They correctly give a F to Santa Barbara. 

If I can not get access to the property, I will assume anything built before 1982 will contain asbestos/lead in common materials (based on my experience there's a 90% chance this is the case).I believe Texas requires any "contractor" performing ASB abatement to have a license, which means Texas has some regulations established regarding removal & disposal.In California, if you are the property owner you can perform the removal/abatement yourself (assuming SFR), the only requirement is that the asbestos waste be bagged up & taken to a designated facility (in my case in Santa Barbara there is a facility at UCSB where homeowners can take the waste at no/minimal charge). 

I'm fairly certain that makes me an outlier in this community, but please hear me out: I currently live in Santa Barbara, CA.

We have several co-working spaces in Santa Barbara however, there is definitely a need for it due to the high level of startups and young entrepreneurs.  

Hi Reuben -  I'm up in Santa Barbara and Carp is a great little beach town.  

@Barbara LatimerI'd think you have a typo in Monthly P&I. $9,101.99 It should probably not be $9k... 

I'm currently going through a rent control eviction in LA and my lawyer is Barbara Craig in San Pedro - she's great.

If you know California, and you know Santa Barbara this is a smoking deal...I think it is at least.

I had a 40 acre orchard in Santa Barbara sold 20 years ago but I've checked and the retired rock star who purchased it has had it on and off the market at incredibly low figures - check 1500 farren rd Goleta ca93117 could make an off Market /private agreement if you'Rare super motivated .

I am looking to meet with folks in the Monterey, Santa Monica, and Santa Barbara areas.
