Keep in mind, that aside from getting internships, no one gives a shit about your degree in tech. I work at one of the top tech companies known for its pay, perks and outrageous interview process, and know people here from MIT and Stanford and also people without degrees and I can’t tell them...

This is a good example of why young people should have roommates. Would you rather live in a cramped one bedroom for $2500 a month or have “half” of a four bedroom with a patio, driveway etc. no brainer here if you can find anyone reasonable.

In a low interest rate environment yeah, housing returns are pretty close to guaranteed.

Let me know what broker can get you 5x leverage with no recourse

Because you can get better returns? A lot of investors are break even with rents and just use their leverage as an appreciation play. If you see RE staying flattish for 5 years but think TSLA is going to the moon, you sell.

My handle is a bit out dated. Also, I’ve been coding for cash since high school. So I remember the dotcom crash. Twitter is on a hiring spree btw. Think they just want to employ people for fun? Are you a PM btw?

Not true in the big tech companies. Also my RSUs have been flat at my company. You seem to be cherry picking a lot of your points.

New to the area? I’ve really enjoyed being close to the town center and Bodhi coffee is my favorite in all of OC!

I always wondered about people asking an insane amount in rent that they have no hope of getting. Is that some accounting trick where they can write off the loss, or inflate the value of their assets at the cost of cash flow?

Aah, ok then that is way less egregious in terms of price comparison. I just saw the website’s landing page where it had prices but it didn’t specify view lot. still the interiors look poor compared to so many other builders in that price range. I think having ~3500sq ft and not having a den...

The plan 2 ra why does ravello look like a big condo when I walk through it though? It really feels “cheap” compared to Evergreen or my favorite, Cetara. Like it says plan 2 starts at 4m plus. Is that the model cause otherwise that’s a joke.

I’m not saying one should *buy* Evergreen over someplace in Irvine, i’m just saying it’s sad how crappy the model 3 ravello feels compared to evergreen’s models. It’s just depressing, especially given the delta in price.

I get the appeal of Irvine, but if I was buying plan 3 of Ravello for what, 3M and someone took me to the Evergreen models in The Meadows i’d cry. For substantially less you get *such* a nicer house, at least from how the models feel. Very similar floorplan but the much more expensive one...

I can’t imagine living in a house with a formal living room and dining room in anything smaller than 3500 sq ft. You certainly will have a cramped kitchen, and then it’s weird because the people cooking or prepping are separated out, and likely the dining room is a bit cramped. It’s also...

Yeah we knew this was going to happen regardless of national trends. Remote work meant more people were going to… SVtoOC.

they do use white meat but I didn't find it too dry especially with the sauces. If I was just eating it crispy fried it might not be as good as chicken thighs though.

I think BB.Q Chicken in Northpark is really great. Their lunch portion is very generous and I love their sauces. My only note is everything is tamed down spiceyness. If you order something with a litlte spice you taste nothing. If you order something spicy it's mild spicy. But, still really...

The Ralph's in Foothill Ranch is pretty bad. I guess it's fine for getting some veggies and lunchmeat but their meat selection is awful, no good cheese, often sold out of random things etc. I prefer to go further down Lake Forest to the other...Ralphs. Really, the fact that Costco is so...

Since BR was developed, you have had Iron Ridge, The Oaks, Serrano Summit, Terassina, The Meadows, etc. Foothill Ranch has had quite a lot of change.

Yeah I speak for the all the non nutjobs here. It sounds like you are saying you are trying to time the market by having sold and are renting now?
