulations and stupid shit like that. I checked with the owners and turns out they're gear heads too. All they ask is you don't fuck their floor up too bad. Apparently there were a few guys that lived in it before that had a Chevelle or something that they all worked on.

My girlfriend kept finding listings online. I'd call them up, get the basic info, ask what their policies are on working on cars. Turns out not many town homes like that. haha

Yeah every time i have lived in an apartment or townhome they have been dicks about working on cars. The last apartment i lived in i got written up at least 7 times for that shit. Granted, i did paint my entire car, pull the motor, and work on all of my friends cars in that garage. But i was paying $1800 for a 1br 1ba 920 sq ft apartment, i figured i was getting my moneys worth, and they wouldnt do shit as long as i kept paying. Now that we moved to MN, we are renting a 4br 4ba house for 1600. LOL The damn sun tax in california kills ya (and if you think you get paid more in california, you are dead wrong... i make double what i was making in CA.)

^^^Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do! $1800 for a 1br?! Where was this?! Did it come with free hookers and a fully stocked wet bar?

as long as the owners are fine with it and there rules are not as bad as ours here that will be great for you 2.

tpunx99GSX-thanks for the offer but we are looking a a place on 10 acers and has a 6 car garage and a barn in prior lake right now. Other than that I dont give a crap on what they send me in the mail since we are going to move any way

Orange County, California. in Tustin. Its a very nice area dont get me wrong, but the prices there are just insane. Whats funny about the Irvine/Tustin area, is that a company OWNS the two cities. The company is called The Irvine Company, So if you own a house in those two cities, you will NEVER own the land that the house is on. Its all trusted to one family. And i think the average price for houses in those cities is something insane like $600,000.
EDIT: Its $640,000 http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/snapshots/PL0636770.html

That's nuts! I can't believe that's even legal.

California in general is WAY too expensive to live. I have grandparents in San Jose, cousins up in Sacramento, and a few friends in the LA area. And they all say the same thing. It's a beautiful place to live, but it's way too overpriced and over crowded. I always say I wanna move out of state to somewhere warm, but ya know, in some messed up way, I never wanna leave MN.

Yeah i was all for it when i was single and wanting to party. Moved down there and the first 2 years were great, but that shit catches up pretty fast. When we had our son, we were in the $1800 apartment, we paid $1200/mo for daycare. Thats not including any other bills. Talk about trying to keep your head above water, When we got the nice refund check, we put it in savings and said this is our moving money GOOD BYE CA!

A normal garage would be nice. I wasn't that into cars when I bought my condo. I couldn't imagine pulling a motor in the communal garage. haha. Was it a standalone?

Welcome to the neighborhood?

Congrats!

I dont mind apartment living at all, if you live in a nice place. Heated parking and all the other amenities are so nice. Ill eventually have a house, but for now its cheaper to rent.

Congrats thats awesome.
My association is a pain in teh ass about the number of cars and cars without motors but to be fair I think I had 7 to my household alone at one time.
I just tell them to eat shit cause they suck. Never buy a home from sharper homes.
My cousin lives in the lakes too and she has big house and they are under association too, I couldn't have a house and be under an association.

Where is the new place? I didn't see it, even if u posted it up already.
