    What to do with $600k cash now?

    <p>If you are a contrarian like myself, check out PFE stocks. After today's close the dividend yield is closed to 5%, this from a company who up until a few years ago was considered a growth stock. I think Pfizer is caught in a perfect storm with fears of impending Hillary care, loss of...

    Villa park case of fraud?

    graphrix, I think you would be interested in this one since it's a foreclosure in VP, and it sure stinks to high heaven. The property is 18411 Jocotal in VP; I'm familiar with the property b/c I considered buying in VP and did look at this property. This is a nice neighborhood, and it has a...

    update on "weeping desert willow"

    I remember several months back IR posted some great listings on Desert Willow. One in particular 28 was artificially (admittedly so by the agent, to spur interest) At that time he claimed that this technique, along with this great blog stirred tremendous interest and that his phone was ringing...

    Foreclosure and distressed property topics

    anyone here tried the new foreclosureradar.com. it seems like they keep track of all properties, all the way through to auction so we don't have to waste time and constantly call to find out that an auction has been postponed.

    Conflicting Information (Should I stay or should I go?)

    <p>code 7700,</p> <p>You must learn the number 1 rule of the free market, including real estate: "The market is ruled by fear and greed." The bubble was created by greed, now that the tide has turned and "fear" is starting to rule. this is the reason why so many people lose their shirt in...

    Outside of Irvine - Skyline OC

    <p>Although I think the whole high rise thing is a bit premature for the OC, I think of all the projects out there this one makes the most sense. why? location, location, location. John Wayne airport, South Coast Plaza, OC performing arts. For all those who talk about this being a &quot;bad...

    High density for entry level buyers.

    <p>BK,</p> <p>by the way I would love your thoughts on "gated communities." It seems like since the 90's the trend has been toward building these gated communities, because I believed that's what the public demands. In my view, it seems like a waste of money and an inconvenience. </p>

    High density for entry level buyers.

    <p>BK, </p> <p>just kidding, I love your posts so keep them coming.</p> <p>Reason,</p> <p>Brandywine is a pretty small time builder, their specialty is the "in-fill" projects with the ability to squeeze in every ounce of space that they have. they built a group of 8 or so home on a 1/2...

    High density for entry level buyers.

    I've been a big fan of your posts here. You are full of insight; however, you are starting to scare me with all this talk of masturbation, strippers and prostitutes.</p>

    What Happened to Turtle Rock Prices in the Early/Mid 90s?

    they closed in early 1997, but placed their deposit in mid to late 1996. I have no doubt it's worth more than 2 milions. Like I said during that time there weren't too many buyers and they were offering 10K incentive for the 1st phase. I remember that was during the height of the high tech...

    What Happened to Turtle Rock Prices in the Early/Mid 90s?

    Remember that Turtle Rock is not the flagship of the IC. Newport Coast was the flagship, and yes they went down just like everyone else. In fact, I have family members who bought in Civita (Greystone/Lennar built in formerly Ocean Ridge now called Pelican Ridge) They bought a 3400 sq foot home...

    Foreclosure and distressed property topics

    <p>Hi Graph;I don't think I have the guts or the cash to ever pick up a foreclosed property at auction, but it would be interesting and worthwhile to know the existing properties on the MLS that are at risk for foreclosures; which of the multitude of commercial list do you recommend; I see...

    Foreclosure and distressed property topics

    graphrix, thanks so much for all this info. This makes a lot of sense since I did call the agent several times over several weeks prior to it being "de-listed" and the guy never called me back . Thus, I think it was a ploy to show that he's trying to sell it in good faith, when in fact he...

    Why would someone need to buy?

    <p>Hi Tyler, I think Gepetoh is right on the money. Beyond this however I must again stress that the "Asian Culture" is indeed dominated by the teachings of Confucius even if the government no longer accepts it. These beliefs are deep seated and would take generations to change. Just as one...
