Strange, yes. But if the cat was an outdoor cat for these 14 years, picking him up and taking him to Florida might not be best for him. For me, I get a mouser.

No. That place had too many issues. I bought a place on 2 acres on Casa Loma Rd, just south of Calero Reservoir. Super easy commute, getting on 101 at Bailey.

Well, the property management company contacted their pest control people and they gave me a call and now I have a guy (gal?) coming out Wednesday between 11am and 1pm to inspect the place for bed bugs.

Wow Andy. Looks like a really nice place. Congratulations.

The prices down there always give me sticker shock though! That would buy so much up here. You'd have to get either 3000 sq feet of house or a bunch of acreage. Maybe both...

I assume you plan on renting the granny unit, yes?

Thanks! Yeah, but I couldn't make a ridiculous amount of money for working 8 hours in an air conditioned office up there. Silicon Valley is made of funny money. People say "you're crazy to pay that much for a house," but the reality is you make a TON more on the houses here over the long term.

Would love to have 3000 SQ FT and a much larger lot with flatter land, but this is the cheapest place I could find that is reasonably close to work.

Hey Stewart, thanks! Yes at least initially I'll rent it out. It'd make a great game room with some pinball machines!

If you do, and want paperwork necessary for tenant applications, 30 day notice, 3 day notice, lease agreements, etc, lemme know.
