$2M 4/3 SFR 2500 sq ft in Irvine would rent for $6500. Monthly cost for the owner is at least double even it purchased in the last few years.

Fanpalm basically borders Jeffery/Long Meadow and will get MUCH more road noise than Twin Gables. I think most people would consider Fanpalm an inferior location. The seller of Twin Gables got pretty lucky by getting a Chinese investor as a buyer (my guess all cash). Most likely they needed...

21 Face Palm is priced far too high. The market has largely returned to late-2023/2024 pricing levels, and I believe this property needs to be priced below $1.95M to have a realistic chance of selling. The extended days on market are also contributing to the lack of buyer interest. And yes...

I swapped over to the 3Gig plan. It gets you new fiber jack HW so if you downgrade back to 1 gig, you'll actually get faster speeds than before (10-15%).

The third floor may appeal to a small subset of buyers, but the reality is that most people shopping for single-family homes strongly prefer a two-story layout over three levels. The seller's biggest mistake was pricing the home initially as if it were comparable to a traditional two-story...

The solar installation doesn't look correct. The placement of the panels looks all over the place. Also, the 3rd floor is a huge negative as this is an unusual configuration for a SFR. The real issue is the days on market for the listing. The pricing history shows that the seller and/or...

I have 2 LVP nose pieces on stairs that need to be replaced (they are loose and show damage due to wear and tear now). The original installer is not interested in such a small job (looks like a bad install to begin with). I'm having difficulty finding contractors who have access to the nose...

Both El Torito locations are closed now (Irvine and Tustin)

If there is a reassessment, it's only on the value of the additional sq ft added. The effect of the reassessment will be much less than purchasing a similar property at full price. The 4bd with 3rd floor bonus room is a horrible configuration that will have a hard time finding buyers.

Actually, the front of the house also got pushed out beyond the garage. That's where the extra bedroom is coming from. You can look at the google street photos and the current photo of the front. Looks very nicely done.

Can you share your yelp page? Also, for being an "old family owned company", your digital footprint looks very recent.

Looks like they expanded the back of the property at a minimum. Would be interesting to see this property in person to see what they really did. It's pretty rare to see this vintage property get this level of renovation.

Wow, what are the odds of such a scenario if the sellers are actually 3 independent people?

Damn.. that's the 3rd or 4th ownership change?

The wait for this place is insane. Takes 10-15 mins to put an order in and then 45mins - 1 hour to receive your drink during peak times. They offer online ordering through their app, but charge a premium for doing so!
