This weekend the wife and I toured the new Shapell development in Laguna Niguel this past weekend (http://www.shapellhomes.com/communities/fiora-at-laguna-niguel) Likes: 1. Location is nice and convenient to 73/5/PCH. On a hill and most of the homes will have some type of view. 2. Plans 1 and 2...

Hello Everyone, I need to get a new set of brakes for my VW and was wondering if anyone had some non-dealer recommendations in the Irvine area. Thanks

Scariest moment in hindsight - I was in college and on 125th street (Malcolm X and MLK Blvd intersection...) getting a new social security card. I head outside and a guy pulls a knife on me and says "money money money" in DAYLIGHT. Not thinking, I punched the guy in the face and knocked him to...

Maybe we should start an elite private school "Turtle Coast Academy" in Irvine. Charge $30,000 a year tuition, offer piano/violin lessons, Calculus I and II for middle school, Mandarin immersion programs and most importantly, advertise how the Irvine public school is holding your child back to...

Will there be free goodies? Maybe my MIL will want to go in our place, she loves model home tours and it gets her out of my house for a few hours.

IR - "commercially reasonable period of time" is where Short Sales should be excluded.

Buffet Strategy, this is a tough one, especially when trying out a new lunch buffet place. Strategy 1 - The piler - pile everything you can onto one plate, take the longest amount of time to go from buffet back to your table so when you return, everyone can see how much food you have taken...

Great idea by TIC to encourage the rewards program. Buyers will perceive the "equity credit" as house money and be more willing to overpay for a development that is overpriced since hey, it is a credit!

I agree with Wendy...I honestly felt like StanPac "missed" with this development. My wife and I were originally so psyched when they announced the builder because we love other developments and thought Portola would be great in the future. The tot lot in the area was pretty fun at least.

Can we get a new forum called "Indie/IHO/Whoever Else Flame War" ? I think rates will not change materially in the next 6 months.

IHS - can't you just divide everything price/sq ft home/lot size to normalize these things? When we were running our own comps on various homes I did that to try and estimate lot premiums. It really makes the homes with < 5000 sq ft lots seem like horrible deals.

He is now 3, I always call him my Ferdinand (he loves to read books and would rather do that than run around). In terms of attitude/general nerddom I am more Big Bang Theory than 300. I definitely want my son to learn how to stick up for himself (in a proper way), but if some boy was doing the...

The wife and I have started looking at homes in that area. Any thoughts from the peanut gallery on the neighborhood? Schools/Montessori/Community?

Instant HELOC access!

Bullying is a tough one. My son is a gentle giant. An older kid at his previous school was picking on him and my son just took it. Fortunately enough I was nearby one day to see what was going on so I corrected the situation (talked to the older kid and informed the teachers). One thing that...

Is Pat Star purposefully misspelling sacrifice? Is there some inside joke I am missing?
