Rubio's working class house for sale for $675,000
He bought it for $550,000 seven years ago. I dont know in Miami, but in MA, these are not working class neighborhoods.
http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml
What Rubio did not mention is that the West Miami house where he and his family reside is currently listed for sale for $675,000.
...
According to the Miami Herald, Rubio and his wife, Janette, bought the 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house in 2005 for $550,000. The home was placed on the market in November 2012 and has seen a $20,000 increase in value. Overall, Miami home values are up 2 percent month over month, and up 16 percent from a year ago.

Here is what you get for $675k in the city Fullerton where we lived in CA. Fullerton is way cheaper than the LA area or any area closer to the ocean.

Here is what you get for around $675k in El Segundo, where my husbands ex-employer is.

Yeah, you are really living high on the hog in Miami or CA in a $675k house. Anyone know how much Obama's house is worth in Chicago?
-
Never mind, I Nadined it.
President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, own this home in the Kenwood community area of Chicago. It is situated in the 5000 block of South Greenwood. They paid $1.65 million for the Georgian-style home quickly after he became a senator in 2005.
Obama's house in the Hyde Park section of Chicago has 7 bathrooms, 4 fireplaces and a wine cellar. The square footage is listed as 6,199 square feet.

$675,000 doesn't exactly get you a top notch house in Miami, DUmbasses. Beg's links are a good example.
When I see a few of you DUmmies start bitching about the wealth and lifestyle of some of your liberal heroes, I'll at least give you an ounce of credit for actually believing in your anti-rich cause, (as DUmb and destructive as it may be) rather than viewing you as just blind partisan hypocritical ****stains.
-
7 bathrooms?
You know Michelle ain't cleaning them on her own.

The only thing Michelle cleans is her plate at feeding time.

Aw, now, give her more credit than that. You don't get that big of an ass just cleaning your own plate.
"You 'gun eat that?"

675K will get you a near mansion here.

I'm almost certain Harry Reid has a house worth more than a million dollars in a city (Searchlight, NV) that is for sale. The city, not the house.

Any CC folks want to pitch in?

I just donated and got myself one of these LINK (http://www.reclaimamericapac.com/) :-)

I'm not sure there is a house valued that high here. Maybe some of the farms in the surrounding area are though.
-
Anything above $400k around here and you're just quibbling over details and/or square footage.
I think my parents sold their last house for $350k with two floors and a basement. Nothing spectacular, but very nicely finished.

Thing is there is already talks on DU about Kerry running for President next go around. You want to talk about out-of-touch? Between him and Teressa Rubio has chump change, and Romney isn't even close to their net worth. Yet Romney's wealth was brought up 13 times more than Kerry's when he was running.

Miami is a mix. In the neighborhood I grew up in which is solidly middle class you can get a home for 180-250. That is comparable to here in central OH and I know where I'd rather live. :-) I assume he may be in the Coral Gables or Coconut Grove areas. I really wouldn't call that area middle class to be honest. The area I think he probably lives in is definitely upper-middle class and always has been.
Rubio's home:
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6060-SW-13th-St-West-Miami-FL-33144/80784573_zpid/
On edit, I was right. He lives in the Coral Gables area. Definitely not what I think most of us would define as 'working class' and really never has been to be honest. Look at an area like 'Cutler Bay' or even 'Homestead'(and that might be leaning ghetto since Clinton scrapped the airbase back in the 90's after Andrew) or 'Dade City' for something more 'working class'. Now that doesn't excuse the DUmmies hypocrisy though over the whole home issue. Rubio's home is nice, but it's not a mansion in that area by any means. I see some bozo on a blog talking about how he has a pool and several of his neighbors do. Dumbasses, it's Miami...scores of working class even choose to have such a luxury in their backyards :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: My ex and i were middle class and when we lived in Phoenix we had a *gasp* pool. We chose it over some other luxury and designer items we could have had in the home believing it more useful for the way of life we were lucky to have out there weather wise. Now a pool in your backyard in Ohio, that's a luxury because the cost versus its usefulness considering the weather are hard to justify.
-
Every other house in Vegas has a pool. Phoenix was the same way. We would have one if they weren't so expensive to maintain.
-
Of topic, but I have a pool and they are not that expensive to maintain. Put in a salt system and most of the work is done for you. The pump (which I run for 8 hours a day) only upped the bill by around $35.00 a month.

how soon til pedorast (alleged) harry reid claims that he heard from an un-named source that Rubio doesn't pay his taxes?
-
That kind of money will get you a 100 to 200 acres and a decent 2,000 square foot house here.....it's a few miles from town or the nearest store but WTH nobody bothers you.

