We were considering buying in Camden. The issue being that we couldn't move in till February and if interest rates change we're still locked in and unable to get our $10k deposit back. Only other area of concern is that we have three cars and our options were either to buy on Severyn or near the...

It may not be a popular answer but I didn't really get anything out of UCLA job wise. I've been very successful from hands on experience, and not once has any employer said boo about UCLA. I have multiple degrees from the school but don't think I would have been in any better/worse shape had I...

For what it's worth Qwerty my parents bought a model house across from the club house for about $250 sq ft last October. We were considering a Verandas but didn't want to spend quite that much. At under $275 a sq ft its not bad and yes in my talks with Irvine Renter I think we're in agreement...

Ladera is fantastic if you have kids. My big negative with Ladera is high HOA, taxes as well as the location. Unless you work down there it is quite a drive to get to Irvine for work.

I guess it all depends. We are paying $1695 in Woodbury for a 2/2 top level. We were given a rent increase in December with the option of staying for a year. We negotiated no rent increase and a six month lease extension so I guess it depends who you talk to.

Unless you're east of the 55 I wouldn't recommend Costa Mesa if you have kids unless you're going to send them to private schools.

That would rent out for about $2200-2400 a month as for that same amount you can get a place at Woodbury Place.

I was looking at a place yesterday that hypothetically would sell for $425 - 450k and using IrvineRenter's calculator after tax savings, lost income to down payment, etc would be about $2500. This is a 3/3 and based upon friends rental properties and what I'm seeing that seems to be the going...

Anyone have the screenshots on Laguna Niguel data from Foreclosure Radar?

How are prices in Irvine effectively flat while other areas are seeing tremendous loses? I know that it has to do with desirable locations and schools but you would think that there would be at least a 10% decrease if the surrounding cities have seen 20%+ depreciation.
