I'm interested in a house that really would need a loft added to it to make it work for me. I still have to find out dimensions, to see if it's actually possible, but does anybody know what is a reasonable cost/square foot for this type of project? Ideally, I'd like to have the loft be two...

Whoa, that's some cash price! 38 Twiggs in Woodbury went to a 3rd party on the courthouse steps today according to FR. Opening bid, $998,000+ ; winning bid, conveniently unavailable.

I can't believe how the Inland Empire is getting killed. This place looks like a POS, but there were still no takers for it at $38,000 on the courthouse steps today. Isn't the lot worth more than that? The neighboring houses look okay...

by a third party for $673,000+. FR doesn't have the # bedrooms or size though.

If I want to buy a small property for cash flow purposes now, am I screwing myself out of the possibility of getting a loan later for a primary residence?

First of all, those P's come and go, and some of them have been on there for close to a year. So don't go thinking that that inventory gets refreshed on a monthly basis, because it doesn't. I subscribe to FR too and I have seen only four new properties show up in my 2 zip codes that I check...

Buyers are out in incredible numbers. I looked at three places yesterday and one, an REO, had nonstop traffic through it. That one will have an offer on it within days, if it doesn't already. Looks to me like plenty of people think prices in Irvine have gone down far enough. I agree with...

As a parent of three kids under the age of 15, I look at everything from the perspective of how the house and the location will make your life easier. So, while this advice doesn't have anything to do with upgrades or the prestigousness of the address, you should think about the following...

Anybody familiar with 4882 Flagstar Circle in Irvine? Went to a 3rd party on the courthouse steps today for $380,300. Says on FR that it's a 4/2 but only 1200 square feet.

Just because some residents claim that they have gotten cancer from the water in Irvine doesn't make it so. Is there any actual scientific evidence that anyone has gotten sick from this? There is contamination in many, many places in this country. Almost none have any actual, documented...

Just wondering if anyone here sees signs of rents dropping significantly this spring/summer. I've noticed a few rentals in my neighborhood (University Park) that have sat around on the market for several months, but I'm not really seeing rates dropping. Anybody else noticing this in their area?

Hey, 3671 Claremont, in the Culverdale neighborhood, that was a featured post on the blog a couple of weeks ago, went back to the bank today. No takers at $535,000. The market price was what, $599,000.

So Woodland finally fell. It looked like those sellers (well, the bank) would not go below 500,000. Anybody have any idea why 4 Eastmont is in its 3rd escrow attempt?

Just wondering what other people's experience has been with using an agent to find a rental. I don't know how much they make for securing a renter for a client, so maybe they aren't too motivated. When I was looking last year, it was so hard to look and work full time that I thought about...
