Here is a <a href="http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1382176">30% loss in Cerritos</a> if it sells for asking price not including commission. Prices for homes that feed into Cerritos HS (like this one) have not come down much yet. Maybe this can provide a nice low...

I'd love to be that landlord if that happens...get paid the remainder of the lease AND get to rent it out to a new tenant. Score!!!

wantobuynow, I hope you will offer the builder less than their asking price. We've seen on this forum some who have tried to low-ball and while they have not necessarily been successful, it was clear that the builder was willing to go lower than their asking price and incentives...

Check your lease for an early termination clause. If you are honest with your landlord (private landlord?) and give them as much advance notice as possible, they can look for a replacement tenant. You can also look for a replacement tenant, but he/she/they must meet your landord's requirements...

Stop buying crap from Target that I don't really need. And...purge the house of the crap from Target that I already bought but we don't really need. Happy New Year everyone!

Graphix, I am very aware of some of the problems at these schools and Kodiak street. IMO, many high schools will always have problems because of the age of the kids, regardless of location. Villa Park HS and Sunny Hills have reputations that people pay for when buying houses. As an...

The Fullerton house on Michael is right around the corner from the one Cayci profiled a while ago on Wayne. Both schools feed into excellent schools including Sunny Hills High, which is similar in demographics to Irvine. The prices on these Fullerton homes have me rethinking my plans on a...

Most earthquakes we experience do little to no damage...just a little swaying. Earthquake insurance is costly and there is a huge deductible but we have it nonetheless because it's only a matter of when "The Big One" will come and not if. Also, we "earthquake proof" all of our tall...

Yikes! Doesn't sound like it would be too safe for me to go to 5th and Wall (I assume that is the infamous Skid Row you always hear about?) At least you have a gun

Trooper, What do you mean they game the system? How so? You never hear about that of course, from the MSM, and I always like to hear things from perspective of those working in the trenches so to speak.

The elementary school that Riverbend schools feed into is also sucky at best... Jbatz, were the Lennar protesters there?

My cell phone is my watch. It even has an alarm I can set :-)

jbatz, There are always protesters outside the new homes at The Riverbend at Orange (off Glassell near 91 freeway). They have a big "Beware Lennar" sign up. Come to think of it, I have seen this "Beware Lennar" sign a couple of times throughout the years at Lennar complexes. You...

Yeah...the thread where the guy was asking about walking out on his mortgage scared me a bit. Lots of people were recommending that he apply for a rental now while his credit is still good. That means landlords are going to have to watch out for that and do the kind of detective work you're...

XSocal, I agree with your sentiments. My rental is becoming vacant this week and I worry that someone will apply before walking away from a mortgage while their credit is still good. Once their credit is shot, what's to stop them from being late on payments, breaking a lease...

ISM, Haven't you heard? <a href="http://76design.com/shiftcontrol/index.php/2006/06/15/40-is-the-new-30/">40 is the new 30</a>!

blackacre, I'm not sure about that. My guess is that for non ER visits, you must be a Kaiser member (unless you bring cash perhaps). Of course the ER has to accept anyone regardless of insurance, but you or your insurance will be billed.

If your company offers it or you get independent insurance, Kaiser has been very good to us. They are opening a new hospital in Irvine off Sand Canyon. We have received great care from primary care doctors and specialists. Urgent care services or same day are also great. The urgent care off Sand...
