    Can you hide your foreclosure?

    Say you're a realtor and have a couple of personal foreclosures. Is there any way to hide this? I keep seeing that only 70% of foreclosures are actually accessible. So what happened to the other 30%? I know a realtor that definitely has been foreclosed on but neither of his two foreclosed...

    I cant' decide to buy or wait?

    No way would I buy in Irvine right now. There's a lot of room to drop. Just watching the property tax, preforeclosure, and NOD activity in my neighborhood would scare me to death if I wanted to buy one of those houses. There will be 10 new ones coming up every month and that will drive the...

    Garage as a home office in Irvine...what do you think?

    We have a neighbor who doesn't park their cars inside their two-car garage. Instead they have a plasma TV, refrigerator, kids playroom along with a desk, office chair and PC. They leave their garage open 24/7 from Friday through Sunday night and almost every weeknight. It's starting to bug...

    Last Property Tax Question - I Promise! (kind of)

    Thank you for this information. So I guess my original question still needs to be answered. Why would the taxes be delinquent, penalties assessed but the remarks field says "Until 6/30/2009"

    Last Property Tax Question - I Promise! (kind of)

    Okay, you are correct. I will provide the question and answer: Question: Why do property taxes appear to be extended? How come you have until 06/30/2009 to pay your property taxes? I thought 04/10/2009 was the deadline and there were no extensions. Answer that I found: Property...

    Advice Requested: Shopping for a Lender

    <strong>This assumes you can even get PMI in OC with a sub 740 FICO score on a condo. It?s like trying to find a non-Kool Aid drinking Realtor. They exist, as do leprechauns and unicorns, the trouble is locating one</strong>. Have I told you that I really enjoy your writing?!

    Real Estate Books & Financial Advice

    <strong></strong>I don't really think you can call it a "science", unless you want to call it the "science of greed". For many people this just became an addiction, how else can you explain people who make 50K a year having remodeled kitchens, new high end cars and European vacations every...

    Foreclosure and Property Taxes Part Deux (Spanish for Two)

    How can a house be in foreclosure and yet the property taxes have just been paid? Two houses down our neighbors are in foreclosure and I see the home on Yahoo Real Estate as being in foreclosure, yet the owners are still living in it and the property taxes have just been paid and are current...

    How much can they make, now?

    So in the heyday all I would hear about were my realtor friends and how they sold seven 600K houses in a month and were getting 60K comp checks monthly. Well times have changed. How much is an average Orange County realtor making nowadays? Let's say she's working for a realty company, so...

    4.2% 30 year fixed refinancing

    5.25 30yr fixed without points isn't too bad. I paid 0.75 points for 4.375 awhile back (conforming refi). 3.5 years before a move or upgrade sounds right-on. Seems like we have a revolving door around us. We've been in the same neighborhood for ten years and the house across the street...

    Orange County Property Tax Installment Plan - WHY?

    Oh I'm really starting to see how this all works now! My neighbor has a two year old Land Cruiser and a three year old beautiful Lexus luxury car. They also have a new Jeep for the fun of it. They also have the lovely property tax installment plan and an abstract judgement from...
