Damn...I'm a few years away from 55. Otherwise, I could have used this Prop 19 twice when I moved from my Eastvale home to Bluffs and then from Bluffs to Cielo. :cry:

I agree with you. My old home in Eastvale has the laundry room right at the entrance from the garage before getting into the house. Didn't have to worry about noise since we also used to do laundry at night. Right now, the laundry is right next to my son's room. We now do laundry on Saturday...

It's already too late if you already sign up for the priority list. However, if you were to work with Martin (usctrojancpa), then he's more than hapy to split the commission with you.

If you end up buying Arbor, then you will most likely be able to get insured by Westwood, who works with Shea Homes. I bought Cielo Plan 1 and was quoted $966 per year by Westwood. As mentioned above, PS is NOT in the fire hazard zone, so you shouldn't have a problem getting fire insurance. In...

They all do. Cielo gives $50k broker's commission. Olivewood gives $40k. Azul gives $20k. Not sure about Arbor, Fiore, and Sierra, though, since I never checked with them. Since Shea is quite generous, I expect Arbor to gives at least $20k. Fiore and Sierra might give $10k or so. These...

As far as I know, Cal Pac had incentives, but I don't know if they still have them. When I signed up on the Azul priority list, they had the 2/1 with US Bank, meaning first year you get -2% and second year you get -1% off the mortgage rates. After that (third year), it goes back to whatever rate...

"SafeWise said it compiled the rankings by using the most up-to-date FBI data -- including statistics on violent crime, property crime, gun violence and package theft." Must have been package theft that did Irvine in, since the other lists are based on violent crimes. :ROFLMAO: Also, it's...

Why would you sell when you locked in below 3% to buy elsewhere and take out a loan at 7%? You'll probably have less buyers, but investors are paying mostly cash, so high rates won't affect them. Just like IHO said, inventory will stay low unless rates start dropping, which would allow...

To me, that's a selfish reason. It's for their own good rather than for the kids' good.

When you're desperately trying to move your money out of China, ANYTIME is a good time to buy. They just want to park their money somewhere in the US, and needless to say, Irvine is the best place for FCBs to park their money at. A lot of Youtube RE agents had been pushing Rancho Mission Viejo...

I think these people are delusional, but we'll see if there are desperate FCBs. :ROFLMAO:

No, you're only guaranteed to be able to transfer to any UC of your choice, but not necessarily the major of your choice. There is a reason the capped majors are called capped majors. They have limited space.

Mostly Computer Science and Engineering related. Different UCs would have other capped majors as well. UCSD, for example, also include Biological Sciences, Physics and Public Health as capped majors. In short, capped majors are majors with limited space, but widely popular, thus having very low...

UCs don't look at SAT score anymore, not even for tiebreakers. JC to UC route is fairly easy for non-capped majors. For capped majors, forget about it. But then again, it's practically impossible to get top UCs for capped majors unless you have great GPA and lots and lots of non-academic...

Back to ridiculous prices for Olivewood. 😂
