<blockquote></blockquote>WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Obama administration on Wednesday will propose the establishment of the Federal Reserve as a consolidated supervisor of large systemically significant financial institutions that will require higher capital standards and more scrutiny of...

They (Irvine Fine Arts Center) also offer a drop in clay class that is really fun- I think it costs $15 and includes the clay, firing, and glazes. You can come back multiple times to complete your project and they don't charge you. It is WAY cheaper than Color Me Mine and is great for the...

You should also check out the Irvine Fine Arts Center - They have many different programs and the prices are really reasonable.

I'm curious if any contingent offers are being accepted? Are sellers taking offers that include the buyer having to sell their existing home?

We just went through a kitchen remodel last year. Cabinets will run the most. We did an exhaustive amount of research and ended up with IKEA cabinets. The hardware is BLUM and all drawers are full extension and self closing. (Most other companies charge up to $60 per drawer for full...

I would add one more benefit of using a great buyer agent (like IR2)-- they may bring a property to your attention that you had over looked. It is easy to fall in love with a house or area and completely ignore another house that really, truly fits your criteria much better. A great agent...

I thought that if you were zoned for one of the year round schools (Vista Verde, Playa Vista, etc)- you had a "second" school choice for the traditional school calendar. I think Turtle Ridge is zoned to Turtle Rock as a second option..... but I'm not sure.

It's pretty difficult to beat Woodbridge as far as the number of parks, pools, etc. for the HOA fee of approx. $75 a month and no Mello Roos.

The grace and professionalism he has shown with the whole IHB broker thing really impressed me. I had been meaning to send him a PM but seeing this thread I thought I would do it here. You are a class act IR2. And I look forward to working with you at some point in the future.

I too am in need of a new wall in the backyard (though much shorter- think a planter wall you can sit on). I know that there are alot of idle contractors right now- but I don't know where to start to find a reputable one. Any good sources out there that people are willing to share? Thanks...

I'm curious about the pay off option..... any additional info available regarding that? I wonder if anyone does it?

Pasadena is pretty large-- what part of the city does your wife work in? If it is east side- then the 210 heading west is OK-- but it can get worst going thru Pasadena. My only suggestion is before you do anything- rent a hotel in the area you are looking for a week-- and you both try out...

So the vulture fund now owns this house for an investment of $649K?

I just tried to find it on Redfin-- it no longer shows up....... perhaps one of the IHB insiders can find out if the listing was pulled?

They held an open house last weekend. Lots of people going through it. The first floor looks great- 9' ceilings, lots of millwork, etc. I asked the sitting realtor (broker?) when it was done and he said 1996-- if that is true- the owners had incredible vision as it looks like it was...

Thanks USC. So was it the private loan that foreclosed-- and they are now on the hook for the first and second payments as well? Or was it the first loan that foreclosed?

What neighborhood do you live in?

My curiousity has the better of me with this house- Listed for $1,399,000 and is an REO/ Lender owned according to the handout at the open house? A friend of mine who lives nearby said that someone bought it for $1M and is now trying to flip it. Also-- it was in the Irvine World News this...

Woodbridge has a lot of pluses-- most of which have already been mentioned. One BIG negative is the very stringent HOA-- When I lived there-- they held up our escrow because our front gate was painted the wrong shade of white. The color was so close that my husband could only tell the right...

Just to ratchet up the "disbelief quotient" - heard yesterday that some people we know (living in Irvine) haven't made a mortgage payment in 8 months- and they still have not been contacted by the bank!
