Good point. Yes, lots of people here have high salary holding important jobs that they seem to be on this site at least 10 hours a day. Way to go. I have not checked this website for a few days and it just amazed me how those "high salary" people apparently have nothing to do at work so they...

IrvineRenter, With all these knowledges and good articles from home pages, you should be at least a CFO for some banks and be making 7 digit income. Why are you still renting? You dont mind if I asked.

stupidest uneducated guess i've seen.

so you decide to buy in AV? 2 story house is a good choice...3 story is a little too much stair...

Some ARM loans actually increase pricipal balance over time because of lower monthly mortgage, the extra interest amount is added toward principal balance. you need to find out from your lender if this is the case. You definitely dont want to own a loan for 500k and 10 years later, you end up...

Sorry 24 and skek, I'm not the type of guy who flip flops my words so I will not edit my post. It is what it is. I dont really care about exposing those links. I have nothing to hide. You know forums like this one should be a place for all of us come together, sharing opinions, ideas...

ipoplayer, Ipoplayer, I am sitting my office working and reading your post and I start to laugh. The more you talk, the more uneducated you show. You are probably a lonely jobless douchebag who is frustrated at the world and find a mean to take it on someone. Let other members here judge...

scubasteve, The more opinions, the better. Ipoplayer has some valid advices. Why dont you try to collect a many as possible and discuss them with your fiance, your family members. These advices will definitely help you evaluate your decision on buying a house. Good luck.

it's hard to pick any other city over Irvine. if you think irvine is a more desired city than AV, maybe you should consider Irvine.

+1 on living on the place for 5 years and location. Location, location, location. You rather get a small house in really good city than big house in bad city. I recently discuss buying a house with my current boss ( who is the CEO of DRI Default Managements, very knowledgable in real estate...

scuba steve, Most likely you will get the advice "dont buy it yet, just wait" from lots of members here since most of them are renters and waiting to jump on when they think the market is right for their own analysis. you do what you think is right for your situation...not market condition...

we dont need another airport 7 miles away from John wayne. People of OC voted "NO" on the airport so let it be.

Thanks for adding gas into the fire. Hustler like you find this very entertaining. BTW, I'm Golden Bear alumni but my wife is Bruin though. But I am a big Trojan football fan. Go USC.

LOL, you all are so funny. Who beats up who? I dont think violence is the way to iron out differences. I just want to talk to ipoplayer about housing market. Nothing hostile. I totally understand his intention saving me money. Different peopple have different ways, strategies looking at...
