What's up with that Bitterwood property? They bought it for 455K in 2003, want around 1 mil return on it? Who in their right mind buy a house in Woodbridge for 1.2-1.3? For this money, there is plenty of properties in much nicer areas...

Have you folks been buying some gold lately? I tried to buy 5 American Eagles today, called several dealers, nobody has anything in stock. Panda must have gotten there before me :) Seriously though, I read blackvault's posts about the Dow/Gold ratio and decided that it really does make...

I love that! I like that movie too, so I might enjoy the whole thing twice as much :))

Good idea. Funny you should mention that, he does bring some girls over on the weekends, but they aren't too loud when, you know :) It is kind of sad that I'm so intimately familiar with someone's dating life I guess...

I guess I know who I need to invite over to get rid of my neighbors :) The problem I'm currently having is kind of minor compared to how I suffered before: my neighbor upstairs has a habit of running around his apartment from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. He slams the doors and stomps his feet, but it...

Why would you want to spend 1M + on a property in Irvine? If I had that kind of money to spare, I'd move to Newport or CDM in a heartbeat. I laughed when I read momopi's comment on the roundabout, I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm one of the people who gets confused there all the...

Yeah, I'd suggest moving too if you are otherwise not satisfied with the place you live. If you like everything but your neighbors, you shouldn't be forced out. Chances are that the place you move to will have the same or even worse problem. Do you have double-panel windows? If that's your...

What's the nature of your neighbor problem?

I thought I'd start this thread to collect all the tips that you might have on how to deal with bad neighbors. Speaking from a personal experience, I think I have a bad karma that concentrates in the neighbors department. Everywhere I lived, I always had the most unruly, loud, at a minimum...

Wait, I thought UCI's majority of students are Asian and I always thought that majority of Asian kids don't party, they just study all the time and play their violin? OK, I'm going to start that neighbors thread now :)

Panda, I feel very safe b/c I got nothing to lose financially (besides my job) :), so I don't really have any savings or any kind of money/stock I should worry about. However, following advice posted by smart people on this forum, I'm planning to buy some gold and some TIPS with what little...

I think nomogy is either the seller or the realtor. But he/she fooled even Irvine Renter himself. So, welcome :)

I'm pretty much in the same boat as ipoplaya: though not a career Republican, I'm somewhere in the center, leaning to the right. So, I was going to vote for McCain until he made his bizzarre VP pick. Watching Biden's performance, I was amazed how someone so qualified to be the President only has...

Blackvault, if it is not a secret, what industries do better with Democrats and Republicans? Thanks!

On a bright side though, if you do end up living close or inside the low income housing, the turnover is very high. So if a neighbor bothers you, just wait a little. One day when you are walking by you will see a sheriff's eviction notice plastered on their door. True story-happened to me twice...

I just the cable, but if Direct tv and satellite dish is the same thing, then I have seen many units having this dish on their balconies. Hope this helps.

I lived next to affordable housing units, it is the same thing as living next to cheap apartment complexes-drugs, shoot outs, 30 poor relatives visiting their more fortunate relative every weekend, they are all going to hang out by your front door, kick the ball at your garage, let their...

Yup, I'm the cautious type, wouldn't drive a motorcycle if somebody paid me for this :)

Hey T!m, can you interpret this flowchart you posted for me? Does it mean that Wells Fargo is going to be taken over by the feds?

Does anybody know how our congressman Campbell voted? I didn't see his name in the vote breakdown list. Thanks!
