11/1    I was kind of surprised to find out that JFK jr. lived in an
        APARTMENT in NYC. Does anyone know if he owns property? With
        all the $ he has, I'd expect him to own jumbo jets and huge property
           \_ who let this moron into CSUA? We have better things to do
              then gossip about celebs who you will NEVER meet, never sleep
              with, and never spend one moment of their f.u. lives thinking
              about you. And besides, you ever lived in NYC, you know how
              how much his "apartment" cost?
        \_ What's wrong with an apartment? I'd rather live in a small apartment
        in NYC than in a big house with a yard and a white picket fence
        out in the suburbs.
                \_ Ah, yes!  The joy of being young and foolish and full of
                   one's self and opposed to all that one can't have!  Down
                   with The Man!  Rise up, America's Youth!  Fight the good
                   fight against your elders!  Oppose all those over 30!!!
                   RIDE BIKE!  USE LINUX!  HATE MICROSOFT!  YES!  YES!  CAN
                   YOU *FEEL* THE GOOD VIBES!!  OOOOH!  Death to happiness!
                   Up with sour grapes!
        \_ you know you can own the apartment you live in.
           \_ is it still an apartment if you own it?

8/1     Suppose your house is already paid off and you retire at 65.
        How much expense does one expect to spend a year, in the Bay
        Area? Property tax will be about $10K/year for a modest $850K
        home. What about other stuff?
        \_ I think at age 65, health insurance is the next biggest expense.
        \_ I am thinking that we can have a nice middle class

7[31    Suppose you have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning
        minimum interest rate and you're not sure whether you're going to
        buy a house in 1-5 years. Should one put that money in a more
        risky place like Vanguard ETFs and index funds, given that the
        horizon is only 1-5 years?
        \_ I have a very similar problem, in that I have a bunch of cash

6/3     Why are "real estate" and "real property" called so?  Does the part
        "real" mean something like "not fake"?
        \- without going into a long discourse into common law,
           it is to distinguish land/fixed property from intangible
           property [like a patent] and movable, personal property,
           like your car. Real property has historically had special

3/10    I'm trying to help my parents, in their mortgage there's an
        "escrow" amount. What exactly is this? From reading Google,
        the loan company uses the escrow account to pay for home
        insurance, but they've been paying home insurance themselves.
        I'm really confused on what this fee is.
        \_ Without an escrow account, you write checks to your insurance

2/19    I just realized that my real estate broker has a PhD in plant
        molecular cell biology from an Ivy League school in the mid 70s.
        Now she has to deal with a bunch of young dot-comers, and they're
        pain in the ass.                        -Only a BS in EEC$
        \_ My agent used to be a hardware engineer.  He switched to real estate
           when he got laid off during the 80's.  Now he's doing very well.
