Looks like some IAC's will play bluff until the very end. You'll basically need to have a small deposit placed somewhere, give them a 30 day notice, and be prepared to move, KNOWING that they may or may not counter you during the 30 day period. The end game plays out quickly. Or what you can do...

So I checked out 4 places today... woodbury square, somerset, calypso, and avalon. Calypso/Woodbury is probably the 2 better ones. Somerset has a direct access garage for 1br unit, which is neat. So far, I've gotten these answers: 1) The "free rent" is factored into the monthly lease...

Oh darn, that means I've narrowed it down to "only" 8 units.... will take a whole weekend to check out... Here's what I'm looking at: Las Palmas Serrano Woodbury Square Woodbury Court Somerset Camden Calypso Avalon 3400 Avenue of Arts Oh and forgot to mention, $1.5k/mo...

Would anyone happen to know the best place to look up lease/move in specials for IAC apts or otherwise? I checked out rental-living and it looks like most apts do not have such move in specials, and some feel like gimmicks to sucker people in. Other places list rates but they said that...

With all of the buyers holding off for the last few years, I'm sure there will be some who can't wait anymore. I know a lot of my friends are the same way, just waiting, and waiting, until they can't possibly wait anymore. Someone tells me that most listings in irvine are getting full price (or...

Say, if i put 100k on a 400k property as a down payment, can i HELOC all of it out or is it stuck in there?

Forgive me if the question sounds kind of dumb. But I'm wondering if its possible to draw the down payment $$ out of your home or at least use that equity as some sort of collateral for another loan? I've always been a renter so I missed out on the free money :D :D j/k. Loan brokers and...

Let me know when 0 down loans are back too!! :)

Yeah... its a sticky situation... very very sticky... I've always thought of what might happen to people who let their homes go, when the economy rebounds... The bank can file a lawsuit to claim $$ back. Even if you don't have $$ to pay back, they can garnish wages and watch checks come in for...

The BS part about the whole thing, is that CA pushed up the due dates for annual LLC fee, by 10 months. So I'm paying $6k on Apr 15, then another $6k on June 15. Sales tax, VLF increase isn't significant for us OC people. Its what, 300 bucks for the entire year? I'll gladly pay that, just don't...

I have a friend who is currently underwater on an investment property in the riverside area. This property was mainly purchased to diversify an investment portfolio. With a 33% down payment, the idea is to have rent income offset the payments, with a goal of selling 5-8 years later. This...

The question is.... why arent these guys trying to rent their homes out? They can't all be foreclosed can they?

^^ Now THAT would a an awesome arrangement! Just to give a background, I'm on the internet 14 hrs a day, researching for income opportunities whether it is real estate, tangible good, financial related... In the past, I went as crazy as buying $250k of groceries (with no capital) flipping...

Being in import/export I benefited from these HELOC people, saw many of those customers come thru the door bragging about their property appreciation. What I would be worried about, is if say, someone bought 2-3 properties option-arm, HELOC'd the hell out of them, gave the money to...

He asked about a 385k condo but mentioned buying a slightly smaller one. So, 325k? He also mentioned that the home was purchased with 1031 funds, meaning that, if you don't spend it, you get taxed 15%. In essence, he had the choice of throwing the money away by paying to IRS (At 15%, thats...

Oh I forget, these are >1600 sqft homes, fairly close to the strip, and the interior looks fairly decent though most are empty. 1800sqft are going $100ish. If its too big, you'll use an entire year's of rental profit to fix the damn place ;) $20k down will be like less than $500 a month...

A buddy of mine e-mailed me some links to Las Vegas real estate, saying that the homes there are sub-100k. At first I didn't really believe this but after browsing some realtor.com listings, there are literally thousands of listings in the above criteria between $75-100k. With a 20k down payment...

I'm guessing you guys haven't heard of the thousands of luxury cars left at Dubai International Airport collecting dust. Expats who lost their job and are deep in home/house/credit card debt, they're buying a 1-way ticket out, leaving their credit cards in the car, some with "sorry" notes...
