    need advice please

    Which builder is this? I know many of the builders are offering 'buyer protection.' at the very least, if they can't drop the price, they will credit you the amount in their designer studio for upgrades. i know its not the same, but it's better than nothing if you want to try and negotiate...

    Tips for leasing an IAC apartment

    Great post. We've lived in an IAC property for over 2 years now. During that term, we've renewed our lease twice. When your lease comes up, they will present you with a few options (x months @ $/month). Don't be shy to walk over to the leasing office and inquire if they have y months...

    Just got my Wii Fit

    I haven't lost any weight. Some of the routines are still very challenging, and I'm improving in the strength categories. I agree that if you're looking for straight aerobics, then DDR might be better for you. Overall I will say that the Wii-fit does making out a little easier, but the gym...

    The Prado Models in Portola Springs are for Sale

    HAHA graphrix!! Thanks for the encouraging note. BTW next Friday after the shop closes, we're going to be experimenting in spiking the yogurt with some 'un-natural' goodness. We're going to start off with mixing some kahlua into the chocolate, and rum into the pina colada. I'll let you know...

    Aliso Viejo or Portola Springs

    Even though I dislike PS for it's proximity to the toll road, county landfill, and ghost-town feel - given enough time - I think PS might turn out OK. I saw a sign that said 'future retail for PS' so it seems those folks won't have to drive to Woodbury towne center all the time. Also if/when...

    Just got my Wii Fit

    I'm on day 21, and have lost only 1 lbs. I admit that I started out at 156 lbs and didn't have a lot of fat to lose. And primarily, I've been concentrating on the strength exercises. Overall, I am stronger and can actually do double the amount of pushups than before. And on a good day, I...

    Obama / McCain at Saddleback church

    Unfortunately I didn't win tickets from our church lottery, so I had to watch it on CNN. In any case, the forum really made it apparent (to me) who I'm going to vote for and would make a better president. Personally, I prefer a straight shooter who doesn't take forever to answer a...

    The Prado Models in Portola Springs are for Sale

    Just got back as well. There were about 6 other cars parked along the side of the street. I made it known to the seller agent that I learned about the listings from IHB when she asked. Then I told her that I'm a bear and think prices will drop even more ;) I can now confirm that they are...

    How much to put down if you have the money

    If you think you can match or beat the S&P;index, then you should put less than 20% down. Take that extra money and invest it in other areas. Actually the main key here is to diversify your money. If 20% down puts you into a situation where your house is your life-blood, then I wouldn't do it.

    Does anyone receive "refund 66% ~ 75% commission from redfin or BuySide"?

    I've used buyside to make a few offers. The process isn't too bad and I like how they post all the documents electronically. If you don't need a lot of hand-holding, and you know what you want, then Buyside is a good option.

    41 Stowe and 33 Triple Leaf in Woodbury

    I remember a few weeks ago we spoke with the selling agent for Stowe. She said that the bank wanted 1.28M for it. So I guess the bank (WAMU?) never got that price.
