    I.O.U.S.A.

    Someone on youtube mentioned if your already aware of most of the shenanigans going on w/ the govt. don't bother going. It seems to be pretty entry level stuff. I think the idea is to wake up ppl who haven't been paying attention (most ppl).

    Need advice on timing a home purchase.

    Wow, 1/3 of IHB voted to buy this year!! Double U tee eff!!! I, like yourself, plan on putting atleast 20% down on my future home purchase. I have been hoping that rates will increase a bunch. I'm pretty sure the resulting price drops from rate hikes will leave those of us with 20%+...

    My future living room

    It was originally planned to be condos, then the Irvine company changed their minds at the last minute. Might explain the fireplace.

    My future living room

    What's a cripple stud? I just bought the mount and figured my Dad would be able to figure it out when he helped me move in.

    My future living room

    Also, this is IAC property so even though they said the TV mount would be okay, I can imagine them still charging me at move out.

    My future living room

    The TV mount has been "okayed" by the leasing office, so no worries there. Good point on moving the dresser, which is supposed to be a TV cabinet for playstations, wii's and the like. I'll prolly switch it when I get home today. The living room is 13x14 and the dining room is 6x11...

    My future living room

    I'm moving into this apartment next month and it has a somewhat small living/dining area. So like what any other engineer would do I modeled the whole thing up and tried to see if I could make the space work. In the picture I currently only own the TV and the dining room table, so I want to get...

    OC as a whole dropped 20% since last year, but Irvine hardly dropped? Why?

    The super information highway tells me Irvine's population has dropped 8,079 since last year... and the interweb never lies

    OC as a whole dropped 20% since last year, but Irvine hardly dropped? Why?

    Isn't it just as simple as?: Heavy subrime exposure = 2007 price drops Heavy Alt-A exposure = 2009 price drops Areas with heavy subrime exposure contributed most to lowering OC median prices for the past 2 years, but they will pass the baton to Irvine and other higher priced...

    Gold

    Now is a great time to buy gold. Oil/gold ratio looks good for a short term raise in gold as well as all the inflationary pressure that looks to have no end in sight. Liz, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for the market to hit 9000. Look at what happened recently every time the...

    IR2's Prior Post : Stats show average of 36% down payment on irvine homes sold in 2008 : Several Million Dollar+ homes are 100% Cash Buys!

    Foreigners buying up Irvine property in cash will lose doubly on their investment, dollar and property devaluation. Why would they want to do that?

    Can?t buy in Irvine? Take Advantage of the Pain !

    I would not short the market, for one reason, inflation. Notice every time the DOW makes an attempt to go under 12,000 the fed steps in to prop it up with inflationary pressure. Sure if you could count on our currency maintaing its value from here on out, the DOW would certainly drop. Probably...

    Foreign Competition for Irvine Real Estate

    Foreign investors will lose doubly on Irvine real estate. Continual dollar and housing price decline. I doubt many foreigners will be signing up for that soon.

    I'm tired of seeing IAC rentals on craigslist!

    +49782164324378 Could not agree more, I check craigs list all the time for Irvine places and I have become quite good at spotting IAC ads. "!!!!!!!" and capslock are the big tip offs.
