I searched around but could not find a way to do this. Perhaps it does not exist. There is a specific user whose posts I do not wish to see. It would be amazing if I could put that user on a "block list" so their useless posts are invisible to me.

Interesting that they are using the old El Toro airbase to stage all the tankers and other firefighting aircraft. It turns out that place is useful for something after all!

Wow, I wonder if talkirvine is monitored by owning, because I just got responses from both my loan officer and processor! I'll paste them below in case anybody wishes to comment: Response from loan officer: We are now just waiting for funds to disburse to escrow. There is nothing left for you...

I'll chime in here with my recent experience with owning. A few months back I refinanced with Colossus Bank at 2.625% and no fees, and I was very happy with that. However, rates continued moving down, so now I'm in the process of refinancing with owning.com at 2.125% and no fees. The closing...

owning.com just pumped up their rates. 15yr fixed sub-$510k went from 2.125% to 2.375%. Edit: actually they just explained to me that they are now advertising a different product. the 2.125 rate was with 1 point. 2.375 is no points.

I installed a Toto Washlet in my place a few years ago, and I will never go back. I bought the cheapest model from Amazon for $270, but with the knowledge I have now I would be willing to pay much, much more for it. I recently came of age for my first colonoscopy, which involved guzzling a...

Let me help you out with this archived copy: http://archive.vn/O5i5M

Thanks for the advice. I do appreciate it. I'm not all that upset about the situation, but I happened to recall that I have a "legal insurance" plan through my employer. So, I spoke with one of the attorneys who is part of the plan. There is going to be some action here... I don't know if it...

I am entirely confident that, if we had known about the asbestos and asked her to fix it, she would have refused. She made it quite clear during the entire process that she did not want to fix ANYTHING. As a matter of fact, when we met her at the house after the closing to get the keys, she...

The neighborhood is Orangetree behind Irvine Valley College. We are actually very happy with the house and the neighborhood, and we are glad that we bought it when we did. The prices in the neighborhood seem a bit lower than the rest of Irvine. I'm guessing that is because the houses are small...

Just want to further add that I appreciate everybody's responses here. I especially like irvine buyer's idea of going to the DRE. I may end up going that route... Although it's kind of a side issue, here are some details about the furnace situation for those who asked: when the furnace died...

So here is a little update: I emailed the seller and, without asking for money, I informed her about the situation, pointed out that she left item C1 blank on the disclosure form, and asked her if she knew about the asbestos. I also included an estimate of what it will cost to replace the...

Thanks for the reply qwerty. Yeah I'm not hoping for much here, but I think I might contact her and ask. Doesn't hurt to ask, right? I'm attaching a scan of the disclosure page. Notice how she left item C1 unchecked? Kind of sneaky...

I'd like to get your opinions about this situation. I bought a home in Irvine in January 2017. The home was built in 1977 and still has the original furnace/blower unit, which just died last month. I had several HVAC contractors come in to give me estimates to replace the furnace, and they all...
