Fiber Optic Moves into Mammoth

Paul Oster — Sun, 19 May 2013 00:52:11 +0000

After many months of watching crews work both north and south on Hwy. 395, the crews recently started working very close to home. They have been working inward from Hwy. 395 on Sawmill Road and were drilling very close to Hwy. 203 near McDonalds in the last week. This makes sense because Sawmill Road is [...]

Mammoth New Listing 145 Beaver Trail

Paul Oster — Thu, 09 May 2013 18:22:50 +0000

The result is a smaller home with TONS of utility that is modern-chic that marries-in many of the LA mid-century features and feel. Certainly not for everybody, but nothing was done cheaply or [...]

Paul Oster — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:34:09 +0000

This is something different in the REO world…. This is the “classic” Mammoth fourplex that was very typical of the early 1990′s. I sat on the ML Planning Commission during that period and we had public hearings on many of these buildings/developments.

Mammoth Short Sale Burn Out

Paul Oster — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:34:41 +0000

The Mammoth foreclosure pipeline will soon take a respite of unknown duration. It’s all part of the ongoing “controlled burn.” The California Legislature is the major culprit this time.

Paul Oster — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 19:00:43 +0000

My original slogan of “expect the unexpected” in the foreclosure and REO realm has recently moved in more twisted directions.
