5/27    Here is something to do for fun. Guess how much the following
        Santa Monica property sells for, and what can you say about
        West Los Angeles housing vs. Bay Area housing:
        http://hhlldevelopment.com/126Pacific.html
        \_ I'm guessing $1.5-2 mil, and if you didn't already know, LA housing
           prices have been insane for the last few years.  One bedrooms in
           that area can go for $2k/month.  My friend lives a few blocks up
           the beach from there, and he pays $2700/month for an ocean view.
           -rollee
        \_ I am guessing around $1.4M, or $1k/sq ft. -ausman
        \_ Historically, LA housing prices have always been higher than
           the Bay Area. I think this is still true if you compare like
           properties to each other.
        \_ ausmas and rollee are good. I called and it's in the
           "mid millions". I thought LA is cheaper than SF, I guessed wrong.
           \_ The median in LA is a lot cheaper, but you wouldn't want to
              live in a median-priced neighborhood. There is more cheap
              housing in bad areas. In nice areas the real estate tends
              to cost more in LA.

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

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

8/21    I'm trying to negotiate rent renewal and my manager came
        back saying she can't do that due to Fair Housing Laws
        that states that if they adjust price for one person
        they need to adjust price for everyone else. Is this
        an actual law or some bullshit she just made up?
        \_ Probably bullshit.
