' TIC is also notorious for looting people off their deposits and what not...so would you rather rent with them or someone private who actually gives a damn about keeping their home in a good condition and returning the max possible out of your deposit?

I dont get much of a say as the builder will not offer free upgrades, take it or leave it == thats what you hear on the face

I have actual MLS data reflecting the fact regarding the rentals of pricing.

What is TIC?

You mean double pane is the new norm?

Thanks eyephone, 1. Probably will try my own luck 1st 2. Not sure how to manage my property from lets say san francisco 3. How much does landlord insurance costs per year? Which one is the best? 4. Pets: Umm i think no, since they will create issues on upgraded carpets. Bigger Q: will the...

Good points, everywhere in my condo (2015 built) is single pane...so practically its going to suck

Sorry but the square footage on these things are a joke, 1100 sq ft, 3 bed ..lmao..no freaking way is anyone paying 2400$ to rent that box, any well built, new apartment >1500 sq ft will rent b/w 2600-2900$ depending on your property management company and luck.

Lol, i better sneak out after 5 years ...if those 4 had to collapse on me & yes at 550k, there isn't any choice at all in IR, so your point is spot on, quality and builder well..there's a whole rant about all of them pretty much using contractors/warranty being just a fluke/cheap materials =...

Thats interesting, i will have more data to share as i know that more units have been sold in my neighborhood now

\ Sorry to dash your hopes, but any decent 2 bed-room apartment costs a bare minimum of $2400 to rent in Nov-Feb timeframe (the worst time to rent out a home from a landlords perspective) and it goes upto $2900 for the same in Summers. My suggestion: Build Equity, sell at high, rent out in...

You gotta move to east-coast or mid-west for basements, lol: nothing like that here in CA !

I worked with a property management company to get the last 5 year data of IR rentals for 2 bedrooms and found that during an entire 12 month period, the average time it takes to rent out a condo in IR is 25 days :), unless you ask for an obnoxious price at the wrong time of the year, so this...

Lol, i came across this:http://www.kbhomesleak.com/--> not sure if they can manage to do the same kind of construction in Irvine as what i heard from their Super-intendent - the guy who does your final walk through - we need to get 70 signatures from city of IR before our construction is approved.

Not really eyephone, if you put yourself in my shoes, since last Aug 2015, i walked every block of Southern CA to search for an ideal investment+ livable SFR (Condo was not even something i wanted) with a max budget of 550k, i pulled out of a dangerous mistake on the 16th day of buying a SFR in...

Thanks Irvinehomeowner, even if i don't get to live in it due to moving for a better job, i would rent it out and take the inital 10k/year negative hit as cost expenses for the condo till the IR rent soars upto $3200-$3300/month for a 2 bedroom in PS and then i will have it break-even (my PITI)...

Nope, i never checked Kbhomes build quality review, was not in the market to buy a new condo to start with, happen to came across Portola and the 4 story attached condo, fitted my max bill of 550k & called the shots on it. I am not sure who the best builder is in IR or CA or USA? Please share

Who said i am selling? I am going through some nervous initial jitters as my 110k down got wiped off my accounts as it's my 1st purchase. Selling is atleast 35k expense, i am not selling it unless i see it swell to 700k in next 5 years, so i can atleast make 100k on it...lol hopes !!! Hopes...is...

I know...but i was mislead saying IR market is insulated from recessions, either-ways, i hope i haven't bought at the very peak, is there a graph that can clearly show how the IR condo prices have increased from 2012-2015? I don't want to know the horrendous single family home stories as million...

Thanks Irvinehomeowner, yes i have bought it with 10 years in mind, worst case - everything crashes - i will rent it out and weather the storm :)
