Carlsbad New Home

I have just recently relocated to Carlsbad, CA for a job. With the $1,100 montly rent I've been paying, I was thinking I could actually purchase my first home out here and actually have those money going toward a home mortgage instead. To keep the monthly mortgage around that or less, I can only afford a home for around $200,000 or less. My question is, where should I purchase my first home? Should I stay around the coast Carlsbad/Oceanside/San Clemente where the scenery is nice but could only afford a one bed room older home? Or should I look at the Temecula/Murrieta area for more spacious and newer home? I don't want to commute more than an hour everyday to work. I don't intend to buy this as an investment property, but if I need to move in two or three years for another job offer, what would have a better resale value without much depreciation?
I was just wondering if the San Diego housing market is more affordable as well?
by home I meant both condos and single family house, just not mobile homes though, I came from the MidWest and something about mobile homes just creep me out...

You should purchase a house/condo that you feel comfortable living in.

I frankly do not like living near the beach, because of the beach traffic and the associated noise and crowd it brings to living there. There are normally shops set up for tourist.

You might be able to cope with those things and would want to sit on the beach, be perfectly happy with a one bedroom studio and the noise associated with that type living.

I feel more comfortable living in a quieter neighborhood with a garage to park, a fence for privacy, backyard BBQ and more space for things like a washer and dryer. It would also accommodate private parties and parking space for my guest and friends that would come over.

As for the compute I would not mind as I would be away from the hustle and bustle of the business community.

I am with you on the mobile home, not my cup of tea either.

No matter where you decide to buy your first home, or the type home you decide to purchase, property appreciation will not go up that fast in the first couple of years even in a better real estate market you can expect an appreciation of 1%-2% annually.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

Carlsbad Homes for Sale Real Estate in Carlsbad, CA. Looking to buy a new home in Carlsbad? You've come to the right spot. We offer beautiful ...

Ok, I just bought a 22 revolver (like those old cowboy ones) that changes from regular to magnum. I bought it in Carlsbad New Mexico, and live in Lubbock Texas, it is under my dad's name who lives in Carlsbad. I want to take it home with me, but someone told me that it would be illegal because it was purchased in a different state, is under my dad's name and I don't live with him, and I am not technically an adult. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

The "someone" who told you that it would be illegal is correct.

Federal law prohibits you from acquiring a handgun from any source (FFL dealer, private sale, or gift) outside your state of residence. There is an exemption in the law for inheritances (if dad dies and you inherit the gun).

Federal law prohibits FFL dealers from selling handguns to persons under 21 years of age (yes, I know that is unConstitutional but that's the way it is these days).

Federal law prohibits possession of handguns by persons under 18 years of age unless they have written parental permission to possess it.

State law, in your case Texas state law, will govern whether you may legally use the handgun. Some states set the limit at age 21 (WA, UT, TN, GA, etc.), some are as low as 14 (MT), and some states have no limit (WY, MO, NH, ME). It goes without saying that any limit higher than 18 is unConstitutional.

Call the Texas attorney general's office for the most accurate information. Don't trust cops. They have too many laws to keep up with and may not have current information. ( I frequently argue with my brother officers about this. When we go to the book I'm usually proven right. I'm not any smarter than they are, I just keep up with it a little better because guns are my hobby and I like to stay current.)

To legally bring the gun into Texas, your father would have to ship it to a FFL dealer in Texas who could then transfer it to your mother or some other relative (over 21) who could then "lend" you the gun when you wanted to use it (assuming Texas law allows this). You would still need written permission from a parent to use it.

