My grandpa made some serious coin developing the valley of LA back in the day, so... some of that is useful. Here is a tip from my dad... don't buy a condo...

It is $65 a sqft. if you are a big builder that knows how to cut costs down to the bones. In the 909 you might see $65 a sqft. cost (not what you the end buyer pays) for a stucco box. In Irvine the cost (because of higher end materials and better architectural plans) you can expect $85-$100 a...

No first hand experience here, thank gawd, but from the legalese of Cali and recourse/non-recourse loans... The only way a lender can legally go after the difference in the loan amount and sale amount is if they went through the judicial foreclosure process vs. the trustee sale process. Now...

Ah... that thread. I was a bit early with it too. One good thing about IHB, my posts are still there even if the links to them (not IHB's fault but the stupid LA Times). It has this gem direct from the Chairman/woman, Babette. First Fed worries are unfounded Regarding "Official calls bank...

I was very fortunate that on my second trip to NYC that I got to crash on the couch of friend of a friend in Brooklyn. I would have never ventured to Brooklyn had I not been forced to stay there. However, Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill are two of the coolest districts in NYC. If I lived in...

It is not just the space, but the separation from the neighbors. The idea of catching a glimpse of you or IHO walking around the house in tighty whiteys... *burp* I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Is just down right scary!
