    Asking experts: is Irvine a good place for an investment property?

    Not going to comment on whether or not Irvine is a good location for an investment property, but I have a recommendation for the type of property you're looking for. Check out Cypress Village East - Trellis Court - Residence 2.  It has everything you're looking for and in your budget...

    NEW DJI Mavic Drone

    I'm on the fence with this vs the GoPro Karma.  The obvious cons of the Gopro Karma are the software limitations (not nearly as user-friendly as DJI drones) and it being not as portable. However, I'm a HUGE fan of modular systems, one that GoPro IMHO has nailed with the...

    Which credit card do you use the most?

    Don't cancel it, I would do a Product Change (PC) request to keep your AAoA intact and get quarterly bonuses.  I plan to do just that even though I already have a Freedom card (which they will let you do) so you can double dip on the quarterly bonuses.  I applied for Global Entry (GE), but...

    Legado vs trellis court

    I was in a similar situation as you, but we ended up buying at Trellis Court (Phase 1).  Key differences are that we have no kids (yet). Here are some of the reasons why we chose TC over many similar detached SFR communities: -Location. Location. Location.  Central to both my wife's and my...

    Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

    I'm aware of that plume, but SoClosetoIrvine's post is referring an "Edison plume coming".  Wasn't sure if that was reference to 2 different things or a new one.

    Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

    Can you expand on the Edison plume for CV East? Are you talking about the substation on ridge valley and trabuco?

    Frame Walk

    +1 to this.  Also, if you have a 2nd person going with you, I would also recommend taking video of the entire house as well.  It will add context to the pictures you take.  We filmed each room by room as a separate video to make it easier to organize later down the line.  One thing I regret...

    Which credit card do you use the most?

    The $300 travel credit is good every calendar year.  Technically you are getting 2x $300 travel credits within the first year of card ownership, netting you $150 to own the card first year + 100k points. Also, most annual fee cash back cards do not have travel partner transfer options, but UR...

    Which credit card do you use the most?

    One of my favorite redemption methods was transferring to British Avios and redeeming on AA flights (which you could search for on AA and searching for SAAVER tickets).  Much better redemption rates for domestic flights.  However, I've had a hard time finding tickets as AA is getting stingier by...

    Which credit card do you use the most?

    Yeah, a lot of good information on flyertalk, r/churning, and thepointsguy.com Not planning on staggering.  Let's put it this way;  We'll easily hit 8k spend after COE. Planning on doing flooring outside, appliances, and furniture.  I'd open 2 each if i could  ;D

    Which credit card do you use the most?

    Wife and I are dying to open one each as soon as we COE. This card is an absolute no brainer for even someone who travels once or twice a year.  The $300 credit is applied very liberally, so effective annual fee is $150.  100k points is an absolute spectacular bonus, and the 1.5 cents per point...

    Trellis Court at Cypress Village East

    Last Saturday was Phase 2 release.  I recall there were 11 homes in this phase, with most of them selling that day.  Base price also slightly increased as well depending on model # (5-10k increase).

    Bathroom floors - builder or contractor?

    Sorry to bump from the grave, but is this standard policy for all builders?  Did you have to go through the builder first to get the plumber to come out and reset the plumbing, or did you go directly to the plumber?  Thanks in advance.

    New Car

    It's a photoshop of the Gen 1 Tesla Model S.  I agree that they should either revive their original Roadster lineup, or maybe create a new coupe on the upcoming Model 3 platform.  Maybe that was Elon's plan all along, get a mass market EV out to the public and start making more compelling and...

    Obsidian by Lennar at Parasol Park

    Nice! Same thing at Playa Vista as well.  Looks like there's a kitchenette option for the Plan 3 3rd story as well now; I thought that would be a good idea  ;)

    Trellis Court at Cypress Village East

    The garage was always going to be my sanctuary, so I've already taken measurements and planned out the cabinets and flooring to order.  Having 2 small cars is going to make our garage seem enormous  ;D.  I've also noticed our garage has a decent-sized nook under the stairwell, which I think...

    The attached community Lantana Court is $345, which is right next door to TC

    Obsidian by Lennar at Parasol Park

    no worries.  I think that for a detached property, HOA seems quite a bit high though @ $3,024 annually.