When PacTel asked me to move out to Ca I spent some time looking around. One DAY, ONE HOUSE! I was working out of PacTel on a consulting gig in Walnut Creek. I am driving down the center of town S and there is a sign 'Open House' I pull over.
I live in Ft Worth Texas (Colleyville, little town next to DFW airport). I have a almost 4000 sq foot home, 1/3 acre, 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home. Its a nice neighborhood, small enclave of 22 homes (not gated) nothing flashy or look at me home homes, all professionals, quarterback for LA Rams lives across the street, nice quite people that waved at you, we all knew each other just a low key but a nice place to live with your family.
The open house is a wood sided home that sets on a 3800 sq ft lot, the house if 900 sq ft. The house needs work, its old and due to terrancing along the street the house sits on and is at the base of the terraced hill the house floods. The buyer will need to install a drainage system before they can get a cert of occupancy from the city, est cost to solve the draining and flooding problem is $20-$25,000, house is listed for $680,000 + repair.
This was back in the late 90's and home values were out of control
I told PacTel I would prefer to continue to commute from DFW...

I don't want to pay that much.

I had your basic starter house on a postage-sized lot in Fountain Valley. It sold in 2006 for more than what Rubio is asking for his place.
I've also seen what that will buy in some areas in MA. How's the average price looking these days in places like Martha's Vineyard, Marblehead, or Cambridge, DUmmies?
Yeah, I'll wait.

We can be fairly sure Sen. Rubio bought his house on his own without some shady deal with shady characters like Tony Rezko did for Mr. and Mrs. Obamalamadingdong, who it sounds like had a lot of financial issues and piss-poor credit before he hit the big time with his fake life story book.

Difference between Obama and Rubio...Rubio is not a millionaire like Obama and Rubio has always had a job and made what money he has he EARNED IT by WORKING FOR IT

$675,000 does not get a lot in Miami. That amount barely gets by in San Francisco or Manhattan. Bad comparison.
-
I just browsed Miami via Zillow.com - For the most part, any home valued at less than 250K is a Cracker-Jack box or a condo.

That's simply not true. you have to know zipcodes in Miami and their corresponding areas and price points to get an idea of what you can get in Miami. As I said suburbs like Cutler Bay(in my day Cutler Ridge), North Miami Beach, Homestead, etc have a more middle class standard of living. Also some of the 'cracker boxes' you are talking about are your standard 1500-1800 sq foot standard south florida living. They generally are a bit smaller sq footage on the inside and people generally lush up and pool up the backyards and they are used as additional living space because of the weather conditions. Those same houses are also much older. For the smaller home, the lots is generally bigger for Miami then the newer builds that are 2 feet of distance short of being condos. Miami is a like a lot of beachfront communities in that prior to the days of excess when it comes to housing, generally one had a modest home where they could do their basics because they spent a lot of their times living outside. It's one of the benefits of living in an area like that. I know I could tolerate 1100sq foot in Miami better then 1100 sq foot up here in the great lakes where you are inside almost half the year.
Now all that said, when the crash came down, home values did lower significantly in the area. It's actually far more affordable to live down there then it has been in years. My dad's home is standard south florida fare...mid 2000 sq feet, pool, enclosure on pool, nice lot because it's an older one story home, etc and his is now worth under 250k--at one time it was valued at 500K and he bought it years ago at 173K. Now, the thing about Miami too is you can have a nice middle class to upper middle class home up the street from a home worth millions. People buy lots of 2 or 3 homes there(or use to) and build gigantic homes.
Anyway, interesting little tidbit on that note. My brother used to caddy a lot of the celebrity golfing events that would go on in the area when he was in high school. He went to school with more then a few who are dating, married to, or children of various sports stars or celebs. :rotf: I got the lowdown on the 'bitch or not'. :-) He loved doing that but he's a sports nut. He could probably watch paint dry if there was some competition in it. :-)
I just took a peek at my last home I lived in with my parents in Miami...181K--2000sq foot, covered pool, 3/2...it's in one of those bedroom communities I mentioned;-) Before the bubble burst that was up to about 350K. It makes me happy though to see those prices and the area more affordable. One of the ideas I've toyed with depending on how things go in the next few years is moving back down there closer to family. And the prices I'm seeing for areas I know are acceptable for my standard living are actually affordable. Man, what I wouldn't love to walk back out the beaches and jetty's someday. :wink:
