@Rose Lover ... Having trouble figuring out why Obama doesn't like these homeowners? Purchase price $847,000 is out of reach of the middle class and falls squarely in the lap of all those nasty folks that have gone to school, worked hard, established successful careers, and/or started businesses .... And haven't paid their "fair share" when examined through the ideology of the Divider-In-Chief.   more ›

I have toured this home. It has many of the signature elements of a McDonald design. With the good comes the bad. The HVAC only serves the top main floor; there is no AC on the lower levels including the master bedroom. The home site is precarious due to the home's positioning on a hillside. Reinforcements to the "cat walk" which borders the outside foundation were necessary to keep them from …   more ›
