<p>I wil be a relocator to Irvine/OC soon. The COLA calculators that most web sites offer are worthless as it's based on general info. I'm trying to get as much full information as I can in order to determine/negotiate a proper salary adjustment. I am in the financial services field. If...

<p>I've always found that interest deduction is a farce. Let's spend $1 in interest to get 10 cents back? If you can live mortgage debt free. you are the better person for having done so. </p>

<p>Amazing, absolutely amazing.....</p> <strong> <p>AP</p> <p>AP IMPACT: Services That Let Home Buyers Piggyback on Others' Credit Roiling the Industry </p> <p>Only a low credit score stood between Alipio Estruch and a mortgage to buy a $449,000 Spanish-style house in Weston, Fla., a few...

<p>I had to pipe into this discussion to say that the grass always seems greener...but it's actually brown as well. I had never really noticed the aloofness in so. CA residents until I moved away to the midwest and then moved back. Then when we moved back to the midwest, we met all of our...

<p>We live in a transitional society now where nothing is permanent as it was during the days of when we grew up and our parents stayed in their jobs for 30-yrs and in the same neighborhood. We live in a development here in the midwest that aspired to recreate the front porch, sidewalks and...

<p>I checked out the Metrolink and can pick up the train in Irvine on Barranca Parkway....very nice... as we are considering Village of Columbus Ciara or Mille Fleurs in Woodbury. It looks like it take about 1 hr :10 minutes to get to Union Station in LA, not too bad. Not sure how I get from...

<p>I am planning to move my family to Irvine and will be working out of downtown LA. So, the question is...what's the commute going to be like? I'm sure it's hell, but I want to raise my kids near family. I do some business travel so will have flexibility to work from home and/or offset...

<p>OCTrojan, </p> <p>I sense from your comments that you don't think you'll be able to sell your place. If that's the case and you have to end up refinancing anyway, a 5-10% down may ease your mortgage payment a bit, and could be cheaper than renting? But the downside is that you will have...

<p>I wanted to get some feedback regarding this scenario. My sister wants me to take over her home as we may be relocating to the area. She bought it several years ago for alot cheaper than what we could buy any home in the area today, resale or new. We haven't discussed whether we will do a...
