    My kids are younger so prolly not as big as a problem as it will be in the future.  Anyways, I have a 7 year old and 10 year old.  They can't use the ipad on the weekdays at all.  They are allowed to use the ipads on the weekends, but they can only use them in our presence so that we can...

    Master and Secondary Bath Upgrades: Builder Design Center vs. Outside

    You would be surprised that sometimes builders do offer a good price.  We've bought homes from CalPac (Irvine Pacific) in the past they charged too much.  But we are in contract with a home from Brookfield homes and I was surprised that their prices were reasonable.  I am a GC and was so ready...

    Irvine Fantasy Real Estate: Feb 5 Village Edition

    These are dumb.  If you really want us to decide which unit, then give comparative data for the units in a chart.  makes no sense to click on all 4 links to get all the information.

    What A Difference 1 Month Can Make...

    I would imagine being convicted for >$4 million ponzi scheme would lead to several million in liens.  He got some serious time for that, more than 6 years

    Orchard Hills Homes

    I would say selling 7 home from $1.5 - $1.7 within an hour is selling really well. They called 10 people on their list to sell these 7 homes.  This was phase 7 sold out last wednesday

    Orchard Hills Homes

    The other product in the 1.5 range is selling really well (La Cresta).  FCB may prefer SG over WB due to schools, but La Cresta is selling way better.  Lot size may be the difference (or village amenities).  dunno  There are a couple lots in Sausalito that are larger, but not many.  La Cresta...

    Great Park Neighborhoods

    cool.  Also wondered if you knew the owner of the Tesla garage fire since it was in Irvine near UCI, small community of Tesla owners in Irvine (maybe not so small, but can't be too many)

    True, but it may be harder to replace the family within it.

    Dividing the broker co-op, illegal??

    Assuming California property purchase money loan (no refi), there is no recourse by the lender UNLESS they look for loan fraud, then you become liable. You can walk away from a defaulted loan on a purchase money loan in CA without any recourse for loan deficiency.  However, loan fraud...

    Great Park Neighborhoods

    Homer - I've been meaning to ask you about the Tesla.  I've been thinking about it.  Did you get it yet?  Does that recent garage fire possibly started by the charging system cause any concern to you?  I know there was a couple of car fires out there and I dismissed those, but now maybe burning...

    Dividing the broker co-op, illegal??

    You also have to be careful about loan fraud.  if you took a loan on this property and received money that was not disclosed to the lender, you are at risk, especially if the loan goes into default.  The only way that I would share a commission (as a broker or a buyer) is in escrow, fully disclosed.

    Homes by investors

    Just FYI..the property was sold at the auction so it is not bank owned.  I've got the recorded grant deed.  Zillow is not always accurate when it comes to title chain especially in foreclosure situations.

    Homes by investors

    Interesting.... MLS will only list the sales price if an agent has added it to the MLS.  Not all sales are via MLS, so unless someone adds the sale to the MLS, it won't be in the MLS.  The best way is to review sales is from recorded grant deed (or trustee deed) records.  MLS access also...

    Helicopter circling Woodbury this evening (sand canyon rd closed?)

    Woodbury East does have cops, but easy to drive in and out.  I spoke with a cop and he said that they are looking for a burglary suspect.

    Stonegate Elementary - National Blue Ribbon School 2013

    Interesting.  This would make the first elementary school in Irvine to win it for a second time.  They won it before in when they were Westwood Basics Plus.  The enrollment will now be crazy.  Same thing happened at Northwood when they won it in 2008.  Enrollment went from something like 400...

    Housing about to Blowup

    But with much more cash buyers and financing harder to get, won't the landing be softer than before?
