Or when you've got good friends or co workers that time and time again buy a brand new $300k+ single family house to live in on $50k to $60k a year salary, and they show you the house with big smiles asking your opinion on what they should do with all the landscaping or what types of ridiculously expensive art pieces they should buy, or how they want to rip up the brand new porcelain tiles because "the wifey wants new travertine in the brand spankin new house" and all you can do is think about the incredibly terrible "investment" they just made was as I drive off in my 1997 Toyota Tacoma with $270k miles on it, but financially sound.

You certainly can’t claim you are the only “market agnostic” person out there and 15 markets is ridiculous!

LA is ridiculous right now and I'm 1031-ing money from an LA based property for this purchase.

You have GOT to be jokingCompletely ridiculous. 

The supposed owner came by a week or 2 ago to take a look and offered us a $400 discount to redo the job which in my estimation is ridiculous.

You need to be careful where you buy because some communities make you use their management at RIDICULOUS fees!

Some of their houses are ridiculous money ($7-12M) but most of their projects are right around your sq ft pricing.
