    Mortgage Forbearance

    This particular home in LA is rather a decent looking home on a decent looking street. Google street view does much more justice than the redfin pic. Asking price will be more or less comparable to Irvine home of the same sieze, may be smaller lot. If schools are no concern to you but shorter...

    coronavirus

    When you go on a webpage and 70% of real estate is occupied by ads, very small area is allocated to content...makes me want to not visit the site eve again.

    Looking for advice to find a good realtor

    Apparently this thread became about USC - so I will chime in. But first, to answer OPs question. What to look for in a good realtor? Well, first question is what I want from a realtor? Market knowledge, someone who sings my praise at each opportunity, max rebate, a kickass negotiator...

    Stock picks

    Not necessary. When industrialists sucked lifeblood out of workers, unions came along and weakened the power of the elite. Sure it was painful transition for some or most but in the end they were better off. I see this WSB as a revolt of masses against wall street elites. Will some 'retards' as...

    Stock picks

    I have a feeling that those billionaires will have a team of sophisticated traders and they will just take the cream off the top and retail traders will be holding the bag when the dust settles.

    Observations from the front lines of the Irvine housing market?

    Just how hot the market is... I saw a site being developed and frames for model homes going up in San Diego. When I called the builder to ask when are they releasing phase 1, they said phase 1 was released last month and it is sold out. They are selling $1.5m homes virtually, and show the dirt...

    The Elephant in the room

    Maybe that was the plan all along. When he was the boss, GOP members and businesses did not want to stand up to him and run the risk of his vicious vengeance. Now that he is going to be just another citizen, with a lot of people despising him, it is fashionable to gather up the courage and...

    Experiences with Zillow Offers / Redfin Now / Opendoor?

    I remember them offering 10 or 15% below market value of the home at the time. They automatically account for 5-7% of home value that they anticipate spending in repairs. If the home does not require lot of repairs, zillow offer will be a bad deal.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Likely. If a median home price in Irvine is $912k (zillow), which is a believable number, then the average household income should be a third or 1/4th of it. Not 1/9th. In aggregate data, outliers woun't affect it much such as a family of school-teacher living in a turtle rock home for 30...

    RV Financing- where/what are the best rates?

    This thread moved away from best financing...but anyways...let's go down that path a step further. If one bought a used class C RV for $40-45k, here is what I estimate the cost of ownership to be: Interest   $200 Depreciation $400 Storage $180 repairs $333 Insurance $100 TOAL/Month...

    Dow?

    oh, I know. It's terrible. Just looking at my credit card statements over last 9 months. Winners are Amazon, Costco, and Instacart. Losers are barber, my fav neighborhood restaurant, that boba place, ice cream place, breakfast place etc where we used to hang out with our kids. It is sad..

    RV Financing- where/what are the best rates?

    Much like many in these times, thinking of picking up an RV before kids grow up and fly out of the nest. What are the best rates you have come across for RV? I am not able to beat the Alliant CU that I found on my own: APR Term 4.24% 120 months 4.49% 144 months 4.74% 180 months 5.24% 240 months

    Dow?

    I know y'all suffering because of covid-19, I am gonna give y'all $2T. Peter, you go and spend every single penny of that $600, your share, and make sure that Paul, who is already rich and not getting $600 from me indirectly gets almost all of the $600 that you are going to spend. And then some...

Within minutes got approval and was passed on to the funding specialist. Sent in all the docs and loan is approved for funding. Then...

    Only if the world was made aware of this med back in March. We'd have saved millions of lives. And sucks for the mfr. of this medicine to not become an instantaneous trillion-dollar company.
