You should have gone and joined them, make a big mess.

True story: I went out towards Portola Pkwy between Jeffrey and Culver many years ago, maybe 10, when there was even less stuff there, to get away from the light pollution and try to observe some stars and stuff.  Parked near a fence with a tarp on it, I got out to do my sky viewing, and heard...

I see this as an accurate trend.

I live in IAC apartments for years before owning, they don't negotiate. If they throw you a bone it's something minor.  They often start with pretty sweet promotions to begin with, so they aren't looking to give more away. To add to what others are saying, some people who purchased with strong...

You would have to buy a faceplate to use those openings, I bought mine in the media hardware section at Home Depot.

Usually there's an outlet close to the TV's location on the wall, and then a conduit and opening to carry receiver wires down below the TV, where a cable box/receiver would go.  There's no actual wiring there.

I didn't think the price he claimed at Village was accurate.  I've lived there and it was expensive a few years ago.  Not to mention, apartments generally don't give you an equivalent amount of space as if you were paying a mortgage.  Case in point there aren't many 2br/2ba homes in Irvine less...

Kinda cool, he has a door casing so he could have just bought a cheapo door, but I can appreciate the desire to DIY.  Unless you are being sarcastic, then yeah, this sucks  8)

Disappearing coat closets, it's scandalous.

It's hard to say, I guess it comes down to whether you are a bull or bear on Irvine; or if you believe the economy is built on a solid foundation or not.  BP prices are consistent with Irvine prices,so Beacon Park should go as Irvine goes for the next 5 years, more or less. Personally, I expect...

Some of those inspections are every few years.  Plus new homes tend to come with long warranties.

Just saw this article from Yahoo.  Is Johns Creek near Norcross?http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2016/09/10/being-white-and-minority-georgia/PpBh8303fUVlfkYUDgQeuN/story.html

The framewalk is really useful to spot any mistakes with the electrical wiring.  When I had some J-boxes installed I could have found during the framewalk that they were installed in the wrong place.  Instead I missed it or didn't know to look for it turned into a big screw up.  You'll want to...

Being on the 3rd floor they should get a decent breeze, no? I wonder what the warranty situation is on residential elevators.

that's a good deal, the extra 3% is not much for such a low rate.  Not that I did the math.

20% down?

I like that modern style and would definitely buy one.  They sort of look like the modern apartments out on Jamboree. It's a different vibe.  IP designs are much tamer by comparison.

Prices in Irvine didn't go down as much as other places in So Cal, but those other places did get hammered.  2006-2009 was bleak.

We just locked in a rate on a Jumbo cause the loan officer was worried that rates might jump on us.  If we pay the down payment down some more we can get the lower rate, I'm not sure if it's worth the opportunity cost.  Any thoughts? Also, isn't the LIBOR sort of...scandalous?  They did have...

In my recent talks to a sales agent at a new home construction, she made sure to note that there is no consequence for the builder if they delay COE.  Unlike if the buyer delays, they get walloped with fees and penalties.  I would say it's a little unfair.  I'm sure if the buyer wants they can...
