    Not to get too off topic here but I was also considering Merced and Stockton as investment choices but my research is still in its infancy so any input would be appreciated.

    Investing in Las Vegas? Where do I start?

    I'm wondering where we could find stats on where all the people in LV that lost their homes are now living?  Are they still living in LV and renting?  I wonder what apartment vacancy rates look like right now?

    Investing in Las Vegas? Where do I start?

    I wanted to get your thoughts on the LV market right now.  Not sure if anyone here has delved into that yet.  If it is true that you can get a decent 3BR SFR for $60k and receive positive cashflow then it almost sounds too good to be true.  Are there some good sites that talk about what one...

    Best HOA Bang for your Buck?

    So if somebody successfully negotiates this $20,000 lien amount to $10,000, will the current homeowners in the community end up paying for this?  If they take the money from the excess cash allocation to cover lost attorney fees, wouldn't that be the case?

    Best HOA Bang for your Buck?

    Is there an institution that regulates these HOA's?  I was looking to buy a condo while back but there was a $20,000 lien from the HOA that any buyer would have to pay cash upon purchase.  I laughed because the previous owner was only delinquent for a year.  The rest were to pay the HOA...

    Best HOA Bang for your Buck?

    The MLS shows the HOA as $272 + $67.  This is for an attached SFR on the lake.  Very nice though.

    Best HOA Bang for your Buck?

    My coworker told me that he would buy a house in Irvine if it wasn't for the extremely high HOA fees.  I told him that the HOA prices in Irvine vary greatly and it got me thinking.  Where is the best bang for your buck HOA in Irvine?  I need your input bc I've only lived in a handful of places...

    Laguna Altura...can you say broker co-op?

    61 Modena is listed at $966,847.  If you know a broker who will give the full commission you can deduct $22,500 which comes out to  $944,347 for a 2380 sq ft 4BR SFR. I would much rather live in Turtle Ridge but for that price you can only live in Canyon's Edge.  I like to call it Canyon's...

    Power Rankings: Irvine Communities

    Oh yes, you are correct.  I forgot about LA.  Not sure if I would put it ahead of QH tho.  At least some QH homes have views.

    Power Rankings: Irvine Communities

    So a friend of mine was asking me about which communities in Irvine I would recommend.  So I thought I would put together a list of my top communities. Note: He will not consider any communities east of the 5 because he considers that the "IE" of Irvine. 1) Shady Canyon 2) Turtle Ridge 3) Quail...

    Where can I find homes with vaulted/cathedral ceilings in Irvine?

    They just want to squeeze all they can in a tiny footprint.  It makes me wonder why builders make single story homes.  Is there a quota to fill for the seniors?

    Cheapest home in Turtle Ridge's Summit

    This thread is reminding me of all the sports talk radio shows with all of their predictions.  Maybe we should start a 'Bold Predictions' thread and keep track of who makes the most accurate predictions through the years?
