LOL I am a SoCal native and spent 25 years in Las Vegas prior to coming here so needless to say Kermit is definitely a culture shock! 

You can bet when the banks sell their REOs they will go for FMV or above and also you have the Chinese people to deal with, and they will pay more.Joe Gore

I have been here from SoCal a little over 10 years and still experience culture shock from time to time!).

I believe the people who did the rehab on this house were Chinese.

Must be cool to know every Chinese person...

I really am not so familiar with the South American and Carribean cultures.

The turnaround areas the counter culture/hipsters moved in first.

I have a lot of experience working with clients in all categories from experienced investors all the way to first time buyer/sellers, whether it's with REOs, HUD homes, foreclosures, or regular sales.When I'm not working, you'll find me traveling, at sporting events (even when our teams are horrible), trying out a new restaurant, playing my guitar, going to see some of my favorite classic rock bands in concert, or getting some culture at the different museums around town.If I wasn't a Realtor, I think I would be starting a restaurant or trying to come up with the next big idea to make people's lives easier.I joined BP because I'm interested in networking, finding new clients to work with, and of course continuing my quest for constantly learning new things.If you think I might be a good connection, or at the very least a nice person, then I would love to talk!

In many cultures it is not acceptable for unrelated, unmarried adults of the opposite sex to share accommodations.

The universities and the cultural institutions of the east side drive rents far higher than the west side. $1200/mo for a 2 bed apartment in a (very) desirable east side neighborhood is normal and expected--an equivalent (very desirable) Lakewood apartment is nearly half that.
