10 Weeks till LA Triathlon

It's been a while since my last post. Here is a quick recap of what has been going on for the past few weeks. My mother flew in early July for a quick one week stay. Not sure why she doesn't extend her trip, but its nice spending time with her. She will be here again in October. During her short stay, I took her to look at houses near Corona. We have our eyes on a Four Leaf Home house with 4,000 feet. Five rooms (Three master bedrooms) and a guest/entertainment room. The price tag starts is $650K. Expensive, but doable, and my mom fell in love with the European interior room arrangements of the house. But bringing things back to reality. My cousin made a great point by saying "who is going to live in that house in you were to buy it", great point! Additionally, upon further investigation, I found out that property tax in Corona is a whopping 1.8%. adding that to the association fees, the annual tax payment on property would come close to 2%. that is $13,000/ year on taxes along. Crazy....

well, for now, i guess i'll continue to live my high life as Charles in Charge in my friends Irvine vacation home and return home to visit my dogs in San Gabriel in the weekend.
