I'd love to see voting statistics on the 2% that pay 50% of the state income taxes

The old OCR columnist Lansner has a column in the SJ Merc News every Sunday and he recently concluded his analysis of the best states to target if leaving CA: NH and MN. I have ties to both and I love winter sports. NH is more expensive but no income or sales tax and nice beaches. MN is a great...

It was for CalBruin. what questions? And no, you haven't enumerated Trump's dictatorial acts. I look forward to it!

First, thanks for being willing to debate. You are the undisupted most knowledgeable person here on Irvine RE. Your inventory call was one for the ages. You really need to re-exanine your understanding of how the Powell Fed operates as it's very differnt from the Yellen or Bernanke Fed - miles...

At least I'm not posting on a message board at 1:15am. But ok smart guy, seeing as how you suck at debate please enumerate Trump's dicatorial acts. Meanwhile let's examine Biden's record - Multiple investigations of Elon Musk by various federal agencies after also not inviting him to the EV...

seriously? You nust listen to guys like Kiyosaki or crypto podcasts. Try listening to something a little more informed like the All In podcast. avg int rate on the debt is still under 3%. Medicare and SS will get means testing implemented and retirement age raised, likely by Trump as a lame duck...

You guys really aren't that ignorant, are you?

Dude - why are banks going to magically compress spreads that are already 250bps over the 10 yr right now for the best borrowers? 4% rates were before SVB went belly up over duration risk from low interest jumbo mortgages. I know a CRE license carries no fiduciary reqs but you're doing your...

You mean one can live in Artesia or Norwalk and send your kid to Whitney? What a edu-hack!

what many here fail to comprehend is Powell is ok with money going into the market as that doesn't impact inflation but rising housing prices do. Expect spreads to stay where they're at or even widen as the dot plot starts to play out. I don't see rates going below 5.5% ayt t he very lowest ever...

for sure, but the political damage is already fait accompli - as is unfortunately the human toll of bad judgement including a Biden grandchild born from a prositution encounter and funded by Biden corruption

Biden and his handlers are stupid and arrogant - he could have issued a mea culpa for Hunter over the laptop during the debate and chastised him publicly for trading on the Biden name to generate an income and it literaly would have gone away. Now he's going to be impeached FOREVER (quoting...

impressive sgip - some of this I had not learned

My Newport-based RIA had his client dinner for SV clients up here this week and when talking about Chinese money in OC RE he provided an example of a friend in Newport Coast who had no desire to sell the home he had just finished building, all in for ~$15M excluding the lot which he bought in...

The incentives were helpful but people buy EVs because they want them. My first M3 base was mid 30s after the fed and state incentives. The 26% tax credit for solar and powerwall was much more of a factor in making that purchase especially given I paid zero out of pocket.

In tech we typically use deferred comp programs to mitigate taxable income. The Fidelity plan at my longtime emplyer was great but the Merrill plan at a subsequent employer had garbage choices. Some companies restrict these to Director and up.

Does anyone listen to the All In podcast? The latest episode features Tucker, who brought up the 1920s Soviet expedition to map Siberia and encountering flash frozen wooly mammoths that were so well preserved they ate the meat. No current climate science has ever addressed the massive climate...

USC baseball will be playing there for the next 2 years while Dedeaux Field is rebuilt - finally a benefit for those GP taxes.

You mean by cajoling social media platforms to censor speech and using the DOJ to prosecute his opposition? Where and how has Trumo acted like a dictator?

Obama's Guns and Religion grenade lit the identifty politics dumpster fire. It'll take generations to put that genie back in the lamp. That guy...
