For less than $1k you can rent a place for the weekend near the beach. Instead of being fixed to HB, take your family to different beaches cities during the Summer. Go explore California beach towns/cities like Oxnard, Santa Barbara, etc. Go see a Polo tournament in Carpinteria. Wine tasting...

Due to housing shortage, many cities have relaxed building and parking requirements. In my area, I believe you're allowed to have a "tiny home" up to 400 sq ft, it's treated as a park model or RV. To go above that you'd need an ADU permit. If all you need is a small home office, it's possible...

It's easier to find single story homes w/yard in Turtle rock. While this might not be a concern today, in 30 years you might have mobility issues.

Hypothetically, if I had sold my Irvine condo 20 years ago and put $200k profit into S&P 500 index fund, using 9.88% annual returns (dividends reinvested) it will yield $1.3 million which is much more than what the condo is worth today. But if the condo were to yield $1,000/month in positive...

SLO was always more of a college town experience for me, because I used to visit friends attending Cal Poly there and only hanged out with college kids. It's a nice place, but like many Central California locations, healthcare accessibility is an issue with long waits. If you lived in Santa...

Yes and no. The well-off may employ private nurses and contract concierge doctors for routine care, but still need to go to a hospital for major or specialist treatments. The issue with living in small towns like Cambria is that the local clinic might resemble a prefab building with limited...

If I were to promote Irvine homes to target demographic group, I’d target high net worth retiree’s. I’d go to Cambria, St Helena, Calistoga, etc. and say, hey guys, as you get older it’d be difficult dealing with driving far distance for medical care. Come to Irvine, we have many convenient...

Hybrid cars have better gas mileage but is often offset by smaller gas tank. On the Toyota Camry, 16.8 ICE vs 13.2 hybrid gallon tank.

California has many smaller & charming towns like Cayucos, Atascadero, Camel, Cambria, St Helena, etc. It's a shame that so many people living in big cities never venture out to explore them. I've known people who live in Irvine and never visited Laguna Beach (!). However, access to...

As far as I know there is no 99 year lease or 99 year loan program. In Mexico residential land lease is 10 years and fideicomisos (Trusts) are 50 years, both are renewable subject to government policy.

$20 for cheeseburger with shoestring fries on the side. Decent burger. But they tried to upsell me with $40 lunch special. >_> Was there for lunch yesterday and the place was pretty empty.

“Minutes to Orange County”??

^^^ this is actually a very good price. You pay just $10/month each for the portfolio model that you use, and still track models that you’re interested in via sandbox. Currently eyeing “fidelity simple sectors”.

I think for 529 to Roth IRA rollover, we are looking at 40-45 year horizon for the IRA account. $35,000 invested in S&P 500 index with 10% annual returns for 45 years will yield $2,551,167 I spoke with my cousin about setting up custodian Roth IRA, he says they won’t bother and will just...
