    Irvine Housing Dreams ? Part 3

    I haven't been posting long, but I've been lurking for a while, and there is something I want to say. Let me start out by saying that I live in Irvine, and I like it, but it's just the city where I live. I don't worship anything about Irvine. I could live in another city and be just as happy...

    Interesting phone call from our leasing office

    In some IAC complexes at least, certain children's activities like biking and scooter-riding are prohibited. It's a liability issue for the apartment complex. If a kid's riding his bike and darts around a corner and gets hit by a car, the complex could get sued. I may be in the minority...

    Apartments without carpeting?

    Have you considered renting a private condo or home rather than an apartment without carpet? You might have better luck with one of those, since most apartments seem to be carpeted.

    Very $$$ Homes - All Cash?

    I've read that really rich people buy houses for all cash instead of financing them. Does anyone know what the cut-off is in terms of home price for doing this? Obviously it would depend on the buyer, but probably people buying $5 million homes just cash them, right? Like Jennifer Aniston, for...

    IAC? YUCK!

    IAC complexes really vary a lot. Some of them, esp near UCI, will have a lot of students so you obviously don't want that. Also, some of them have "affordable housing" so you'd probably want to skip those as well. IAC has a central renting center (I don't remember exactly what it's called, but I...

    When, if ever, would you feel like a loser for being a renter?

    So I went to an open house today...

    I believe it was an investment company doing the flip, if that matters. The Testa Group, or something like that.

    So I went to an open house today...

    10 Aberdeen, in Northwood. Apparently it was a foreclosure that sold for $625k in May. It came back on the market yesterday at $779,990. It's been all renovated and looks pretty nice (although a little over the top for my taste). We were there for maybe 15 minutes, and we probably saw 5...

    Real Housewives of OC update

    Grammatical mistakes, misspellings, improper usage of capitalization and apostrophes...Jeana's letter really makes her look like an idiot. It bothers me psychologically that somebody so stupid was ever allowed to live in a house allegedly worth $5 million.
