Hauser Lake Summer Home

After the gorgeous day yesterday in which I sat in the sun soaked bleachers for two hours waiting to watch my Tom run the mile (he did okay and got inspired because he knew he could do better, YES!); today, it is snowing. Get the picture? A little taste of spring and then wham, some more winter. On this gloomy day, this picture of a 786 sf summer cabin in Hauser Lake comes on my computer screen with its tantalizing promise of summer heat and a lake to go with it.
This is an approved short sale with a price of $70,700. Approved means that the bank has given the price an okay so the process should be short (unlike unapproved short sales which can take 6 months).
The view is a block away. (Sorry, no lake view from the
house in this price range.)

How is your weather today and where does it make you want to be?

Tubbs Hill

Tubbs Hill

Happiest Place on Earth (Sorry Disneyland!)

Tubbs Hill is 135 acres of trails and woods right in the middle of CDA. Park at the 3rd Street dock parking lot (East side of the Resort) and start hiking.Leave the town behind and enjoy the bliss of the trails and the wonderful views of the lake. As soon as you leave sight of the resort, you can forget that you are still in town. The main trail loops the hill and is about two miles long. You can avoid the heavier traveled outer trail and head straight up the hill for a more woodsy experience. There are popular swimming beaches on the South side. The hill is also a very popular place to watch the 4th of July fireworks. If you like to run, the main trail is a great hill repeat workout. Remember - "go easy on the downhills and save the knees" (Tribute to Mike Bundy- NIC's famous X country coach). All these pictures are from January in our extraordinarily dry winter of 2012.

The Main Trail- Watch those Rocks!

Here is a view from the west side- you can only see a glimpse of the resort boardwalk as all the man-made CDA starts to disappears from view.

Invest or not invest- that is the question.

Investment Properties

Just some history on why and how I got into Real  Estate.  My Uncle Cecil had a car dealership in Nampa when I was growing up. He told me that he made more money selling the land that was under the dealership than he ever did selling cars. That stuck with me. My husband, Steve and I built a warehouse in partnership with our friends. We sold hot sauce on our side and they sold rubber stamps on their side. We eventually bought them out and use it as a rental since we now drop ship the hot sauce.

In floor heat- ain't it cool?
