    2010 Irvine New Home Collection

    Looks like my input is needed in this thread. First, let me clarify this BS hype on the interest list of a 1000 people. (Insert twirly finger icon here.) I assume that is for the community as a whole, which means that every executive at every builder is on that list as well as several other...

    Wal-Mart to close Irvine club store

    Sadly, this will hurt my friends who have a business that rely on Sams Club to keep their costs down. Not only is this bad for jobs that will be lost here, but it will hurt businesses that relied on them to help keep the costs down for consumers. I'm surprised too, because every time I have been...

    New Construction Homes Sites near Irvine

    MBK builds crap. They are a commercial developer who thought they could get in on the residential piece of the pie. It hasn't worked out so well for them. Shapell can be good or can be good. BK did a few really great posts on them. And don't get me started on Lennar and Riverbend. The...

    2010 Irvine New Home Collection

    Seriously, TIC has been shrinking backyards since 93, and this is ridiculous. I can't believe people are getting excited to be packed in like sardines. Either I am crazy, or there are paid shills on here to pump this Kowloon like neighborhood. Forget about converting your California room, all 12...

    Principle reduction... or deferral?

    99 year loan is the same thing as an interest only loan. Do the math. Sorry, but any bank/investor is going to want their principal back at some point. That, and if the principal gets reduced by a borrower, then the bank can lend out more money to other people. This improves their capital...

    Viewing Short Sale properties?

    Funny, I was starting to wonder the same thing. Especially when I see regular sales from 07 and 08 getting foreclosed on a lot lately. Looks a lot like first payment defaults to me. That doesn't bode well for the future, for banks, not buyers. You can take the fraud away, but you can't take the...

    Shik Do Rak - Korean BBQ

    Very similar. For me, Soju is lighter in flavor and less oily (I know weird term, but Sake leaves an oily character on my tongue) compared to Sake. You should go to Zions and pick up some Kalbi, kim chi and Soju to have your own Korean BBQ night. Mmm... so good.

    Shik Do Rak - Korean BBQ

    It's Korean rice wine. Much like Sake. But... for some reason it will knock you on your a$$ if you are not careful.

    3-Car Garage Homes

    There is going to be an issue with the one on Humeston. It got foreclosed on this week, and someone "bought" it for $640k. Not much profit in there if you have a buyer at $685k. And I have been inside that house, and there might be another issue to worry about.

    Westpark House Battle

    I thought I would have some interesting news in 1 Santa Eugenia being foreclosed on, but kick the can down the road to next month. Judging by the NTS, someone will pick it up at the auction.

    So what comes after...

    Okay... that just sounds really, really wrong. Don't we have moderators around here to edit this kind of behavior? Oh... never mind.

    I knew there was a reason why I haven't been posting as much. DO NOT WANT!

    Remodeling and New Additions

    It would be a partial reassessment unless you tore it down completely. I have seen a chimney and a door frame still up and it would still be a partial reassessment.

    Sun Dried Tomato Cafe, SJC

    I have a small and a large wine rack that you can have if you want either of them.

    Long Beach (Live in the LBC)

    ^^^ Being behind a retail strip (gawd freakin awful noisy garbage trucks every dang day), and being priced at 2004 prices... Maybe it will go fast, but I think buyers are more picky about location these days. But I could be wrong. And... FWIW, that is the nicest house under a 1000 sqft. I have...

    So what did Ya'll get for Christmas?

    Damn you Petah! I would never drink that wanker beer... Becks... blech... If it were Newcastle... then it might be more real. Hell, even those bloody wankers in France make a better beer with Stella Artois... SSSSTTTTEEELLLAAAA! I know... beer here in the wanker states is not the same as back...

    So what did Ya'll get for Christmas?

    What?!!! A cleaned up version... and you didn't get a bike? Ahh... bloody hell... Dear, Santa... Petah is not as big of a wanker as I say he is, and he really does deserve a new bike... one that doesn't randomly break in half while doing 20MPH. Please, something more sturdy for this bloke next...

    Westpark House Battle

    I got one just for you too. Go down and around the way from you to 52 Giorgio. Knock on his door and tell him you be willing to buy his house for his mortgage balance. Seeing as how he is about $20k behind on it, he might be willing to take you up on it. I will see if I can find some more homes...

    Westpark House Battle

    Heh, I find it more interesting that he really needs to sell these homes. Maybe then he would be able to get current on his mortgage. Just sayin...
