I?d be ok with Tustin High, especially in 15+ years I expect it to improve. It?s more the elementary and middle schools that don?t look all that great when compared to some just a few miles away. It doesn?t matter what your grades are in elementary/middle so I?d want them to go to the best...

Has anyone worked with Provident Funding? Our broker likes to use  them and from what I?ve seen from advertised rates on other lenders? websites they are definitely low.

This is our main concern with getting a house near old town or Northwest part of Tustin. The schools are just not as good, it?s hard to describe without just listing test scores and such. I attended Tustin High for a year and other than playing baseball I didn?t like the school. It ain?t an...

The elementary school is the most important to us since in 15 years we may move or my parents may pass their house down to us if they want to retire up in Monterey or somewhere. They live in Tustin Ranch so Beckmann district. Is school district as big of a factor in resale as we?ve been led to...

What is your guys? opinion on Tustin, specifically near Tustin Ranch or Old Town. We?ve seen a few houses there that fit our budget and my parents like the old town area. I know nothing about that area except they are building those new townhomes right against the 5 that we didn?t like. Would...

This is exactly out thinking in moving up to a single family. Condos we were only looking at 2 BR. We initially didn?t think we?d be able to afford a single family. That was before we started to seriously talk with our broker and learned that rates are significantly better on a single family vs...

We have, but are being conservative and assuming a straight 10% down scenario with PMI when we look at pricing. We want to be on the high end going in with estimations so we arent surprised by too much. If we can do a 10/10/80 and get a similar rate we may want to go that way.

Thanks for the suggestions. Now we have a lot more houses to see. Already seen a ton of townhomes.

Thanks. I just did a quick search for something at the same price to show you. Comparing these two which one offers better value now and possibly appreciation...

The person we are working with is knowledgeable about Irvine, we just have not actually signed on to him as we are discussing commission, etc. for now we don?t want to ask for too much service as we may not go with them in the end as we have a friend also who is an Irvine agent.

To be honest we have no idea what type of floor plan or what makes a house desirable. Do you know of any examples of houses you?ve seen sold that are what you?d consider good/bad layouts? Would even much older homes appreciate better than a new condo? Let?s say a SFR built in 1920, but it has...

We've been lurking on here for a while and recently have been looking for a first home. We first started at resale townhomes, didn't like the value of the ones we could afford. Moved on to new townhomes and really like some of the options in Irvine/Tustin, but the high HOA/taxes make what might...
