    Yes, the route ends next month. I was planning on taking it for Spring Break, but now looking at WN out of LGB.

    What is reasonable here?

    I would say $4100 is reasonable. The headlines that rent is going down doesn't mean much since you locked in your rate 2 years ago. Between 2 years ago and now, the rent has gone up substantially. So 5-8% off the peak is still much higher than your current rate.

    Yup, I wish we had more destinations from SNA. We just lost the SNA-HNL route.

    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    You can still do a custom order and receive between Jan-March. Can't believe the deal. 3 friends just purchased it. ID4 order and 2x Mach-e reservations canceled!

    Irvine (and vicinity) Dining Deals / Coupons

    Wow, this is a really good deal now.. basically an inflation buster type deal. Prices have increased more than the $1/plate increase in the program.

    Global Recession?

    This goes to show you that timing the market is near impossible. Luckily I went through this phase early on in life and have done the DCA "set it and forget it" investing method over the last decade+.

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2022

    That would be my guess. It was in really bad shape before. Looks like the buyer did the bare minimum to make it not look like it's been abandoned for years and then flip it.

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2022

    I've driven by this house and it probably has a lot of deferred maintenance. It looked abandoned for awhile. I remember saying to my wife that this is an example of why you need to live in a community with a HOA.

    Fall 2022 Commission trends?

    In times of extremely low inventory, I would say it's a waste of .5%. How can an agent steer a client to another property that doesn't exist.

    Fall 2022 Commission trends?

    Selling agents have been dropping to 1.5% to get more business as inventory has dropped. 2% selling agents will often include staging as well. There are also 1% selling agents out there who say they offer the same services like a standard 2% agent.

    Tesla Solar Rental - No removal cost in Sept

    Leased or rented? Completely different situation. There is no UCC-1 attached to the property with a rented situation.

    Tesla Solar Rental - No removal cost in Sept

    Working out better than expected.. the deal never made sense for Tesla (huge upfront cost) and they discontinued it as a result. I'm glad I got in. Now the kW generated is worth even more due to the increases over the years. My monthly is still $65 from Tesla.

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    Still think 4-5% is possible?  We will be lucky to be in the low 7s.

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    Inflation is currently at 8.5%.  No way it gets to 4-5% by the end of the year.  The major components that drive the inflation number do not change that quickly.  The components that do (ie. gas) only make up a small part of the overall calculation (which everyone seems to focus on since they...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    Different banks/lenders all sell different products at different price points.  It's pointless to compare a CU that might specialize in conforming loans with a large national bank that specializes with a jumbo product.
