Thanks for the answer, still seems like madness to me, but with Bubble 3.0 starting I guess it is all good.

Can you explain range pricing to me? Whenever I see a home with a range I always say "Oh clearly I want to pay at the top of that range!" It just seems like a weird tactic.

http://www.irvinemontessorischool.com/ I could write a paragraph about the problems we saw there - multiple teachers were suddenly fired/quit but they all left "due to a family emergency" (they literally had 6 teachers leave since December). The owner/manager would openly talk about other...

We have a BOB that we bought from REI (REI rocks) when they had their 25% off sale. The stroller is great for everything we need, we got the car seat adapter for the Chico and have used it since our daughter was born. It is definitely one of the expensive strollers, but if you ever go to the...

We are now in month 1 of new daycare. We took our son out of an Irvine Montessori school and placed him in a -gasp- non-Montessori school and it honestly has been the best thing possible. We thought his attitude/behavior were a result of the terrible 3s, but as it turns it, he just hated having...

Yikes, glad your 8 yr old knows the proper protocol for strangers

IR - random note, every time I click on a thread that has a post by you in it I get a login pop-up. Do you have a picture in your sig or something from a secure site? Thanks

If they died at an old age in the home it could be considered a good place. Too many things fall under natural causes for my liking, so I would press a realtor if they mentioned it. Otherwise no.

Fail inspection means deal-breaker for the buyer. Would you want to buy a place and want to go through mold remediation? The electrical stuff was going to be expensive and the flipper would not lower their price based on estimated cost of repairs.

One note of caution - if you are buying something from a Flipper, make sure you get a quality inspector. I have seen 2 homes fail inspection due to either MOLD (WTF?!) or shoddy electrical that the flipper chose to ignore.

He "waxed on" and "waxed off" his master or for those who have to see the new one He "jacket on" and "jacket off" fast enough

I know Santa Cruz in WBE and the Portola Detached products (Primrose, Casero) all failed the test. Eventually you were stopped by the side yard wall or the A/C or something that required you to turn around.

Does it pass the walk-around test? If you cannot walk around the entire house without obstruction then it is most likely a detached condo. I'm sure IHS or someone could answer with the official definition

Yes but, think of the red towels!

Got an email from the developer - they sold out the first 3 phases and had a lottery for phase 4. Pricing is up $30k across the board (!?!@?) These went from being "just above our max" to "no way in hell" Oh well, maybe I can buy in Augusta before it is too late

Lot size estimates? I am guessing largest lot of 5200sq ft

Hey all, Does anyone have a recommendation for a good knee doctor/physical therapist? I injured (tore MCL) many years ago and due to being in high school and not wanting to miss my senior season, played through the pain. Now that I am older, I find that any type of activity that puts pressure...

Notice how you never see mikeirvine and indiedev in the same thread?

Meredith Whitney is the Sarah Palin of Municipal Bond Analysts. ~I am quoting someone who knows 100000000x more about munis than the equity analyst that was right on one stock (C)

An API is like a guarantee and you know what? That doesn't tell me a thing. I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it. What are the alums are doing now? ~Just wanted an excuse to quote a movie today.
