I was just trying to point out that it's easy for us youngsters to significantly underestimate how much time we actually spend on real estate, considering all the aspects.

Their focus was completely on child-rearing and just surviving month to month.2.

Of course the project involved adding a masonry addition to the rear of the building within a few feet of an active Elevated (Chicago "L") train line.

The only people to lose money in San Diego RE are those that were over leveraged and had to sell when the prices were depressed. 

Yesterday they found mold and rot in the basement and the contractor on site said they'd likely be tearing out the entire rear wall (interior and exterior) as well as a lot of interior wall area of the unit to make the full repair.  

Property has a 9 car parking lot in rear which I was considering adding a covering for cars and bikes. 

Architect says I can duplex the basement with the first floor but only in the rear building.

There is an alley in back, so I would like to put a rear entry garage / basement.  

If this sounds like a lane you want to know more about, keep reading.Back in the day most of our advertising was done through the phone book ( yes youngsters, we had to go through a book to find a plumber).

It seemed obvious that a crash was coming using the rear view mirror.
