I was born and raised in Burbank and lived there, then Paso Robles until about 2 and a half years ago. I know exactly what we are going back to. And although the politics do such, the additional family support is MASSIVE for my family with 3 kids that have extensive medical specialties. We are trying mitigate some of the liberal bullshit by moving to conservative Simi, but that only helps so much.

Don't feed the trolls. 😉

Or maybe the owner passed, and it's an escrow company or lawyer? Relatives? Executors?

If it's listed on the MLS, what's the worry?
I couldn't find a listing agent on the listing which I thought was unusual so I don't know if Realtor con has opened up its listing services at all?

No one is being a troll. You sound like a Liberal. CA is a bad place to be. I understand the mans predicament but its only going to get worse.

You're hilarious...

Not a troll eh? So what was the point of your post?

Do you really think someone is going to make a family decision, based on something YOU say? Are you seriously That impressed with yourself??

The man is doing what's best for HIS family. Whether You agree with it, or not.

Run along now. And have a nice day. 👍🏼

So is here just a matter of time until the Tucson Mayor, city council, and the county board figure out a way to be like their idols to the west. In that case, I'd rather be somewhere that I have tons of friends and family.

Also, until you have kids that have specialists appointments to the tube of 6+ a month, you have NO idea how big that family help and support is. Specially with COVID restrictions at doctor's offices now.

You are nuts. No amount of family support will counteract the negative experience your kids will get in CA with the drugs, homelessness, lack of freedom, and terrible left wing education.
As i agree with this statement for my family. If you have enough money you can shelter away from alot of it.

But as for the question at hand im no help ive gone and a dead end search for a property in that same format. Best chance i had was using my title and escrow contacts to find ownership and try and reach through mail or phone Goodluck.

Such a rebel you are! 😁

P.S. He asked for help, not an opinion. And as I've pointed out previously, your opinion is flawed. I know tons of great kids here, that are doing great things with their lives! Don't believe Everything you read in the media bro. We all know they never lie, right?

Life is what you make it. Where ever you decide to make it! We need more red voters here. 👍

My daughter, currently at USC, working to become a PA, and her Hot Shot boyfriend, would not agree with you opinion!

CA is closed. Move along now. 😉
Within the past two days you were just talking about escaping!

I hear the weather is still nice out there though ;)

Good on your daughter though! USC's a great school, it's just had a bad neighborhood grow up around it.

I lived in the SF Bay Area for 26 years. I am well aware of how CA is. I don't need to read the media, I saw the steady decline and got out when I could.

Just be aware...

There are LOTS of great dads on this board, with lots of great kids doing good things. It's not all doom and gloom here. I have no doubt flyin will be just fine. The fuck ups don't rule the world just yet. ;)

I remember rolling down Fig to a site, 5am. The USC brochures never show the, um, nightlife?
Some sketchy looking creatures out there!

Remember this though: Life is what happens while we plan for the future!

Ok fellas.... I need some help or input here please....

I came across a property that I like on Realtor.com in Simi Valley. I emailed the contact listed and there were a few things that seemed a bit off and suspicious so I joined been verified to check the property owner's name and the guy that was emailing me was not anywhere on the deed. They did send out a background/credit check application threw a legit 3rd party site but I don't know how much that site shares with the "landlord" and such. Anybody have any ideas on how to verify the listing and "landlord" are legit?
Ok everyone I did a drive by and was going to knock, this is what I found as I turned the corner🤣

Lucky @Flying_Lavey didn't fill out and send the paperwork back, if it seems off then have someone in the area drive by for you.

The owner stepped out and we talked for a minute, he said it is out of control the amount of people stopping by on the weekends so they made a sign.

The eastern side of Moorpark is definitely a possibility. Somis is just a bit too far out. I'll have to be commuting to Baldwin Park everyday so getting that commute up near an hour and a half will get to be a bit much.

So.... now that we are getting VERY close to the move date.... still having a hard time finding a rental. We're up against managers and owners that do not want to rent to someone they have never met before as well as people that are looking to throw down 6 months rent in advance on a property. If I had $20k to throw down in rent right now, I'd be looking at buying. I have accounts and instant alerts set up on all the major rental sites and jump on contacting managers and owners immediately but no dice so far.

So as a reminder.... does anybody know of an inside connection for a rental at all? Looking for a 3/2 with some outdoor space like a yard or courtyard or something.

Yeah, the way LA County has been going as of late, there is no way I'll live in LA county. In order to get a lot of the family help we need, we need to be close as well and a lot of the family that will be able to help live in and around Simi (very central to family really) so, those factors considered..... South Eastern Ventura County it is. Simi, Morepark, Maybe Thousand Oaks and Newburry Park as well.

Are you looking for just a house? Or could you do a larger apartment for a while? When we were looking for a house after selling our condo, had an apartment for a year. Wasn’t too bad, kids enjoyed the pool.

We REALLY want to be in a house. We're in an apartment right now for the last 2 years and not having an outdoor space for our young kids to play is really difficult for them. And not having a garage to work on stuff has been driving me crazy. If we HAVE to, possibly. Shitty thing is the apartments are about the same price though but without those amenities.

I forgot about the family connection...yep, if you have some to help out at times, well worth the effort.

So, at the almost 10th hour..... we found a rental! It's not quite what we wanted, but it is a 3/2 with a 2 car garage and a small private outdoor space and is on the south eastern side of Simi so almost as short of a commute as possible. And, looks like we get to move RIGHT in there, no short-term storage or anything. Only draw back is I'll have to find somewhere to store the boat. I have a couple possibilities now though at least.

I was pushing for it. Lol!

I am getting the biggest Uhaul truck, enclosed trailer, and car flatbed for 4 day rental for $550. Compared to almost $3k going the other way.

Nice!
When I escaped it was actually over 50% cheaper to return the truck where I rented it in Vacaville (26’ big one as well) then to drop it in Havasu, even after fuel expenses.
That worked out for me because I had my Tahoe and Miller still up there to bring back.

One way would have been over $2300
I did it for about $700 plus gas as I recall?
3 days.
