$835 in CV East... what is going on with this market. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/100-Holly-Spgs-92618/home/167404037

CPC?  My annual statement hasn't hit yet, so waiting for that to happen before I call.  Most folks are getting $150. Cares, did you open the CSR as soon as it was available? I'm wondering if relationship length might have something to do with how much credit they give (since this is the first...

My wife and I really like this house, too bad we aren't in the market right now! Driveway entrance reminds me of Juliet's Balcony in Woodbury, another floorplan we really like.  Except this house is in Columbus Grove which is less dense and centrally located in IRV.  This will sell quickly.

Yup - Matt knows his detail equipment, and no one else is doing what he's doing.  He recently did a series of reviewing every single Milwaukee FUEL power tools (though take this review series with a grain of salt as he isn't the most mechanically inclined). This is one of those things where you...

This was explicitly communicated to us when we bought our home from CalPac back in 2016.  We were told that even though 86-1 would mature, the amount of MR paid would remain at $1,700 with a hike in 09-1 until the the bond matures, and I'm seeing that on my ptax as well.

Wanted to provide a quick datapoint for a refi w/ LenderFi via backdoor application from the bogleheads refi megathread (Hi Chikid24! see you posting there all the time) LTV~64% high conforming 30-year fixed @2.625% (from 3.5%).  Applied 8/7, locked rate 8/13, signed closing docs w/ notary on...

CVE is definitely undesirable from a school perspective.  But being very undesirable?  Maybe for your personal wants, but the initial pace of sales and resales (for at least the detached condos) say otherwise. 

I'm just going to echo what everyone else is saying.  Go to Martin (USCTrojanCPA) and you won't be disappointed.  Bought a home in 2016 with Martin, he knows Irvine very well.

Yup, I calculated using cost instead of fair market value.  Either way, low taxes in CVE.

CVE is ~1.3%

I saw that as well John (been following that thread daily for datapoints).  I just applied to LenderFi yesterday as well and am waiting to hear back from the agent.  Once I get an LE, going to counter Owning and see if they can match or beat.

Just got off a call with owning to re-fi to the 2.625% rate on a high conforming loan.  I was quoted 2.625% with half a pt cost.  Going to try and get other lenders to match or beat with no closing costs.  800+ FICO score with very little utilization. 

Doing some late night thinking, as MRs rise around surrounding neighborhoods (e.g. great park neighborhoods), and Base Camp/Five Point X eventually get built up, would that growing MR variance consistently increase the floor values of CVE with low MR?

Haha, you know damn well I will too!  :P  I'll always need in a manual lightweight NA in my life  8)

Unfortunately it seems that Tesla's quality control is still not up to par.  Sad because if they can get their QC in check, their cars would be objectively better in many characteristics, but the QC is holding them back. I took delivery of an early RWD Model 3 in 2018 (which I'm selling now)...
