Big Fat Thank You To Nashville Bound

[throwerb]

And his lovely wife, for driving us around all weekend looking at homes and treating us like family. This is one of the nicest couples I have ever met, and I believe they will soon be our neighbors. We loved Tennessee and can't wait to move there. Anybody thinking about getting out of crowdifornia I would stongly recommend going and checking it out. Did I mention 4000 sqft all brick new home across the street from the lake for 325k :D

TN ain't bad boutha. We got lots of lakes with no ramp lines too. :D

Jeff and Fluffy are the best and truly missed here in Cali :( I had some great lake trips and fun parties while they were here.
If I could get a nice job in TN I'd be there in a minute!!

At these prices I think I'm going to get a job at Wal Mart as the greeter, did I mention gas was $1.83 a gallon, and there is no guy at the marina checking how long your boat is or if it has mufflers. :)

Contact NashvilleBound he and his wife sent me tons of listings to look at. Do a search on Center Hill lake and check out the pics. I will post some pics after I get them developed.

Perfect! Once you get in at Walmart, let me know what opens up.... I'd really like something in Sporting goods but Hardware or Paint would be okay too :D :D
We'd just need to make it clear that we don't (forget that!) we WON'T work weekends!! Weekends are for boating!! :D :D
If you can, see if the Piggly Wiggly has any openings.... When I was 16 I had a job at Albertson! :D

My brother lives in Columbia, TN. He loves it, I don't see him ever moving back out west. Something about hills & greenery. Something we don't have here in Vegas.

Ya, it's funny. My brother tells me the way he make ice tea, he just puts an empty bottle with a few tea bags in it out front. Come back a few hours later and you have a full bottle of ice tea.

Where do I start? California too crowded, running out of water, 5 hour drive to shallow lakes, houses waaaaay over priced, can take my current equity and buy a house and new boat cash and most of all I can now get my dream job (official greeter) at one of 10 Wal Mart super centers in the area. :p

it is awful how our lakes are shallow, prices are so darn high it is impossible for many to buy anymore... and yes... way overcrowded! But my family is here and friends, so I guess I'll stay put. Buy we considered moving to AZ last year... depending on who was gonna become gov. during the recall... but we stayed :D WEll good luck w/ the purchase and move... it's sometimes nice to pick up and start fresh... and those houses are beautiful... I am sure you'll get something great from looking at those!

Thanks. Family was a huge concern for us as well, but I am sure they will follow. If not it's only $225 round trip. The homes are even more beautiful inside. We even looked st some not as close to the lake that were awesome in the 250k range. :confused: :)

WOW! Hard to believe there are still houses for that price... we got ours less that that... but not nearly as beautiful as that! Or w/ a lake view!!! I can dream :D
That would be the life... go to work, come home and take the kids for a spin around the lake, after school... go for sunset rides... right outside of your house!

[throwerb]

At $1.83 a gallon you could go for some long rides. :cool:

Hey Throwerb,
What City were these pictrures that you are posting taken at? Also what lake is that behind the houses?
The wife and Have been talking about moving there as well. We just bought a rental property in Searville about two months ago and we are planning on buying another next month.
I think we are going to make a trip out there in January or Feb of 2005.

[Mrs. casean]

I am sure it will be a huge difference from Escondido! I was only there a year and a half, but I am sure TN will be a nice change... I still work there, but don't think I could go back. Good luck w/ your move too!

Yeah Esco SUX! The street I live on is cool and so are the people. But the rest of the city you can have. It's becoming almost as bad as Beaumont. :)

[cstraub]

NE TN here. How about 3000 sq/ft with lake view and paid less then $165K. 2 miles to the Grocery. Best of all $780 a year in property tax!!! NO state income tax either. . .another plus!! I don't know how people can afford to live in CA. I don't mean that bad, it's just the cost of living is so high.

I know! I moved there from San Clemente... shock! But it was close to school and the b.f. not hubby... so it had it's benefits... I work in Hidden Meadows which is great... but I hate running errands for work and driving through town! It has it's cool areas, well nicer I should say... but glad we chose to move to Temecula.

