justin, sounds like a good idea. just make sure you find a legitimate owner/landlord... not one that's about to hit foreclosure which might mean you'd have to move again!

<p>justin, what do u consider cheap? if you decide on an IAC apt, find someone who is already living there and see if they'll split the referral bonus with you ($200-$400). the apt we're in has $1000 move in, plus $400 referral bonus.</p>

<p>the BofA no fees loan was actually the one that we were going to go with (before we decided to wait it out). the orig rate they gave us was a little over 6%. i told them that wells fargo was offering high 5's (with fees) and BofA countered with a flat rate of 6% and no fees. so even tho...

<p>if your income genuinely qualifies for the affordable housing program, then congratulations on being selected! i hope it all goes well for you. your previous post made it sound like you were doing well financially, but were tinkering your numbers so that you could take advantage of buying a...

<p>if the couple was threatening the guests with a gun...then continued to point it at the cops... then i rather the cops take them down than to have a virginia tech at the montage. </p>

<p>BTW.. if you find an apartment in irvine, check to see if it's listed on rent.com and mynewplace.com. if you list them as the referrer on the guest card, they will send you $100 referral commission. mynewplace i believe offers $125, but i accidentally put rent.com instead. i got my $100...

<p>roundcorners...</p> <p>what you're trying to do sounds kinda shady. putting *half* of your actual income so that you would qualify for a lower income bracket? theyre not gonna do liar loans, so you're going to have to pony up tax returns and all that. or do you lie on those too? </p>

<p>oh it's actually AXSUUL that's looking for a place.......i was just trying to help!</p>

<p>One of the most eye-rolling worthy... My mom's HOA threatened legal action when her lawn had not been mown in about 3 weeks and a few blades of grass trickled over the curb. "Fix it or see you in court!!!" </p>

<p>I dont think people necessarily *want* to grow out of their house... it's just that most people starting out, cant afford the three or four bedroom house. </p> <p>And even if they could... if its just a couple, maybe they don't like the idea of buying a big ol' house when they're really...

<p>axsuul, you can also go on campus. gosh its only been two years and i forgot what the main bldg is called! the one with the cashier! anyway, they have a little department where landlords can post rental listings... either rooms for rent, apts for rent, or you can post your name if you're...

<p>back in 2001, IAC said they would offer a "discount" renewal rate if you live in the apartment for more than two years. i wonder if they decided to discontinue this program..damn irvine company!</p> <p>"The Irvine Company Apartment Communities’ Resident Appreciation Program will...

<p>So at first glance... 507k seems pretty good for 1300sqft</p> <p>but after calculating the Tax + Mello Roos + SubHOA + MasterHOA, it comes out to an extra $1146/month BEFORE mortgage. good lord!! that's a lot of shopping i could be doing.......</p>

<p>i second eek's comment about the mongolian place, mad wolf! we go there for lunch all the time. a little hole in the wall, not the prettiest on the inside, but goooood food. its about 8 bucks for all you can eat. or you can get one big bowl for like 6 bucks.</p> <p>yummm.</p>

<p>hbunny, have her look into affordable housing in brea. based on her situation (lower income + 3 kids), they might move her to the top of the list. </p> <p>http://www.ci.brea.ca.us/article.cfm?id=1130</p>

<p>oh mino, you better believe it! </p> <p>this one condo community we had seriously considered buying.. in the sales contract, it stated that we had to contribute an additional and nonrefundable $700 into their HOA reserves...on top of the $225/mo HOA we'd have to pay. and this was for a...

<p>we were actively looking for a place a few months ago but have since decided to wait it out. but there were a few properties back then that i actually liked. some of which have since been taken off the market. is there a way for consumers (non RE agents, etc) to find out how much it sold...

Irvine Wanna Be, have you tried networking sites such as linkedin.com? It's a way to share corporate connections with your friends or friends of friends. e.g. if I add my connection at Google, my colleagues can see that I know someone at Google and I can refer them. Or the recruiters on my...

agree with IrvineRenter... IAC has raised the lease-break fee to $2500.

<p>with irvine co. apts, they pretty much fix anything and everything. they'd even replace light bulbs that went out, at no charge to the tenant. </p> <p>i think the guideline is that if something breaks and it belongs to the 'house' then it would be the landlord's responsiblity. e.g...
