Ugh.
Looking for a house drains you.
We drove all the way to Norwalk for nothing.
We looked at two places and hated just driving by we did not even bother to go in.
Hid.
And far!
But they did have a lot of convenient stores around, so we are not completely ruling Norwalk out.
The Long Beach area would be cool too.
That’s only 20 minutes from downtown.
But still just loving on the West Adams, Mid Wilshire, or anywhere in direct view of the Hollywood sign. Even if I can only see it on a clear day, like from the West Adams.
The search goes on.
I need to make a checklist with things like…
Must not be a corner house
Must have central heat and air (this may be hard).
Must have a fireplace that works and has never fallen down in a quake (LOL).

04:44 pm - The great LA house search….
So we went to a couple of open house’s today and hopefully this will be something we will be doing a lot lately. For right now we are looking at places and watching the market go down a bit. We are getting familiar with the process and Alex is saying he wants me to take a real estate class just for the purpose of doing it all ourselves, I am not interested in selling property. I am thinking about that, but in the mean time, the thoughts are in action and I will be keeping records and track of prices here.
There are a few requirements for our “dream house”.
Must have …
1st and for most the price must be fair.
Not from a flipper.
3 – 4 bedrooms
1-2 bath
Close to schools- elementary, middle, and high school
Must be close to a library
Must have a front and back yard, does not have to be too big.
Not to ghetto, not to much graffiti (it’s sad that I have to add that but it is part of living in LA)
Relatively quite neighborhood.
Off street parking would be a plus.
Must have a working permitted fireplace.
All rooms must be permits.
A view of the Hollywood sign is a plus.
A view of downtown is a plus.
A view of both and affordable would be the ultimate!
Close to Hollywood and downtown a plus.
Close to a freeway entrance.
Looked at today, ( look with me if you’d like )
