<p>NIR,</p> <p>It's not that Korean children don't want to go back, but rather they cannot go back. The speed at which Korean education system teaches their kids is extremely high in comparison to here, and they cannot catch up to those kids in terms of materials once they return back to their...

<p>NIR,</p> <p>Those talented people who work here have their housing paid by their employers. I doubt they will complain about housing being too high. I know that Samsung has plenty of people working in LA and Orange County who came from Korea, who have their housing, transportation (company...

Are my eyes deceiving me or have the IAC apartment rates gone up in the last month or so? How are the occupancy rates doing in IAC?

<p>I think you might have answered your own question tourbillon. They are rich. Taxes or not, they want the best for themselves and/or their children, and cost premiums are justified when education and environment provide a safe atmosphere they feel good about when they go to sleep at night.</p>...

<p>Keep on posting bkshopr. Everytime I read of your posts, the more I look forward to your next one. Being an Asian, but having grown up in OC my entire life and knowing very little of any of this, I find it fascinating. </p>

<p>The rule of thumb at a Korean BBQ: Cook the marinated meat after you have finished eating the non-marinated meat. The marination will stick to your grill and burn, leaving charred residue on your meat.</p>

<p>Who is innocent and who isn't? How do we make that determination? What criterias are used to determine if one deserves bailing out while the other does not? </p> <p>The only fair and just system I know of is to let the market determine who should survive and who should fall. I personally...

I once asked my mechanic if the costs of maintenance on the new Audi A4 was very high. He replied, "If you have to ask how expensive the maintenance will be, you probably cannot and should not buy that car". If you are unsure of the costs associated with the biggest purchase in your life...

<p>Here is my scenario.</p> <p>My realtor friend once showed me a property he thought I should consider purchasing. After putting down 10% on that 500k condo, we would still be paying out $3700 a month in dues including HOA, Sub HOA, Mello, and what else that the house will eat up on. Granted...

<p>All sarcasm aside, I am getting married this fall and my fiancee and I are looking for a place to live. I have a realtor friend who sings the tune "When you pay rent, you make someone else rich and save no money for the future". So a week ago, I got fed up with his gibberish and sent him the...

<p>I am not well versed in the art of Feng Shui, but I have never in my life seen the interior color of a home being so dominant. I can only speak for Korea and Japan, but none of those homes have a dominant color like this. Mostly, they are cream or white, and they are either painted on or...

<p>I grew up with Kermit the Frog on TV, but doesn't mean I had the same taste as Ms. Piggy. Thanks for the clarification. </p> <p>I guess the only justification for someone buying a green colored wall is the following: they bought a place with no front yard, backyard, or any yard for that...

<p>You get tax write-offs on the interest you pay. </p> <p>Everyone's gotta live somewhere.</p> <p>We're running out of land in Orange County.</p> <p>Everyone wants to live here.</p> <p>Home prices never decline.</p> <p>I guess those are all the good reasons why a home is a good...

<p>As an asian myself, this must be the most hideous interior wall color I have ever seen. And not just any ol'green.... it had to be lime green. </p>

How are the rental rates in Irvine doing these days? Any signs of the rates dropping from IAC? I've been looking around, and I haven't noticed much myself, but wondering if anyone else noticed anything I might have missed.

<p>I just found strange that someone who proclaims to have such "wealth" sounds off being extremely insecure. I don't understand why he/she feels the need to defend his "wealth" with such vigor. My gut feeling tells me Agent X either owns one of the TR properties IR has posted on his blog, or is...

<p>Is there a shortage of apartment units in IAC currently? I thought I remember reading somewhere that demand/occupancy rates for IAC have been steadily dropping as of late. I am looking for an apartment to rent in October/November of this year and been wondering if the rates will remain steady...

Is there a place where I can read up on how the bond market works?
