    Need advice on Portola Springs - 25 Conservancy - Short sale

    Seller/lender will not cover any repair on a short sale.  You buy the home "as is".  You may want to check if there is any delinquent HOA, tax, or other liens too since you will be responsible for those costs if the lender doesn't cover them (most of the time they don't cover).  Is the home...

    VRBO / AIRBNB - starting to show up in Irvine

    Interesting.  My buddy just told me this morning he booked Park Place Apt on Jamboree for a week via AirBnB.  All CC&Rs that I've seen only allow 1Y lease.

    Remove the Lock feature

    From TLONL: Don't do it.  The consequences for restoring the posts will make me take even more action and the situation will be worse than it already is.
