    Delano at Eastwood

    Yes, massive jump last few phases Compared to the resale market nearby, it's massive overpay, but people are still willing to pay that premium for brand new

    Delano at Eastwood

    When I was looking early May 2016, these were the prices plan 1 - $666,447 plan 2 - $682,352-$717,377 plan 3 - $698,594-$728,345 The differences in the prices were some pre-included upgrades, like what yoyo2012 said, causing the differences in price.  Only 1 of the homes in each release was...

    Planning our next vacation

    Like everyone has said, everyone has their own cup of tea of what they want a vacation to be.  Some may want the natural beauty and love Maui and feel sipping those mai tais on the beach is bliss, but others may feel it's "boring" as it's not as commercialized as Honolulu esp wakiki.  I'm more...

    Stock picks

    Not the best advice I'll admit but go through the choices for "reason for return" .. there are 2 of those that don't require return shipping.  Obviously don't do it for every purchase but 1 in 6 months for an avid amazon prime shopper should cleanse any bad karma

    Delano at Eastwood

    I'll check it out this weekend.  I think that plan 3 looks like it'll be popular.  Smart of them to make it a 4 bedroom with a bedroom and bath on the 1st floor...Asians will like that for sure.  For $800k it would seem to be a better purchase than Helena at $770k+

    Rental Market in Irvine

    This is great info.  So if you sign a month to month lease with a tenant and you are pass the 1 year rule (say the lease was over a few months ago), you still need 60 day notice to tenant everytime?  Does it go both ways that tenant needs to give you 60 day notice to move out too? Do you have...

    Rental Market in Irvine

    Yes, from my experience.  Once you are in a 1 year lease or longer, it is a major hassle in California.  Typically, you are expected to fulfill your end of the lease unless you can prove some kind of negligence.  Also giving notice, since my original lease was a year or more, I was required to...

    Rental Market in Irvine

    Like I posted before, always have an experienced agent help you with finding a tenant.  They know the in's and out's of these contracts and let's be honest...the contract can make or break you.  My first cypress village investment, I had a family friend who had a full time job in the tech world...

    Halves in Foothill Ranch

    Quick update: tried Halves yesterday and I'm a fan! Instead of $5 off $25, I got a 20% off in the mail for Mon-Thurs so it was like fate to try it since I read it here already.  Ordered the halves (half hot pot and half grill) got American wagyu for shabu and got pork toro for the grill.  Meat...

    flooring suggestion

    I'd do laminate wood.  I went with an Chinese guy for mine and it was like $1.50 or something a sq ft...Adds value later on if you decide to sell.  Carpet doesn't add the best resale value unless it's like high quality

    Where do most you non-FCBs go grocery shopping?

    This is going to sound depressing but I don't get very full.  Just enough to last the day LOL.  4 lbs is equal to maybe like 5-6 large pieces of thigh.  What I do is cut it up into small pieces.  Then put it all into a fly pan with some olive oil and cover it.  Then take it out.  I also buy some...

    SFH for 605K [Rentability Options in Brea]?

    I'm not a big fan of Brea.  I know which area you are talking about too The biggest issues is the traffic and the congestion on the 57.  You have Cal state Fullerton right there, you have angels stadium on the way up and the traffic on the 91/57/60 going both ways.  It would be a bad commute...

    2017 BMW X3 - good deal?

    +1... Courtesy cars are really hit and miss.  You might get a car that lasts 10 years or those that break down often.  Courtesy cars are usually those service vehicle cars or employees and they usually get abused.  I would be lying if I didn't try to redline it a few times at stop lights  :P

    2017 BMW X3 - good deal?

    Absolutely.  They do everything.  All brands Gave my coworkers really good deals on a cx5 and also the GLE suv They get their cut within the deal so you don't need to pay out of pocket.  They even deliver the car to your house if you want that service.  From my experience, I'm a "car guy" so I...

    Back out from purchase agreement

    +1 on eyephone.  If you do live in it, make sure 2 years or else you pay all gains Also, did you try my advice earlier in the thread?  Trying to unqualify yourself financially?  And force the lender (most likely wells) to write a letter to the sales team that you no longer qualify for the...