I tried to Answer Brun the Leader but Yahoo can't handle the size of my answer. But it's a GREAT idea on how to neuter the banks and break us out of this recession, pay off our national debt, and bring unemployment in the USA down to 0. My question is ... IS THIS FEASIBLE?
I voted for Chuck Baldwin. Chuck wants to eliminate the Fed. THAT is the only way that I can see of stopping the bankers. Chuck wants to remove the power of money creation from the Fed & return it to Congress.
When the Fed "created" that $700 billion out of NOTHING they then gave it to the banks to HELP them. The banks then LOANED the money back to people, govt, etc WITH INTEREST. It cost nothing to make it and cost the banks nothing to get it but we have to pay them back? What a crock!
If you eliminate the FED ... you cut off their FREE money. The Fed is all the Ruling Families & they charge the govt interest on the $700 billion when they make it. So the FED is making interest on it AND the banks are making interest on it. The Fed has this country on lock down in that we can NEVER pay back what we owe. We can barely cover the interest on the money we owe already.
I just published the answer to this whole mess on Triond yesterday. It involves another bail-out but this time it would give the money to GM on condition that they rebuild DEtroit, build NEW homes and build a NEW auto plant that is the MOST advanced of ANY auto plant in the world. Robots & all. They would produce ONLY electric cars and hybrids capable of getting 300 mpg or better. ( see Aptera.com ... they are already making them in Carlsbad, Calif. ) They would design these cars to be the best in the world. We have the technology, we have the expertise, we have the resources, GM just needs a boost of cash AND A NEW DIRECTION! WE need to incorporate the ideals of A. Edward Deming (deceased) who rebuilt the Japanese economy after WWII and Ford in 1980. GM needs to focus on cars that will go 300 miles for $3.25. Rebuilding Detroit will bring thousands of new jobs. Giving a lump of money to GE for windmill design and production will make us the global leader in windmills AND solar panels. GERMANY is the current leader in solar. WE NEED THAT and we can TAKE it from them. This is an industry that is new and fresh and needs inexpensive alternative to the expensive panels that are available now.
Dream with me here for a second. Imagine Detroit all rebuilt with thousands of new homes, and refurbished old ones. Take Brad PItt's idea for New Orleans and use that for Detroit. New homes, thousands of new jobs, new industries. Happy employed people making a product they can be proud of and supplying the world with the best product for the lowest price. No greed, just MASS production. Solar cars, electric cars. I have a friend who is patenting a magnetic motor that will generate enough power (35 amps) to re-charge a bank of 25 batteries in an electric car. These magnet motors can run 24/7 for 20 years with NO cost. You could put one or two in a car and drive up to 200 miles to work. The batteries are re-charged while you are at work for 8 hours. You drive up to 200 miles home and the batteries charge up while you sleep. You take the family to the beach on SAturday and while your kids play on the beach the batteries are re-charged. You go to work ... go to the beach ... go anywhere you want ... and there is NO cost for fuel. Gasoline prices drop to 25c / gallon like in 1960 and Exxon BEGS people to use fuel. Exxon finally gives up and starts making solar panels and hydrogen fuel cells or they make compressed air engines from the designs that are currently being studied in India.
The United STates Re-Invents itself. We bring all the jobs HOME. We bring FORD AND GM plants from overseas HOME. What if we could make a transport ship that runs on solar power. Use solar paint and solar panels all over the surface of the ship. Have a back up of a nuclear powered engine for when there is fog. These cargo ships could deliver our products all over the world at NO FUEL COST! We would employ thousands making these ships. Other countries would create a waiting list for these ships. Think we CAN'T design and build these? Nonsense. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY. WE are the most advanced country in the world when we WANT to be. If we diverted our WAR MACHINE and converted all those factories to producing INEXPENSIVE solar panels and electric cars we would be the WORLD SOURCE and the country would prosper. Hell, we would do MORE than prosper. We could pay OFF our national debt, eliminate the Fed, close the IRS, and convert the IRS buildings into billing departments for the world's corporations. WE could become the information hub of the world. We already control the computer industry and could solidify that in a heartbeat if we wanted to.

