    Examples of significant savings?

    Probably cos condos have a lower starting price than SFRs and are available to a greater pool of buyers/ investors? Sub 800k market being more competitive

    Can you report them to Airbnb? Im guessing their Terms state that the listings have to be in accordance with local laws, etc

    401K Cash Out

    Hi, we had withdrawn from our IRA when we purchased our home. We were able to pay the amount back into the IRA within the 60 day rollover. so there will be no back taxes or penalties to be paid for the 2018 tax return. The 60 day rollover rule is: if you withdraw money from your IRA or 401k ...

    Irvine Homes and Real Estate

    sounds more like a case of misplaced decimals. similarly, for 41 Sorenson that apparently went for 77k from the above list and is now back as a short sale for just under 1 mil. Also is an SFR, not a condo. Faulty MLS data?https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/41-Sorenson-92602/home/5814584

    What price range are you shopping for in Irvine?

    Anyone know what the proportion of investment property buyers/sellers is in Irvine and nearby areas? Assuming they present stiff competition for first time buyers in the lower price ranges.

    Attached SFR Homes

    A townhome is more about having no neighbors living above/below. It could be a condo or a PUD. Am a townhome dweller that has a condo style ownership. HOA takes care of the exteriors.

    USPS mailing options

    Hmmm, just the pricing? pg-30-31 of https://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/dmm300/Notice123.pdf It seems to say that the signature confirmation can be added to any kind of mail while the return receipt needs another qualifying extra service purchase like certified/insured mail ?

    USPS mailing options

    Whenever I've needed to add (online) tracking, have mostly ended up using the 'priority mail' option and sometimes, the 'first-class' or 'certified' mail. Used the 'certified option with return receipt' only when I needed to know that someone at an office had indeed picked up my mail and as IHO...

    which DMV to go for early walk in?

    Looks like a W2/paystub with full SSN will do too. The checklist is at https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/2db22455-e270-47a3-819c-d7c7716d5194/List_of_Docs_REALID.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=

    which DMV to go for early walk in?

    Hmm, 8 hr wait! ouch. I went there twice in the past year, both times were walk-in on Saturday afternoons, and was out in less than 2 hours. Was 'lucky', I guess.
