Everybody on this board will be in agreement - go with USCtrojancpa. Just read his countless posts and sales success and you?ll quickly see why.

Being a former owner in the San Simeon tract in Northpark (same builder and design) I?m very familiar with this one. One of the cleanest examples I?ve seen, but that?s expected! West Irvine actually an affordable community. Have any plan 4s sold recently? I always thought the downstairs bedroom...

Some pricing info from today's grand opening - over $300K premium for view lots at Highland.

Well it looks my mold problem wasn?t mold after all. Inspector checked the attic and found rat droppings and a smell that could?ve been a decomposing rat. So again does anyone know of a good company to do an inspection for that? Thanks in advance.

My fellow TIers, I need your help. I need to find a mold inspector to determine whether I have hidden mold. Anyone have experience with a qualified inspector and a reasonable cost for an inspection. I?m always leery of inspectors because they need to find something wrong (even if it?s not really...

Not sure this truly qualifies as a WTF asking price - however is certainly qualifies a WFT was the buyer overpaying so much for a model home. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/79-Bountiful-92602/home/112718659 Strada Model 3 model home. Buyer paid $1.618m two years ago when the base price was...

Let's check in with Vivo activity over the past year. They have sold 59 out of 75 lots. In the past year they released 50 home sites and sold 44. Considering how much standing inventory they have, got to believe most of this activity tool place during the first six months on 2018. Resident 3...

Let's see how things have change for Como and Terra since June 12, 2018 - still seven months ago. Como has sold 49 out of 65 home sites. Since June they have released 30 home sites and sold 19 but 14 of these were view lots and only 5 were non-view lots including 4 that were listed in June and...

Let's see how things have change for Verdi and Lago since June, 12, 2018 - that's seven months. Lago has now sold 38 out of 52 home sites. They have released 16 home sites but only sold 10 - 4 homes that were listed on the June 2018 price sheet are still there. Prices haven't changed except the...

Swung buy the original 5 models today and have updated broker co-ops...things are definitely slowing down thereby doubling the co-op amounts. Vivo - $33,000 Verdi - $37,000 Lago - $38,000 Como - $45,000 Terra - $50,000 If you want to buy, time to PM USCTrojan and get busy. All have plenty of...

We came oooh so close to buying a Caserta Plan 2 back in the days, so obviously I like it! By the time we were up on the priority list, the locations were too close to the 5 Freeway for our comfort zone. There were some excellent locations in the tract however so I'll be interested in where the...

IP sold two Verdi homes at a discount: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/137-Donati-92602/unit-54/home/146163450 Took 5 months to sell with a $40K haircut https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/206-Villa-Rdg-92602/unit-50/home/144680014 Took 8 months to sell with a $60K haircut First...

Not a bad turnout at today's grand opening. Floor plans kind of choppy, smallish secondary bedrooms, and really doesn't scream luxury but then again it's Irvine Pacific so has a very familiar appearance. Sloping vaulted ceilings look OK but don't really maximize spacious feeling inside. Lot...

Anyone else get this? Sounds like an opportunity for lawyers to contact everyone in the IP Orchard Hills area to see if they get enough responses to file a class action lawsuit. Is this one of those cases where Irvine Pacific will pay $10 million to settle, the lawyers take $9.5 million and I...

I know it's tricky that's why I'm scared to offer an opinion! Sounds like if they continue to claim it as rental property, they had better use market value rent on Schedule E (even if they don't actually collect that much). You seem to indicate that by not calling it rental property, i.e. second...

Been doing some research on this and am still confused - so figured the TI forum experts would be the most reliable source! The scenario - couple buys a home in 2000, lives in it to 2011 then buys another home and rents out the first one. Now the couple's kid is going to get married and needs a...

No AMT, don't work in finance and not a medical doctor. I think I just will not list state income taxes on Schedule A as they will not be needed to reach $10K. Just hoping that TurboTax will allow me to - you know the program automatically fills in stuff from other forms so once I enter the W-2...

I voted "other" because I have no clue and have the cajones to admit it. These types of surveys are notoriously useless as are most predictions. Remember when Elaine Garzarelli predicted the 1987 stock market crash and was on everybody's got to interview list? Well since then her predicting the...

Well I just received my property tax bill today :-[ Remember the good old days when we could deduct all of our SALT but now it's limited to $10K. Here's the question I'm pondering...we used to deduct the state income taxes (plus all the other taxes) paid in one year but in the following year we...

COOL. Setting the standard again!
