    3-Car Garage Homes

    Having the range on the center island seems like the worst place possible with kids around. As far as Jamboree - I have to imagine the noise is comparable to LV 133 noise, maybe more people accelerating

    rental value of a 3/2.5 detached 1700 sq ft. condo portola

    200% gain since 2009 is not that hard if Indie was fortunate enough to buy in March-May 2009. My Total Return since then is about 150% just on straight buy/hold.

    Other than schools what is Irvine's greatest draw?

    Joke from OCReader (maybe IHB, dunno). I believe the biggest draw is the successful branding done by TIC. Irvine is Name-Brand Other OC is Kirkland

    Tipping when ordering take out?

    I usually tip a buck for take-out. The tips still get pooled and go to the kitchen staff as well. Same for Wahoo's

    S+P Downgrade of US debt

    I'll be working this whole weekend. Pretty shitty thing to find out at 7pm on a Friday night as you are walking out the door. S&P = Un-American

    Trumark Sells Lake Forest Development Site to KB Homes

    No new schools is just madness. Do they think Laguna Woods is going to relocate? Plus I need to reiterate, KB...ugh.

    Who can truly afford a home in Irvine?

    Drop in stock market = drop in bond yields = lower mortgages again. SGIP - I'm doubt we will see a 500 point rebound even if UE numbers show a drastic improvement. The market VERY VERY rarely recovers steep losses the next day. The cattle got slaughtered today (my 401k included) and the common...

    Sleeping arrangements

    We got my son a full-sized bed and on the nights he does have a nightmare (like last night) one of us will bring him back to his room and lay down with him until he falls asleep. He and my wife are very "large" sleepers (move around a lot), so co-sleeping is not an option if I ever want to sleep.

    Who can truly afford a home in Irvine?

    I know - when I graduated from grad school my rate was about 2% and I paid it off in a year (probably unwisely).

    Who can truly afford a home in Irvine?

    Student loans suck. My wife had a nice array of grad-school loans with the following interest rates: 8.5 8.0 7.5 6.88 6.5 We have been paying off these loans as aggressively as possible, but instead of us sitting on a down-payment, we have halved her loans. I am sure a lot of late 20s/early...

    Northpark Flip: 2 Malibu

    davenlei - If you don't mind me asking - where are you in South County? Do you commute up to Irvine or another place north of there? We are looking at South County now instead of Irvine and I am wondering how that is going.