Those where just a few in the same tract in Hendersonville. The lake in the background is Old Hickory. Hardly saw any boats out on the lake, told my wife if this was California you'd see boats and lake lice everywhere. Water was about 79 degrees and they say it is about that temp or a little warmer all summer. We also saw some beautiful houses in Brentwood, Murfreesboro and Franklin. Hope to be out there by Jan 1st, if so please look us up. I almost called my realitor and told him to send our stuff, but Wal Mart won't be ready for me until the first of the year ;)

We almost bought in Temecula off the 79. Sometimes I wish we did it and sometimes I am glad we didnt. Sean can tell you driving to Mira Mesa is HELL!!!

Where do you think you will end up buying? What type of work do you do?

[cstraub]

I live right outside of Johnson City on Boone Lake. Its about 26 miles long and about a 1/2mile wide at best. The Bristol track is about 10 miles from the house. Lived in Vegas during childhood. Mom retired there about 2 years ago. Spent most of my time in Louisville, KY. We get alot of transplants here because of the race track...they come to the race and move here... I love it. I work from the home now. Stef's Performance, who I work for, is in Lakewood, NJ. Joe asked if I was interested in moving up there, but after the cost of living shock, I told him double my salary and I will consider it. When I first moved here in Jan. of '01, I had an 1100sq/ft town house with garage for $450 a month. After 6 months I decided to buy.
License Plate for M3 $26 a year, thats with a $1 donation
Boat Slip: $900 a year covered
Personal Property Tax: Non
Water/Trash: $30 month
Electric: All electric, remember I am home for work $79 summer/ $140 winter
Anyone what Real Estate Books?

[throwerb]

Where do you think you will end up buying? What type of work do you do?
Been in the restaurant business for many, many years. Not sure what I will do there. My wife has a PHd in psychology and we will more than likely move to whichever area she can get work in until she opens a private practice. With the home prices and cost of living what they are there, we are not really to concerned about where we will work. When you own a house out right you can be the greeter at Wal Mart if you want to. :D

[Krazy K]

Yeah, I'm looking at Knoxville when I'm done with school. I'm looking at land to build my house on. Saw 10 acres for sale at $40,000. About another $100,000 to build the house and waalaaa! Fairly close to one of the lakes, too. Douglas Lake, I think...

Geez, I actually think I am blushing. No, wait, its gas. :messedup:
Brad, taking you and your family out looking at homes was a pleasure. You guys ARE like family. It's kinda cool to meet someone and feel at home. Cant wait till you get here so we have someone to hang at the lakes with. I hope you find what your looking for. It shouldn't be hard, I think your on the same page as I am.

I drove through Escondido, aka Little TJ, for 15 years while living in Valley Center. Its getting pretty bad. Course the one thing I do miss is the Carne Asada Burritos. Damn I miss those. Its just not the same out here.

[Mrs. casean]

We almost bought in Temecula off the 79. Sometimes I wish we did it and sometimes I am glad we didnt. Sean can tell you driving to Mira Mesa is HELL!!!
Do you and Sean know each other??? We bought off 79 Noth/Winchester Rd. A little far out though... but it won't feel like it for long.

We looked at buying a few acres in Valley Center and putting a modular on it till we could build a home... unfortunately the cost of just land was too damn expensive too, so we had to move to was WAS the 909 at the time :D But I am really happy w/ our move... the wine country is almost in our back yard so we're kinda of out in the boonies considering... Are you happy you moved out of CA??

[572Daytona]

TN is a great place to live,when it gets too crowded here in GA, I may move up that way as well. Homes are still reasonable here too, my wife has one listed from under 300K here in Georgia on Lake Lanier with it's own dock:
http://www.sammythieme.com/fredericks.htm
We've lived on the lake since 1993, I would never do a 5 hour drive just to go boating.

Little TJ is right! It gets worse and worse every month. This real estate around here in Escondido is crazy. They are turning these piece of crap apartments on Broadway into condos and selling them idiviually for close to $300K. They are a piece of crap!!!

