    Allergies in Irvine

    It's impossible to give you a complete answer without doing a full medical history and allergy testing to see what it is you are allergic to. The short answer is that most of Southern California has much of the same airborne pollen and mold counts and distribution. Sometimes people will say they...

    The perfect BK style house designed just for IHBers.

    Like I said in an earlier post, this has been done before in identically-sized lots in the same development by the same builder and some people just preferred the lane-loaded look and some people didn't. One thing I didn't like about the lane-loaded homes is that they had a shorter setback from...

    Carrying your home during the downturn, and then selling it when the real estate market recovers.

    "A wise man told me early in my career ?Buy things that appreciate, RENT things that depreciate?." That wise man was spouting nonsense. Do you rent or lease your home furnishings/furniture? How about any fine jewelry? Your TV? The wheels on your car? These are all things that are easily...

    "Both Cal Tech and Harvey Mudd do not have graduste programs while the larger schools offer advance degrees." True of HMC, but not of Cal Tech (http://www.gradoffice.caltech.edu/).
