iceeman - i can't find the part that mentions 40% affordable housing. can you point it out? thx

but is it possible to MAKE MONEY using a high FICO score? ummm

it's one of those data points that you can interpret any way you like: 1- irvine is a heavy industrial factory town, where tons of people clock out at 5pm 2- irvine is a heavy technology town, where all residents telecommute and no one leaves their house during the day 3- irvine is a...

funny you say that - i just read in Smart Money that adding your children as authorized users on credit cards used to help their FICO score, but fair isaac's 2008 model eliminates that hole. is this what you're referring to?

eff - what's "renting AU tradelines"? is that buying funds with NAVs cut in australia but invested heavily in another time zone?

this occurred to me when i started thinking, "having a high FICO score can save you money, but unless you're buying a house, you can't really generate positive cashflow with it." so the next question was, "how can i generate positive cashflow using a FICO score?" but maybe there is...

can people who have excellent FICO scores arbitrage them to make money? i'm referring to totally or almost riskfree transactions, so becoming a loan shark to subprime borrowers doesn't count

just saw this quote in a broker newsletter, who claimed he sourced this from the OC Register who is in turn quoting the Census Bureau's first estimate of daytime population. according to him -> it -> it, the 74% jump makes irvine the #1 jumper in the whole country. the estimate only...

for a decent (i.e. known in the newspapers/neighborhood) one, expect to spend $300...then again, this is what my father paid about 10 years ago, methinks prices should have gone up!

beard papas!!! BEARD PAPAS!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

blackacre-seeker - we were very surprised by how many million-dollar homes were decorated inside like pure shit in irvine! we could only guess that the "homeowners" were mortgaging the farm to buy as big a house as they could, leaving themselves no money and forced to use plastic folding chairs...

sure...for some reason we get multiple versions of the same channel. maybe because NBC is broadcasted out of LA and San Diego and somewhere else? anyway, here are the channels we get now: 2 - kcbs-dt 4 - nbc-4 la, wx-plus, news raw 5 - ktla-dt, ktla-d2 9 - kcal-dt 11 - kttv-dt...

reason - you either drink 18 cans of soda a day, or you're a dumpster-diver for cans

dump cable, buy an indoor hi-def antenna and a hi-def tuner, get about 20 channels with nothing to pay after your initial $50 for the antenna and $150 for the tuner.

like anonymous said, alderwood used to be a magnet school where kids had to take an exam/evaluation before acceptance. then it was moved to quail hill 2 years ago. the entire school was picked up, principal, staff and equipment included, and became a neighborhood school. kids who were already...

that sounds too good to be true. we're in the process of locking in a rate for a 30-yr fixed, but it's nowhere near 5.75%. if it is, i would say grab it now. just because the feds lower the overnight rate doesn't mean there will be a same-size reduction in the 30 yr rate

two comments that i have to get off my chest: 1- i find it amusing that politics is a zero-training profession, meaning if you want to become a politician, sure, just brush up on your people skills and declare yourself eligible for the local election. if i want to become an electrician...

if your kids are young (under 4 years old), join the local moms' club so they will meet other kids and have play dates. methinks most neighborhoods have one - woodbridge, quail hill, turtle rock, etc. the newer neighborhoods (woodbury, quail hill, turtle ridge) have more kids in general...

yeah we moved there before it became hip, then guiliani bussed all the homeless to the outer boroughs and we were like, hey this place is turning into one cool place to live! were u a policewoman on CT too?
