You should be seeking your CPA for answers to these questions tbh

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but people in their 20s-30s are not the ones living in these 2.5m+ communities in Irvine. Unless your family is loaded with money which is possible, most of these buyers are FCB investment homes or people that are move up buyers that gained equity from their...

Ouch. The currency conversion is rough. I know a family that works in Macau and sends money to his family in Hawaii. MOP -> USD conversion is rough as well.

Surprised Hawaii is #24.

There are 750k new condos in Irvine? Maybe for low income, but it's an entire lengthy process within itself. There are also new constructions in other areas as well without MR and a reasonable HOA. As @irviniteeee mentioned, one needs to evaluate the entire cost of ownership and not only the...

or maybe a bunch of them are filling up IUSD spots that arent in Irvine ;)

Rich people doing what they do best. Pay as little taxes as possible. 🙂

I believe you only need one utility bill if I remember correctly under your name.

A lot of people do it and it’s more common than one thinks. None of them really get caught.

I think it's a given that you can get in trouble in any school district for doing it, not only Irvine. But whether or not it's enforced and to what degree is a different discussion. At this rate, we have a population decline and they will soon be asking for kids to come at some point. And...

yea but why would you pay additional taxes for a "decent" public school? i seriously don't understand why people would pay such a premium for a public school. Sure, portola high is new and the facilities might be the state of the art compared to other schools but how much of a benefit does that...

It gives me the motor court feels once you get out of the driveway

Isn’t there going to be a flat rate for electricity which means adding solar is not really going to help lower your bill as much?

TBH let's have all the FCB's buy up the Irvine tract homes. Let the locals buy the better homes.

They already made most of their money by selling the land to the other builders. The commissions that IP receives per sale of home is probably not as lucrative compared to selling the land. Raising the price by 100k vs 50k for example isn't really going to make or break the bank for IP. Quite...

That's generally poor parenting. Kids wouldn't normally be that way unless it's pressure from their parents. Don't get me wrong, education is important. But to say a kid needs to go to the BEST Elem/Middle/High school and University is definitely overkill. What I don't want is my kid to know...

I’ve been very clear about my personal thoughts of schooling. There isn’t that many ways to teach 1+1 or calculating a derivative. I’d rather focus my efforts on having my kid be gritty than have 4.0 GPA but will be useless when they are in the real world solving real problems

oh my god, I don't know about you but my brunch experience was horrible at DFC. I have never had something that was not edible in my life. The macaroni & ham soup smelled like @$$. My friends dish was also all dried up. Only thing good about it was the HK milk tea that was included as part of...

If school district is a problem, the amount you save buying in LF will easily help fund your kid for private school. Why pay a premium for a public school?

It's crazy even attached condos (both walls attached) are going for ~1.1m in LF.... Insane. way too expensive if you ask me and not worth the price. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Lake-Forest/241-Carmona-92630/home/188593677 https://www.redfin.com/CA/Lake-Forest/15-Jasmine-92630/home/169488184
