SGIP was very professional and understanding of my situation....  However, my luck with him wasn't there... Not to be a party puffer, but I wish I could say the same thing that all you are saying.  May be it was not SGIP's fault and may be my application was one of those "impossible" one. ...

It's third party sellers so it's not even Amazon Fulfillment.  All 3 vendors have high multiple ratings and one said they ship via FedEx and will drop off at the front or in the garage.  I was thinking as long as it's in the garage, I can have the moving company to put in the kitchen when I move...

Is Portola Spring 3 still FCB territory?  I heard Eastwood is like 90% up but a few times I went to Portola Spring 3, I saw diverse families...  I thought the national cemetery was doing the magic, but I also heard that Portola High School attracted many top students from Jeffrey Trail Jr. High...

I've been looking for a refrigerator and the one I'm interested in is about $2300 from all websites mentioned including home depot. but I found from Amazon.com that it's $400 cheaper with free shipping and no tax but shipped from NY to CA.  Would you buy these big appliance from Amazon sellers?

I can't say much about electricity noise and health concerns since a new home may be far enough from the substation.  Also there are power lines going right though some neighborhoods and people have been living there for decades, even next to other substation. However, it will be a tough when...

I'm sure engineered woods and solid woods are expensive for reasons and have their benefits.  Since I don't have a lot of money to put on the flooring, it was pretty obvious choice to go with laminate with just financial reason alone.  From the least expensive place, I got $3 per sq ft...

I'm getting estimates in now.  One contractor mentioned about water damages on flooring.  Tiles and laminate/engineered wood have obviously good and bad but if it's significant amount of water flooding, wooden floor tend to hold the water and damage mostly the flooring.  Tiles will let the...

Folks, Our new construction home will come with the basic tile and carpet.  We are planning to replace them with laminate or engineering wood flooring.  I would like to get some feedback from the folks who've done this way. 1) The kitchen extends to the dining room and will have basic...

Nothing illegal.  I would make sure the agent gets in the sales office and fill out the necessary form and get a copy of it first before you start talking to the sales folks. I did it with AW.  We are waiting for the escrow to close and get that big check... ;)

Just a stupid and insignificant comment here... I noticed that Portola Springs in general, does not offer that many basketball court.  I only saw a half court in the PS 1, one full court in Portola Place, a half court in PS 3 and none in this community park.  Also there were no baseball field...

Yup.  I suspect (just a guess. hold your horses) that some of these (if not most) were just sold to mainland Chinese folks as a bundle.  I don't remember seeing ads, open house, or grand opening for the already build condos and see many FOBs walking to DJ all the time as I'm driving by... 

Inc, Did you mean PS 4 or 5 that CalPac is building something similar to Legado?

I don't know if you are 100% serious or not but I guess you are right that some young folks were doing the web design.  The words like BS, freaking, hell, dope... are norm for them. Ummm the phallic symbol...  I didn't see it until you mentioned it.  I thought it was a key hole or door knob but...

I have nothing to do with this website and company.  Just skimmed through this.  Depends on what they can actually deliver but I like the transparent bidding if that's really going to happen. Or... it could be a big let down like redfin agents... www.reali.com

It's not just Irvine, pretty much all OC.  Cynthia needs another income from a friend, spouse or business partner (at least to double the income to $80k) for $450k 2 bed condo, or a big help from her parents or family member.  I was having conversation with an older couple who had a grown up...

Legado is built by Brookfield.  May be Cal Pac shares the same plans.

IrvineHouseHunter didn't say it was a surprise...  That's almost 4 months ago and I still see a similar make of onlookers for Legado/Cressa (personal observation)

I had to write LOEs for $24.95 monthly payment for my filter water, regular donation to my church, $65 for lawn care that I was paying for my landlord and getting reimbursed, $1000 deposit shown up on my checking and another $2500 deposit randomly...  This is all for getting a jumbo conventional...

Yes this is reasonable but even after submitting documents and contact information of our 401k plan manager of hardship withdrawal availability, big banks still wouldn't be satisfied and kept on asking for same documents for some reason. Fortunately, for my case, an independent mortgage lender...

USCTrojanCPA is right that every lender is different.  I don't know if it's comforting to know or should scare me that USCTrojan is also having difficult time getting all of his income counted and writing LOEs left and right. My case, even with 60% of 401k was well more than 2 year worth of...
