Ya thats why I was wondering. My neighbors in CG are renting out rooms in their homes and I wouldn't really have thought as they are all families too.

Just wondering how many people are renting out a room in their home, especially in homes north of the 5 freeway? I imagine being closer to UCI/IVC would make it significantly easier to rent out a room to a student etc. But are many of you guys or people you all know renting out a room out in...

Just call me Bart. Following in your footsteps lol. You looking at something in Saratoga? They just got approved for like an additional 90 some houses.

From my understanding I believe you would only pay taxes on those upgrades during the first year. Just an FYI. But I think you're on the right track as the homebuilders always overcharge for their upgrades. I get all this talk about comparing apples to oranges (warantees etc, for some items...

I'm still waiting for my house to be built so I won't know about traffic etc. I'm currently living in Columbus Grove and while I do like the location, I am sorta upgrading to a detached product. Irvinecommuter, I like you weighed the options between CV and SG. You're spot on in my books about...

Had the opportunity at a Magnolia Residence 2 vs Saratoga Residence 1. I liked the Magnolia home more, other than concern with proximity to the freeway + price. I mean the home itself is "larger" than a 4 bd in Saratoga, but with the prices as high as they were for Magnolia 860 ish. I ended up...

Drama  :D More than anything to keep posted on the local market, learn from other people's experience. Contribute with my own experience.. or lack thereof

16k at Saratoga as well. California room 11k ish?

HOMER are you finally coming out to 24? Or is there a better spot?

I think the question might be in relation to appreciation. Of course if both the attached and detached similar homes cost the same, of course no one would willingly pay to share a wall and have higher HOA fees, however if buying an attached condo that is more likely to appreciate say 50% vs a...

Some really good information in here. Appreciate all your feedback. Sure is funny how many people in Saratoga are on this forum. I think as far as upgrades for me, I'm debating on whether or not to do the insulation, the surround sound prewire (I'm switching to hardwood/laminate after COE, I...

Thought I would share my experience also. Just signed the contract on a phase one yesterday. Of course I'm happy, but at the same time the reality that I am paying nearly 50k more for a house that I wanted to buy back in November. Same situation as songkou... Went in November and really liked...

Just dropped out of the home. And the search continues.

Cubic- what areas do you recommend? I'm interested in newer homes, 2000+ I'd say. I like Quail hill, especially if I could get my own driveway but I haven't been able to find much. Homer- I have a good idea who you might be, but I could possibly be off. Do you generally play Point?

Serissa models do not have a back yard. The driveway is in the back, side yard exists, but small. Enough for a bbq and a table with chairs perhaps.

@Homer - I purchased in Ainsley Park with my brother. I've been there about a year now and don't mind it so much other than my brother let's just say likes to really have a good time. Late nights, loud nights, uncomfortable really. I like the home itself, but sooner or later I had to get out and...

I feel like I'm in a really interesting scenario, maybe not so interesting however, as far as I know its just me and the girlfriend living in the home. It does not have a california court or california doors. I'm not married, not even close and no kids. Reason why I'm looking at Irvine and the...

Whoops, you're absolutely right. Northwood II...

Hey everyone, This is my first post, but been lurking around for the past couple months. I've been looking around for a home and it's been a crazy ride. I've been on the wait lists to Saratoga, San Mateo, Sienna, San Remo. Basically everywhere there were new homes being developed minus Portola...