BUt the govt would have to CREATE a few Trillion dollars in cash and GIVE it to the corporations that SHOW that they can TAKE OVER A WORLD MARKET! The money could ONLY be

Roth-child owens 60 sum estates and the idea of cutting off the bread line to the Rothschild's life it self .They employ thousands if not millions of people Look at John Turmel who is up and in their face protesting usury John and me and you will never stop the family of the Golden Rule .You got the gold you Rule ! And again their God is and always will be Gold, Oil,& Drugs GOD ! what hurts is that we live on the same planet and have the rights as everything that has taken birth
and One family that could Save the World would rather exploit the very people that gave them the power of Control So how many years will we face this abuse and slavery by the few And what would we do with the game of MONOPOLY maybe a game of BARTER AND
EXCHANGE I can sense your frustration to all of this Crap and to know now that where just Slaves and can`t do a thing about it, just grow old and die in and the name of DEBT "God help the Children ;

Strange U.S. Sex Laws
-- In Bakersfield, California, anyone having intercourse with Satan
must use a condom. (An asbestos one we presume.)

-- In Oblong, Illinois, it's punishable by law to make love while
hunting or fishing on your wedding day.

-- In Minnesota, it is illegal for any man to have sexual intercourse
with a live fish. (Apparently it's OK for woman.)

-- No man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of garlic,
onions, or sardines on his breath in Alexandria, Minnesota. If his wife
so requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.

-- Warn your hubby that after lovemaking in Ames, Iowa, he isn't
allowed to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with
you -- or holding you in his arms.

-- Bozeman, Montana, has a law that bans all sexual activity between
members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown --
if they're nude.

-- In hotels in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, every room is required to
have twin beds. And the beds must always be a minimum of two feet apart
when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it's illegal to make
love on the floor between the beds!

-- The owner of every hotel in Hastings, Nebraska, is required to
provide each guest with a clean and pressed nightshirt. No couple, even
if they are married, may sleep together in the nude. Nor may they have
sex unless they are wearing one of these clean, white cotton
nightshirts.

-- An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples from
having sex while standing inside a store's walk-in meat freezer!

-- A state law in Illinois mandates that all bachelors should be called
master, not mister, when addressed by their female counterparts.

-- In Romboch, Virg inia, it is illegal to engage in sexual activity
with the lights on.

-- In Merryville, Missouri, women are prohibited from wearing corsets
because "the privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of
a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American
male."

-- It's safe to make love while parked in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Police
officers aren't allowed to walk up and knock on the window. Any
suspicious officer who thinks that sex is taking place must drive up
from behind, honk his horn three times and wait approximately two
minutes before getting out of his car to investigate.

-- A law in Helena, Montana, mandates that a woman can't dance on a
table in a saloon or bar unless she has on at least three pounds, two
ounces of clothing. (Ouch! These pasties hurt!)

-- Anywhere in the U.S., it's illegal to use any live endangered
species, excepting insects, in public or private sexual displays, shows
or exhibits depicting cross-species sex. (Insectophiles apparently were
successful in their lobbying efforts.)

-- Lovers in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, should avoid satisfying their
lustful urges in a parked car. If the horn accidentally sounds while
they are frolicking behind the wheel, the couple can face a jail term.

-- In Carlsbad, New Mexico, it's legal for couples to have sex in a
parked vehicle during their lunch break from work, as long as the car or
van has drawn curtains to stop strangers from peeking in.

-- Women aren't allowed to wear patent-leather shoes in Cleveland, Ohio
- a man might see the reflection of something "he oughtn't!"

-- No woman may have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance within
the boundaries of Tremonton, Utah. If caught, the woman can be charged
with a sexual misdemeanour and "her name is to be published in the local
newspaper." The man isn't charged nor is his name revealed.

-- It is illegal for any member of the Nevada Legislature to conduct
official business wearing a penis costume while the legislature is in
session.

Regarding the last one, I wonder if the Carson City, NV novelty costume shop "Costumes 'R US, Perfect Fit For Any Occasion" knows about this law. Apparently it is okay to wear one before or after business is officially finished.
