<p>If you can deal with the language barrier, try this guy:</p> <p>Nam Kheo: 714-719-9158</p> <p>He moved my cousins from L.A. to H.B. for $200 and me from Garden Grove to H.B. for $120. I had a LOT of stuff but they finished in ~3 hours. This was 4 years ago, so I don't know if he's...

<p>Check out this thread: <a href="http://forums.irvinehousingblog.com/discussion/1466/avenue-e">http://forums.irvinehousingblog.com/discussion/1466/avenue-e</a></p> <p>I found a bunch of sex offenders around the area on the Megan's Law website.</p>

<p>Shooby: That's a pretty good price. The 60 series is pretty good - you won't be disappointed. I got lucky on Black Friday and bought the 4066F (40") for $1150. It's hanging in my bedroom, 2 feet away from my bed.</p>

<p>PeterUK: Sorry for the late reply. The prices won't go up. A big reason why Samsung is building a new fab is to reduce costs. The S-LCD JV will max out at G8 (2.2M x 2.5M). Samsung is looking to get up to G11 (3.2M x 3.6M). This will allow it to make bigger screens at lower costs. These...

PeterUK is right. My company makes equipment for LCD manufacturing, and Sony/Samsung's S-LCD JV is one of our customers. Most of the Sony's out there today are made from this fab and you can buy a Samsung for less $$ than the comparable Sony set. However, Samsung announced plans that it's...

Wow, I'm trying to get rid of my 36" Sony too. I told all my friends, family, co-workers, etc. that it's free to whoever can haul it away. No takers. It's just sitting in the corner collecting dust.

I agree, they have some nice floor plans, but I have to say that the area is pretty bad. There's a run-down Stater Bros., Taco Bell, and the houses around there aren't exactly charming. Also, according to the Megan's Law website, there are 13 sex offenders within a 1 mile radius. MIGHT...

<p>Brandywine in Westminster? I can't imagine where, unless it's by Bolsa Chica.</p> <p>jbatz - I put my car back to stock and will sell it soon. I'm getting older and gotta drive what my peers drive, not a rice rocket. Will probably pick up the G37.</p>

And you think this mall will eventually make the area safer? Last time I checked, Bolsa isn't exactly utopia. I'm not bashing Asians BTW - I happen to be Vietnamese.

I visited Avenue E two weeks ago. Echoing what Reason said, the area is pretty seedy. What really killed it for me was that the other prospective buyers viewing the property... let's just say (to be polite) were not professional types. Oh yeah, there's a $270 HOA fee for what??? A gate and...

<p>Info from my friend who's a broker. Subprime, as we all know, is kaput, and Alt-A is now starting to follow suit. Reason for all this activitiy is because investors will not touch Neg-am or 2/3 year ARMs with a 40-foot pole. Brokers now have to pay to get these loans through. Here's a...

<p>Hi Earl, I am Asian (albeit very Americanized) and I understand your concern. I'm currently shopping for a home in OC and I'm trying to avoid having too many Asian neighbors. Momopi is right, that older/immigrant Asians do keep to themselves. I am currently living in San Jose in a little...

<p>So you didn't consider Cambridge Lane because it's in Columbus Square, YET you visited and considered Lennar properties Meriwether and Cantara (from upper 900s), both in Columbus Square.</p>

It depends on the builder. Avenue One (K. Hov) was offering a 5% broker co-op. My realtor friend inquired at San Carlos (Lyon) but they told him they don't pay the co-op but there was a $1000 referral fee.
