    What is your effective tax rate?

    Just curious to see what people's effective tax rates are? I finally wrapped up filing my taxes this year, and I definitely think I'm not aggressive enough at minimizing my taxes. Unfortunately I'm a renter :-) so no mortgage interest deduction, but I feel like I'm being too "by-the-book" and...

    Any recommendations on financial advisors?

    Mcdonna1980 I would be interested in advisors who are good at tax law/minimization, estate law, etc.. I can PM you my details, but I've been actually starting to look around for somebody who can help me with financial/tax planning. I self-manage my investments, but I just don't have the...

    Any employment lawyers here?

    Changing jobs (in professional services) and would like to understand the enforceability of non-solicitation clauses (for both clients and employees). Seems there is a lot of gray area and would be hard to prove. Any insights would be appreciated.

    Anaheim Hills

    <p>What's the skinny on Anaheim Hills? Every time I fly into SNA and peer out the window I see beautiful homes and wonder how it compares to other OC suburbs. </p> <p>How does it compare in terms of school district, pricing, resident characteristics, etc.?</p>

    Transportation to LAX airport from OC area

    <p>Go with PrimeTime Shuttle. They have GoSedan service (not shared - your own vehicle) which is a brand new Chrysler 300. From Irvine (Woodbury) to LAX door-door is 94 bucks (includes 18% tip). </p> <p>I've done the rental car thing - by the time you have to fill up and take the rental bus...

    Irvine is not rich

    <p><em>While TIC likes to fancy Irvine as an modern, well-to-do locale, based on the income its residents generate that picture is an illusion. Irvine might be a safe place to live and have great public schools, well-maintained infrastructure, lots of parks and recreation, and good jobs, but it...

    Why should feng shui be considered?

    <p>Did anybody watch the "Property Ladder" episode on TLC this weekend? Two flippers from Garden Grove.</p> <p>Needless to say, I had preconceived beliefs about Feng Shui and now my views of this philosphy are even more "interesting"...</p> <p>Perhaps it was simply this fanatical guy...

    IAC Apartment Rates

    <p>jw - </p> <p>Get to know your property manager (and keep in touch with your initial leasing agent you worked with). It doesn't hurt to drop in periodically and chit-chat with the staff (especially when you pick up your packages). We rented from IAC for over two years and come renewal time...

    Foreign money, who are they?

    <p>Both of you are foolish. What I would expect from typical Americans...sad sad country we live in. </p> <p><strong>awgee</strong> - "because they aren't smart enough to find appreciating assets in which to invest." - the assets they are investing in are their <strong>KIDS</strong>. If you...

    The Irvine/OC price premium

    <p>CK,</p> <p>Sorry but I think you a bit out of touch. Irvine median will not be falling to 450k. Prices here have historically been higher and will continue to command a premium. If anything, housing will simply not rise as quickly as before (flatten or decline slightly). </p> <p>It kills...