I moved up here because I wanted to be able to buy a house on my own. (almost did a couple years ago...2 bed, 1 bath, 900 sq ft, big bkyd, garage, nice area, built in the early 40's...$75,000) 3 days after I signed the papers, I lost my job. Now, I want to build my house on some land, so.....moving again as soon as I finish school.

Good reasons... gotta do what ya gotta do... I'd (we'd) love to have some land to build a house on... it is damn near impossible for so many people to buy a house in CA anymore... we are one of the lucky ones but I worry about friends and others who just can't make it happen.
Good luck Krazy K!

We looked at buying a few acres in Valley Center and putting a modular on it till we could build a home... unfortunately the cost of just land was too damn expensive too, so we had to move to was WAS the 909 at the time :D But I am really happy w/ our move... the wine country is almost in our back yard so we're kinda of out in the boonies considering... Are you happy you moved out of CA??
Am I happy??? You have to be kidding, right? I never, ever, think of CA until someone mentions it to me. The ONLY thing I miss is all of our family(my wifes watching me) and our friends...including all the peeps on the forums. Ok, and the Mexican food. The gatherings out here in TN are not quite the same as every weekend in CA. Tho, I am working on it...ie. Brad and his family. The way I put it in a nutshell is...In CA, you live to work, out here in TN, you work to live. My home in CA took right at $8000 a month just for a roof and utilities. I was working 7 days a week just to keep up. My homes are now paid for in TN. Out here my last months electrical bill was $110 and my gas was $7. My car tags are $65 regardless what it is. No state tax.....Best of all I am now having a life with my family. I go to all the practices and games. We are always together. I would not trade that for anything.
Send me your e mail address and I will send you some pictures of the area if your interested......all my attachments are too big for the forums.

[RiverOtter]

...and you are in Chattanooga?!? J/K! I want a city feel but not that big.
Yes, I'm in the Nooga.
Nooga = very little opportunity
Knoxville = more opportunity than the Nooga
Nashville = most opportunity in the state of TN
While Nashville if much bigger that Knox or Chatt I would not consider it a "big" city. Just MHO from a life long resident of TN :wink:

Nooga?? is that anything like Memfrica? :D :D :D

Hey Mrs. C since we got back to town 3 days ago EVERY friend and family member we have has either called or come by our house wanting to see pics and here how we liked TN, and I can assure you that my mom and sister who swore they would never leave CA are going to follow us, and as for the rest of them I'm sure it won't be long because like the friends you talked about most of my friends are not as fortunate as I have been and don't own their own home. A kid that use to work for me that I have become good friends with pays $1200 a month for a crappy 2 bedroom apt here in town in the worst area you can imagine. I told him yesterday he could buy a 3 bedroom starter where we are looking for around 110k and pay about $700 a month for it. You should have seen the lights go on for him :idea: , it was pretty funny. He started thinking out loud, I could transfer there (he's a manager for starbucks) the wife could work part time and have more time with th kids,etc, etc. Think he will go? Somebody has to be the first in every group, I'm just glad that NB shared with all of us how happy he and his family are. The pics of him and his family on the lake didn't hurt either :D

[NashvilleBound]

with that post I have to say "It has begun". :jawdrop:
Whats up there big guy? Stacy callled on the house in our subdivision. We'll get those pictures to you asap.

If I were him... I wouldn't think twice! Sounds like he could have a great change moving out there... My inlaws moved near us right after we moved... didnt' take them long to get out of escondido... you are right though,,, there is always one person that makes the first move... With the houses so damn expensive here in Ca, it's no wonder why people are moving away... not to mention other factors already mentioned...

[CMABadseed]

question for you guys from tenn. i was looking at a couple places back there in April and they were a great buy and still seem to be. what can you guys tell me about 'Watts Bar Lake' and 'Center Hill Lake'. or any areas specifically NOT to look into.
thanks! :)

[jbtrailerjim]

After looking at those pictures of homes there, you guy's sure are tempting me. Those sure are some beautiful homes. I'm so tired of California, all the traffic, the high home prices, and it's just too damn crowded here.

