True.  If you look at the fancy casinos in Vegas, they all cater their designs to the very superstitious Chinese gamblers.  TIC should do the same.

I went to look at this house and it was very disappointing.  Even for QH's standards, this view was terrible.  I am used to "view" homes in QH.  You  typically can only see a "view" from the second floor but this house was almost level with the next row of houses. I have noticed that these QH...

That's a really good price to paint shutters.  My old painter wanted $100 per pair of shutters.  I laughed and said I might as well buy all new shutters.  I think I might have to give Orlando a call.

Amazing how he could still afford to live in Irvine.  Unless he is older and paid off his mortgage already. So did you give him any money?

Daniel Tosh said... ?You ever notice when people talk about where they live as a good place to raise kids, what they?re trying to say is, ?Where I live is really segregated.? [pause] A little too close to home for you, Orange County??

Who is that?

Hehe.  They just lowered it to 849k

Wow!  Uni is #8 in the country and #1 in CA?  Too bad it is such a long drive from LA/QH to Uni.  I wonder if they will ever rezone the LA/QH people away from Uni?  I wonder if any QH resident knows someone who lives in Shady Canyon who will let them cut across Shady Canyon Drive to get to Uni?

REX doesn't actually sell the home to the winning bidder, right?  I remember placing a bid a REX home and all they did was contact everyone the day after the auction to tell them that they need to pay X amount to get the home.  I don't think the house ever sold.  All REX does is generate buzz. ...

Good to know that I'm not the only one.  What about those places where you go up to the register and order/pay and then sit down where they serve the food to you?  Do you tip ahead of time at the register?

I have always wondered how/if others tip when ordering take out.  I frequently order take out where I would call in an order and then walk in the restaurant to pay with a credit card and then walk out.  I must admit, I usually do not tip so I just draw a line through the tip and total line.  I...

65 Modena just popped up on the MLS.  It's a Cortona plan 3 for $1,069,013.  Same broker commission of 22500.  Please...lets not create a stampede to the sales office.

No that's not it.  The Toscana house is much uglier.  Same shade of red though.

I went to check out the broker co-op property of 33 Como at Toscana.  It's the only home that is painted red.  It was quite the eye sore.  Is this the main reason they are giving a 25k commission?  How much would it cost to paint it if the HOA even lets you do that?

Is this the engineered hardwood that has the interlocking grooves on the edges?  If so, I would have made them redo the whole section rather than hacking it up.

I wish I could do that. I am in no rush to make a decision.  I still want to see what happens to prices once the Jumbo conforming limit decreases to 625k.  I doubt that prices will jump up where I get priced out any time soon.

I was planning on keeping my current house since now might not be the best time to sell.  I don't mind being a landlord. I am trying to find data so I can quantify plan B being a better investment.  I would like to know how much more money I would have made.  I know there is a Fiore home that...

Yes, for B I would keep the 750k house and live in it.

Wouldn't the long term appreciation of 2 Irvine properties be better than 4 properties in the IE?  Assuming a 20% down payment, I would not expect these Irvine properties to be cash flow positive right now until rents go up more in the future.  I just wanted to know what the opportunity cost...

As long as the CTW is bulletproof.  See Turtle Rock shooting/murder.  ;)
