    Lighting

    Let us know how this works out.  I got some of the Cree BR30 bulbs from Home Depot a while back.  They're pretty good, but at $70.00 for a 4 pack, it would cost a fortune to replace all of my can lights with them.  7.98/bulb is much more agreeable with my wallet.

    How often late closing happens with IP?

    I used an outside lender and closed 2 weeks late.  IP's contract says they reserve the right to charge you a late fee, if they see you are making a good faith effort to close, they usually won't charge you.  I kept IP informed of all the things that are preventing me from closing and they...

    Leasing a car

    I worked with Russ Ellis from Laguna Niguel, he offered me a good deal without fighting me on anything, and was open about all the numbers (MSRP, sales price, money factor, residual, etc.) he used instead of just giving me a monthly payment amount.  In the end, he couldn't get the dealer in San...
