    Buying New vs. Buying Old in Irvine

    what exactly is old? Built in the 80s or 90s? Some of the buyers like myself love the vaulted ceilings and I do realize that anything made before 95 most likely would not have these features. Same thing with the laundry area upstairs. There are some decent properties showing up at...

    Quail Hill vs Northpark / Woodbury

    I was just wondering, all things being fair not considering HOA and Tax Rates. Is there any weather advantage living closer to the ocean at Quail Hill? But then again you are surrounded by mountains. I've always lived at the Northpark side of Irvine or east of the 5 Freeway and it gets...

    2505 San Saba St. Tustin Ranch

    I heard that they were accepting bids on this property until today and the highest bidder gets submitted to the bank. You need to be pre-approved by Wells Fargo to enter escrow.

    2505 San Saba St. Tustin Ranch

    Imagine a donut and the hole is where this house sits everything around you is an apartment complex. I think the tax rate is below 1.1% which is appealing HOA is $50 since there is no pool or bbq area. Its close to 2 small parks though.

    2505 San Saba St. Tustin Ranch

    Im so pissed right now. I actually want to have a chance and buy this house. But were unqualified due to conflict of interest from Wells Fargo. And to think I saw this on the MLS system which is pretty much a public listing.

    2505 San Saba St. Tustin Ranch

    Its too close to Irvine so I decided to ask here. <u>http://www.redfin.com/CA/Tustin/2505-San-Saba-St-92782/home/4756345</u> I saw this interesting property at the MLS over the long weekend. Its an REO from a company affiliated with Wells Fargo. Too bad we can't touch it since my wife...

    Why would someone need to buy?

    This thread has gone way off topic.

    How much $$ do you think this blog has saved people?

    This blog has saved me from buying at Columbus Grove. I'm currently mortgage free and a happy renter for the next year. I probably saved 80k of depreciation over 2-5 years because I read this forum. I'll see what May 2008 brings.

    FICO Manipulation

    I only had 1 credit card growing up and rarely used it. My 1st car was under my parents name but I did pay them monthly for it. Because of that my FICO was always mid 600s. Back then, an old girlfriend decided to put me as an authorized user on 2 of her credit card she had 6 of...

    Renting From A Flipper

    The month to month thing is as much to their advantage as yours. Do you really want to get kicked out of you new home 3 months later down the road just because Mr. Flipper sold the house? I live in a 1 bedroom apartment right now and I can tell you with the stuff I own, I wont be...

    OC Flip Track Blog

    Me and my wife got bored so we drove to this neighborhood. It has an electronic gate and we were lucky enough to follow someone in. The neighborhood has a good vibe and atmosphere to it, lots of greenery. But its so dense, you can stick your hands out the window and borrow some salt from...

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Grove - Madison

    The concrete processing plant and the power lines plus the Tustin Address was enough to make us reconsider then came the train... I honestly don't know if its the bear in me or not, but every incentive that I see nowadays seems like a marketing ploy by the builders to hide the fact that...
