(sarcasm intended)The nasty investor (me) got my "come uppance" and the "victim" (him) got free lodging and free legal for almost two years.I've made way too much money to be bitter but it is just a warning to move people out when they sell.That's the short version.

Poor snow conditions at Mammoth are likely superior to average conditions in the So Cal Mtns but it sure is nice to be able to do a day trip to go skiing in the local mtns (but they are not comparable, if you have the time and money go to Mammoth).However, when I have gone to Mammoth in the Summer, I find it easy to get lodging on short notice at a fraction of the price (versus my beach STRs are virtually always booked at least a month ahead even in the off season but also a reduced price).