[HavasuDreamin']

For cryin' out loud........keep TN on the down low everybody. :squiggle: The wife and I have been eyeing property on Dale Hollow for a while now. I think within the next 12-24 months we may buy some land to build a vacation home on with the idea of retiring in that home. Wife always wanted a log home which is cool with me as long as I can build a 20' by 40' log barn for all the toys. :rollside:

The "Lake" of choice is Center Hill Lake. 650 miles of pristine shoreline. Coves go for miles and I can ski all day long without ever crossing another wake. If you were to live anywhere in that area and West of there you would be fine. Send me an e mail if you want more info on surrounding areas and include your needs and a little bit about you so I can help you get into the right area. ie..will you be commuting to Nashville everyday or are you out on the water like me 4 days a week? :cool: I have never heard of Watts Bar. Let me know what you need and I'll be happy to send you something.

Thats funny. I am building that exact size toy holder now. Reinforced concrete walls and the like so it does not stand a chance of getting damaged. Figure I put the toys in it and my family and if we get a bad storm and the house blows away at least the important stuff is ok. I think Dale Hollow is probably the nicest lake around if it were not so far out.

[HavasuDreamin']

Yeah........I guess it is about an hour maybe a little more to Nashville. Tell me a little more about Center Hill Lake. Is that where you are located? I guess it is closer to Nashville. I am not that far away, perhaps next summer we can hook up on one of TN's beautiful lakes.
HD :boxed:

[NashvilleBound]

Dale Hollow is about an hour and a half from Nashville due East/NE Center Hill Lake is about 40 minutes from Nashville East/SE We are located in Murfreesboro(where else would that be but in TN eh?) which is 42 minutes from Center Hill eastbound. 42 minutes towing at 75mph just to be clear.
As far as hooking up...anytime. We are on Center Hill 3-4 days a week during summer but will sneak up to Percy Priest's party cove, which makes Copper Canyon in AZ look like childs play, or even to Dale Hollow just to break things up a bit. If you are a boater TN is paradise.....shoot, even if your not it is. I hope these links help.....

I don't know much about the Nashville area lakes. I do my boating on the TN River. Watts Bar is one of the reserviors between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Very big and pretty lake. Here are some pics
Watts Bar Locke

Watts Bar Lake on a Saturday!!!
http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/6801P8070033-med.JPG
I can post more pics of the lake after I'm home. Look into Spring City for Watts Bar lake homes. You should be able to find a real nice house on the lake for $350,000 and a really really nice house for $500,000. Watts Bar is about half way between Chattanooga and Knoxville. So you could work in either place. Or be like Nashville Bound and "retire"
One more thing about the lakes on the TN River. You can hop in your boat and drive it to the Gulf of Mexico and then the world is your oyster!! :cool:

[NashvilleBound]

I used the TN lake link that I just found tody and poosted to see about Watts. Look at that ROUGH TN water.....whewwwww Wouldn't want to get out in that. ;)

[572Daytona]

Very few mosquitoes around here at all and the humidity was worse when I lived in Illinois and I leave my boats in year round. The bluish green color of the water is due to the light reflecting from the sand/clay bottom and not algae blooms like you get in CA. And the stumps are marked and stay in one place unlike shifting sand bars.
Stucco? Plenty of stucco houses in the South East, they just require more maintenance, i.e. frequent painting, so a lot of people prefer the brick. Here are some Stucco lake house for sale on Lanier:

Wonder what that house would cost in CA$

[572Daytona]

It would be tough to find anything comparable in CA, most of the West Coast lake properties that I've seen are on very narrow lots with lots of neighbors close by. My sister lives in Menlo Park in a 40 year old ranch (not on a lake) and she paid more than twice what I paid for my almost new lake house, and I have at least 4 times the square footage.

