My kids went to Foothill and then transferred to Beckman when it opened. To them, Tustin High is ghetto. Tustin High pulls students from the poorer part of 92780 and its test score is much worse. Foothill gets some of that but it also gets the richer demographic from the Tustin Hills...

awgee, I would love to check it out with you and xsc. Iam not real estate savvy but do have some cash to invest.

I don't get Huntington Beach. Since the stretch of beach there is flat, it's kinda boring too me. Main Street is nice but that's about it. Laguna Beach is where I want to be (I know it's not a fair comparison since Laguna is pricier). I was at Wood Cove this morning in Laguna Beach...

"xsc - Are you thinking maybe we ought to form a partnership to buy some of these turkeys?" I'm in. We should name it "IHB" Partnership.

IPO, in case you didn't know, you can check for sold price versus list price for properties sold in the last 6 months by going to catalisthomes.com. The registration is pretty easy doesn't expire. As with other sites, you can search by zip code with a price range. Please disregard if you know...

I had to sweet talk my wife into waiting another 12 to 24 months recently. The same conversation took place a few times already in the last few years and I expect for it to come up again in about 6 months. What ended the conversation each time was "if you're Ok with spending $100k more now...

Shooby, Costco got some great deals on flat screens if you have membership. They often have coupons for $200 to $300 on top of their low price. Check out Visio brand too if you're looking for best value.

Oops...THEY don't charge a conversion fee.

xtreeter, check out Capital One Credit Card for overseas purchase. I don't charge a conversion fee.

All of them have "reserve" pricing so they can refuse your bid if that targeted price wasn't met. In my opinion, many banks aren't desperate yet so the reserve prices are still high. That will change as we get deeper into the correction.

Check out this video of a "future" trader taking a big hit due to market's gyrations and blowing up. WARNING - lots of F-bombs but a good warning to novice traders (myself included). It would have been funnier if it didn't happen to me during the dot-bomb bubble. Note: he was trading YM =...

Homeless, if you have more than 2 cars it can be a problem later on since Astoria doesn't have driveways. I was told that current HOA policy doesn't let cars parked on the street but they are not enforcing it yet. I liked Plans 2 & 3 but didn't pull the trigger because I think they'll drop...

cap, use www.ushomeauction.com or call 800-776-7332 to sign up. Good luck!

XLM, when an agent offers a rebate (i.e. splitting the commission) to the buyer, does the rebate count as income to the buyer? If yes, is there a way around having the rebate counted as income?

I sold my house in TR near Peters Canyon Elementary School a couple years ago and I am currently renting a house also in TR. To me it's a fantastic area with good schools, good shopping and good restaurants. It's pretty much compatible to the new areas of Irvine but with lower mello-roos...

Buy gas at Costco. I saved a few bucks tonight at the new Costco at the District for $3.1795 a gallon....and then promptly went inside and spent $390 on stuffs (but those Dockers non-iron pants were such a bargain at $22 each).

And it should be added that......The new bottom for pricing won't be reached for another 2 to 5 years.

If you want to buy 1 of these homes now, look at the asking price and put in a bid for $150k less. You might have to negotiate up a little bit but they should be willing to deal as we get closer to the Holidays. For me I am looking at waiting at least another year to see how bad it gets. Good...

awgee, I have never bought gold or silver and don't have any knowledge about investing in them. I only heard that if the dollars go down then we should buy gold. Gold has gone up so much that it might not be prudent to buy it now. Maybe silver would be the next metal to go up. I was just...
