    Basketball Shoes

    I'm actually quite glad it was later verified at a lower amount and that people have some decent sense  ;D That 2 million figure was everywhere on espn with Marcellus Wiley etc. whose source was probably lavar ball himself lol so my credibility has no affect.  On a unrelated note, if Lavar...

    Laugh all you want, but those "hype beasts" have gobbled it up 4000 preorders and counting.  $2 million in sales confirmed already  :o Lots of idiots out there for sure, like those who line up for kanye west clothes

    Parasol Park vs Baker Ranch

    I'm obviously biased lol but I pick baker ranch for saving $5k a year for MR since you don't need irvine zip code. We have lots of amenities here compared to most new irvine builds (club house/jr Olympic pools/parks) like Eastwood/stonegate but less than some products like parasol or great park...

    Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

    Yep.. my regret was also not buying knolls on release. Mine was an early resale knolls plan 3. Thinking back, I didn't even hear anything about baker ranch back in 2014 until I randomly passed by looking for the nearest souplantation. If only I joined TI sooner lol Some recent knolls sales...

    Amethyst (PP) vs Tristania/Lantana (CVE)

    Needless to say, you already know the financial differences between the properties so I won't add anymore.  Main question is... what's your family situation like?  How many adults? How many kids?  Growing family?  I'm sure you know 1800 sq ft feels a lot different than 1440 sq ft.  I've had...

    New vs Resale Prices

    Agreed.  A 4 bedroom in Irvine at Eastwood location should theoretically get around $3800+ in rental income I would think it should be a good investment.  As a comparison, many communities (Helena/Caserta/Petaluma etc) never included a 4th bedroom for whatever idiotic reason.  On the market in...

    Good Local Bank

    I would stay away from Wells Fargo for basic banking due to recent scandals I love Chase credit cards but would stay away from their regular banking as they LOVE cold calling late at night My personal banking is at US bank which feels like a credit union in ways I put my non investment...

    Petaluma or Marin ?

    It looks about right to me, though insurance probably won't be $20 more a month, probably closer to $5-10 more/month

    Rancho Mission Viejo/ Yorba Linda/Rancho Cucamonga?

    Agree with others, don't buy a house until you find a solid job first so you know the commute.  Other question: what profession are you in? Is it something that can be found easily or is it going to take a few months to find something?  You mentioned some very different areas of potential home...

    Recommendations and Review feedback on Van Daele builders (Santa Clarita, CA)

    We have just become TalkLA folks.  Santa Clarita is the new Lake Forest  ;D In response to your question, seems like you got preapproved.  I assume you know your rate.  What's the lock on the rate term? 90 day I assume since house won't be ready for 2 months?  Next step, wait for the home to be...

    HOA & Washing your car on your driveway

    #ToyotaLivesMatter Awesome! Yes make sure they have soft water is the biggest thing.  Another thing to see is if he does hand buff or uses an buffing machine/polisher.  Usually machine is needed to get rid of any minor scratches/swirls.  Check in sunlight after he finishes to see if the...

    HOA & Washing your car on your driveway

    I know you're being sarcastic, but it's not about the money. It's a hobby and passion Same as people who take care of their own gardens etc For me specifically, I'm a little OCD when it comes down to paint care and I won't take it to any of those $20 washes.  You are guaranteed swirls from bad...

    HOA & Washing your car on your driveway

    If you guys haven't tried it yet, Optimum No Rinse is heaven's gift to car washing.  Only need a bucket of water so neighbors can't really say anything.  either 2 bucket method or just buy a dozen microfibers and throw it in the ONR.  I use a electric blow dryer for faster drying and have a...