[NashvilleBound]

Starloans: The green tint in the water is all the reflection from all the green jungle nearby. I have yet to have one mosquito on me at the lake. At some of the cites is another thing. Taxes...I just got my bill and it was $1600 for the year....on a new $300k home. Humidity is FAR less than people imagine...a fraction of somewhere like Texas and such. Fried foods....oh ya. Just kill me now. I am dying for a Carne Asada burrito and some Pollo Loco. I didnt want to scare Brad and his family off with ALL the good food in ONE trip. We were short on time anyways and I am sure we'll have the opportunity to visit some of the local places when he comes back...and the lake.

Rain forecast is iffy at times. On a regular basis you can plan things a few days in advance....it's just in the very middle of summer when the afternoon showers might pop up. We have 6-8 weeks in the spring and fall that are the best weather in the country.

I'm originally from Cali but have been here for 6 years and plan on moving to TN (or Canada, depending what this country is like at that time) in about 4 years. I'm thinking right now of moving to Las Vegas to be closer to family and longer boat season. Up here we get rain pretty constant from Dec. through about June. We have about 3 months of boating weather but the water is butt ass cold year round. What's the Largemouth Bass fishing like there?

How much is that house?
Those houses are all over a million. 1,575,000, 1,350,000 and 1,299,000. Some of the higher priced homes on the lake. You can get something pretty nice in the 500K-700K on the lake.

GOP! We didn't even vote for our "Favorite Son" Algore 4 years ago. Couldn't even carry his own state. If you remember during his "I lost" speach he said he had to go back to the farm (Carthage,TN) and "mend fences". Once that creep hit national politics he blew TN off big time and it bit him. No offence if you're a Dem. Nope, not gonna watch the debate. Can't stand to watch.

You should bring that Ultra back to Kali the first of the year and someone will snap it up. You can store it at my house. Just leave the key. I need a boat for SD and one for Havi anyways. But I'm not buying it off ya. I don't have your kind of money. Do those TN peeps know what an Ultra is?
Are you looking at a cat or V?
Are you pumping mud out there or what??

[NashvilleBound]

No, the pumping is still going in CA. I will get one of the newer Sport Decks out. Your not familiar with E-Ticket? 29ft Luxury Cat? twin 525's?? Its pretty nice. Only thing is he wont budge on the price.... dont get me started on who has how much moola...you know your king. Mortgage brokers=legalized robbery:) I put the sled into all the boat traders in CA-NV-AZ. All comes out this Thursday...I think. Shoot $63,900 it should sell.

RO: I didnt even know you were a family guy. For some reason I figured you as a young middle 20's type. So spit it out....give us some sort of a profile...
Well Mrs Otter says I act like a 20 something sometimes. Nope late 30's family guy. :squiggle:

Hey NB, any boat storage places up by Center Hill Lake so you don't have to tow?

[Mrs. casean]

Am I happy??? You have to be kidding, right? I never, ever, think of CA until someone mentions it to me. The ONLY thing I miss is all of our family(my wifes watching me) and our friends...including all the peeps on the forums. Ok, and the Mexican food. The gatherings out here in TN are not quite the same as every weekend in CA. Tho, I am working on it...ie. Brad and his family. The way I put it in a nutshell is...In CA, you live to work, out here in TN, you work to live. My home in CA took right at $8000 a month just for a roof and utilities. I was working 7 days a week just to keep up. My homes are now paid for in TN. Out here my last months electrical bill was $110 and my gas was $7. My car tags are $65 regardless what it is. No state tax.....Best of all I am now having a life with my family. I go to all the practices and games. We are always together. I would not trade that for anything.
Send me your e mail address and I will send you some pictures of the area if your interested......all my attachments are too big for the forums.
I can see why you are happier there! That is the quality of life... work to live... not live to work... and be there for your kids and family...

You can put it in the marina...which the crime is ZERO. Or there are several storage places just for boaters at almost any point along the lake depending on where your coming in from.

To be honest I got totally caught up in the mo money lifestyle and it finally came to a peak about 3 years ago with some real drama(included two years in Federal Court..no it was not drugs!). It made me open my eyes and see we only live once and its just not worth it. My list "Now" goes like this...Faith, Family and Friends....from there its all a bonus.

Nashvillebound... that is so great to hear... most people don't do that... and get sooo caught up in making money instead of their family...
