So I started looking at homes, just to see what’s available. Help me decide.
First…we have this 2BR, 2BA, 1,301 sq foot home for the price of $975,000. It’s less than average, very out dated and needs tons of work inside and out. But hey…it’s in SoCal.

Next we have this 2BR, 1BA, 1,083 sq ft home for the price of $1,090,000. While nicer than the first, it was built in 1949 and barely has room for one person and looks terribly cramped. Also has virtually no yard.

Let’s not pick on Los Angeles though. Let’s see what’s near Anaheim. This 4BR, 3BA 1,406 sq ft home is built in 1941, also with virtually no yard, and has a few updates but overall is pretty outdated. $950,000.

Another option in Anaheim. 4 BR, 3BA, and actually has a square footage that starts with a “2.” Wait….but it’s a duplex… so only a little over 1,000 sq ft per family. It does have nice updates on the inside but the exterior is awful and, again, no yard to speak of. $950,000.

I’m just starting the search process, but so far I’m not impressed. Doesn’t look like $1 million will get you much in Southern California. There isn’t a single house that I listed that would appraise for $300,000 in West Virginia... and that’s being generous. Shameful to waste that kind of money on such a less-than-mediocre property.
Oh well… I’ll keep looking in other parts of SoCal to see if I’m able to find anything remotely worth purchasing.
