Do what's legally best to you and your family. It's a business decision, for goodness sake. I don't think taking the high moral ground will help to provide a better future for you or your family. Sometimes you just have to take your lumps, but if I had a choice between being hit on the...

<p>Here is my <unbiased> opinion coming from a Stanford Grad...</p> <p>You'll work much harder at a top UC like Cal or UCLA that's for sure...however, in school and in life, it's not always how hard you work but how smartly you're working.</p> <p>Not sure if it means anything, but when you...

Nude: yeap, i was thinking about that commercial! Sd2oc: would landlords provide their credit report and financial statements to tenants? I've never heard of this happening. I was going to rent a house, and the realtor wanted to run a credit check on both me and my wife, and would...

I think the main point that I get from this is...because there are so many bad apples out there to rent from, how can I prospective tenant without access to up to date liens/title history/etc. of the home/homeowner make a good decision on the homes for rent out there. It's not like the...

<p>Jeez...</p> <p>436/month HOA and 6,300/year Mello Roos...that's almost 1000/month on top of your mortgage and property tax.</p> <p>Does HOA already cover your home owner's hazard/etc. insurance, or do you still need to go buy your own?</p>

So basically, if I'm hearing correctly, is that if you bought in Tustin Fields brand new in 2005/2006, you're now screwed if you need to sell. There are some mighty big houses in there, although my wife didn't like the looks of the homes or neighborhood.

Just popped onto Redfin recently and whoa...so many houses listed for sale in such a tiny community and most within the last month or 2! Plus, many of the homes are listed at prices that are considerably less than their purchase price a year or two ago, when home prices peaked. Some homes...

Not to sound rude or anything, but how about let them play and be with other kids for a while. I'm thinking there will be plenty of time in the rest of their school life to drink from the fountain of knowledge, but you're only an innocent kid once. Like IPO, I didn't know nuthin' about...

<p>My wife and I sold our albatross of a condo in Tustin Ranch in July, 2007 and received a grand total of 6.5k back from escrow...basically lost 45k in a little over 2 years of ownership and we feel so lucky to not have lost more. Took the 6.5k + savings of 12k and decided to pay off the car to...

Thanks for the information. Not sure if it's that re-assuring to get promises for new middle and high schools sometime in the future. If they are closing down Tustin High and all the students there go to the new high school, well that's great for the current Tustin people who gets a new...

Hi everyone, I've often wondered when I was touring Columbus Square...Why doesn't any of the houses here feed into Beckman High? Presumably, it is in 92782, and for that amount of money that some of the models are going for + high Mello Roos, you would expect that your kids can go to brand...

Dude...I was in the exact same situation. We sold our condo in Tustin Ranch in July, 2007 (dodged a bullet there) and moved in with my in-laws in Garden Grove to save some moola and to help my in-laws out, and they were also babysitting our little boy. It was a mistake! We thought...

Okay...I'll bite. I'll pay 700k for the Lantana 2 homes that don't back to the cement plant given the following requirements: 1. Interest rates are 6.0-6.5% for a fixed 30 year loan 2. Some lender will give me 90% financing. 2. It has premium high quality hardwood and upgraded...

Once you get into an elite college, it's as easy as heck to pass all your classes and graduate. I mean, you have to be extremely smart, bored and unmotivated not to graduate . That's because those elite colleges try to cull from the best, and the students have already self-selected to succeed by...

This is an interesting discussion, and thanks for everyone's contributions. One thing I still don't understand is why everyone is so hung up on API scores, or whether Uni high is "better" than the other high schools in the area, but probably because of the "fear factor", many parents...

Thanks for your post POIT Guy... We visited Woodbury last week and looked at Villa Rosa. For 1 million dollars, I expected more...space, better layout, yard, maybe even a live in butler and nanny services for a year. Prior to that, we visited Portola Springs and didn't like anything there...

<p>Roo: My wife and I bought our first home (condo) in 2005, and sold it in 2007. We had a new baby, saw the handwriting on the wall, and hit the eject button while it was still functional. Now we live with my wife's parents in order to save money to buy our bigger home. Things definitely didn't...

<p>Hi Code7700,</p> <p>My wife and I were in your exact shoes. We bought a condo in 2005 for 450k in Tustin Ranch (our first home...gotta get on the wagon before we were priced out FOREVER!), and had a small amount of equity in the house. It was fun to "play house" for a while doing upgrades...

And I thought me and my wife were the only ones getting nightly entertainment by flipping through Redfin and ZipRealty! We must have "seen" every SFR property listed in Northwood, Northpark/Square, Woodbridge and West Irvine many times over on these 2 sites...and I swear, some of those realtors...

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm curious...for all the doom and gloom about real estate, and even with the slowdown in sales and the OC Register report that sales are down approximately 33% YoY in August, there are some homes that are still selling.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I'm interested in knowing...
