Just say no- really


Here's a home another annoyed Realtor thinks I should see. It has 4 bedrooms, three baths and shares the 90077 Bel-Air zip code. Asking$1,019,999


3,820 sq ft steep incline lot with 1,975 sq ft of house. "Plenty of room for a garden"In a pot?
I think the green hedge is the only open area. The door on the lower level is a "small studio easily converted to additional parking" so an illegal conversion.

Question: Why don't you simply rent a place?

Question: What's your monthly gross income?

We currently own a place and want to only move once, rather than move to another slightly better, but still sub-optimal spot, then move again when we find a place to buy. This will be my 4th home and his 2nd and we both absolutely detest moving. Also, it is difficult to find rentals that will accept pets (four cats), two working adults, an older teen, a younger one and a couple of screaming toddlers. As a former landlord, I certainly wouldn't rent to my family if given an option between my group and a smaller one sans pets.

As for the monthly gross income question, it is sufficient for a $1,000,000+ home, but we both want real value for that kind of money.

We drive 10yr+ cars, have no credit card debt and I just paid off the last of my student loans

Getting the FBI Background Check

Start now. No really. Even with the expediter ($79.99) and using Livescan to deliver the fingerprints ($39.99) turnaround time to get the FBI letter into my hands was 9 business days. Then Federal Express to Washington DC expediter to get the Apostille (otherwise 6-8 weeks). Arrives at expediter on Monday. Enters system on Tuesday AM, returned to expediter on Friday PM. Federal Express to Cyprus because the documents will not be in my hands before we fly there.  Even with the expeditors on both ends of the transaction, an FBI Background check can take 4 weeks. You cannot "save time" by having your background check sent directly to the expediter in Washington DC to be carried to the counter for the Apostille. They can't accept it. You need it sent to your attorney, who will forward it to you (or directly to the expediter), then to Washington, DC to the Department of State counter, then 3 -5 days later, back to the expediter and on to courier service. So TL;DR Start pro

So some things have changed...

It's been a lifetime since purchasing the dream house in Pacific Palisades and our family actually moved to the Bay Area fairly recently. We are on the road again- this time to sunny Cyprus (no not Orange County, CA) and two parents, three kids and two dogs are making the big overseas move. Our belongings are being compressed into a 20 ft container and we are going through our paperwork and checking it twice.  Here is what we were told: ·   All types of valid Visas: employment visa, visitor Visa, Schengen Visa, etc.   · University Diploma (It should be Apostilled in home country)   · CV in English – electronic format · Criminal Record (It should be Apostilled in home country)  · International Passport   · For married: Marriage Certificate (1 per couple – Apostille)   · For divorced: Divorce Certificate (Apostille).   Needed documents for Spouses   · All types of valid Visas: employment visa, visitor Visa, Schengen
