I tried to go to Foothill Community College and I was even in their Fire Department as a volunteer to help pay for it when a Councelor called me into her office to ask me what I wanted to go to College for?

I waited tables HS and college.

BZA is backed up five months so it takes around 6-8 months to get a building permit if BZA approval is required.

I asked the city if any permits were pulled or inspections done in regards to the water and they said no.

@Irving Garcia, I also live in San Diego and love to brainstorm and seek opportunity for a ground up new construction, which is fiercely competitive now days and challenging with an uptick in material cost and scarcity, but a firm believer of old saying “there is way when there is a Will”,,,, I knew of an opportunity in Old Del Mar, just the beginning of the year, that a house with 1,100 SF’ building on an approximately 9,000 SF’ land sold for $2.375m that after demolishing the building could build up to 4,000 SF’ and and potentially sell for $1800 per SF,, although very lengthy and challenging project going through city and coastal permits but at the end leaves respectable margins!

If so, the lead time from start to finish after land acquisition will be about one year with most of that time used for permitting.

It is also in the historic district in any changes to the home will require pulling a permit and may be more difficult.I still think it could be a good deal and best of luck!

In order for you to add that kitchen you’re going to need to get solid contractors and you will certainly need city permits.  

She is very nice, polite and has a good job and is going back to college to better herself for her and her child. 

Since the prices of homes are so high in California, purchase a home you can afford with your pre-approval letter with the most bedrooms you can find, then you live in the master and rent the other rooms out to college students, young professionals, single people, etc.This will help you break even for your mortgage payment/could potentially make money each month.
