About $7200 a month was my neighbor Craigs monthly nut to keep his home.
He just couldn't make it anymore, and it closed escrow this week, Craig taking a $42.000 loss on the transaction.
The new owner moving in has a pissy arrogant short mans complex.
Craig was great. A party every nite, an endless stream of great friends would rotate through each week. He was always there to help with some crazy project I was in.
We lobstered off channel islands, rode quads & M/C's,, he'd join us with his gf at the river and the trip took on 1000% more fun,,, he watched our home, mow'd the lawns n fed the cat when the wife and I took a hot lap around the USA in our RV,,
Ever loose a great neighbor?

That would be called a compound in your case.....
We had a great one also. They cashed out their ranch next to us and moved to Texas about 2 years ago. I never minded so much when Jeff left to Mexico or the desert because I knew that Chris was next door if I needed anything. He was a former Army MP. He helped Jeff take care of those loose fighting dogs that tried to eat me through my dining room window at 10pm on a rainy night. Actually, he took care of the dogs. He helped Jeff hang doors and Jeff helped him cut up the Eucalyptus that fell in his front yard, and kill a skunk cornered under a culvert. We took care of each others animals when we went on vacations. We brought back gifts for each other from our vacations.
The new owner is a 65 year old pushy divorcee.
The neighbor I have had next door for 25 years or so is a glorious vacant 4.5 acres. I had a shot at it back when it was so cheap it was crazy, and we didn't have two nickels to rub together. Hook it to the 11.5 we have now and I would be a happy boy.
An "investor" from down the hill has it now, and after really doing a nice job cleaining up the old pond etc, he is selling it. He wants a dumptruck load of money for it.
Frankly, I hope it doesn't sell until I win the lottery.

Well sell your home and move to the Silverthorne track. All my neighbors run in their house. My closest neighbor is a nosey, oppinionated focker that says he's been there done that and everything about everything.
I had good neighbors at my last two homes. It does suck to lose em....
