House Hunting

It's about 4:30am right now, and I woke up around 2:30 cause I can't sleep anymore. My girlfriend and I went house hunting with our realtor yesterday in Roseville, CA which is about 30 minutes from Sacramento, CA. It was a pretty big bust imo. I am, as expected, the "bad guy" because there was a clear favorite and I'm the only one who doesn't like it. I feel like a 2+2 post where one person says something different and he's reamed for having a different opinion. Life beat atm.

I've learned a lot about buying a home in the last 24 hrs though. About appreciation value based on certain home specifications that no normal person would ever consider. I mean, things that the realtor told me about home buying strategies completely blew me away. The one thing in particular that mind-f'd me was about aiming at getting a home near a good school because there is more expected value with it than normal. Families who want their children to go to really good schools most likely want this because they have a high education. People with high educations are more likely to have more money. This makes these neighborhoods preferred areas to wealthier well educated people which in turn increases the value of your home. It's basically future ev. We literally had a discussion about +ev homes. It was really interesting.

Unfortunately, however, there is no luck so far. Maybe my one outer will hit.

At least the realtor thought playing online poker is cool:)
