    Homeowner's Insurance - anyone successfully insure a condo?

    Arent you better off getting umbrella insurance instead of an LLC? Unless you have many rental properties or a big unit where umbrella wouldn’t be able to cover

    New communities in Portola Springs

    I’ve mentioned it before but shea isn’t about maximizing profits but rather focus on selling a great product. They did the same for Teresina.

    6% commission

    This change makes it more difficult for first time buyers to purchase a house. Sellers are the ones benefiting most from this.

    Fresco in the Reserve at Orchard Hills

    Honestly it doesn’t matter what builder it is. All local areas share the same contractors. For example, TrueAir is used in Serrano Summit & Teresina & maybe even meadows. What is key is the Construction Manager for the builder & also a good inspector to catch things before closing. I heard so...

    Happiest Cities in America (2024)

    That’s not necessarily true. Rich people have more stress and arguably at times not as happy as their counterparts. Ever heard the term “more money, more problems”? You can throw money at a lot of things. But I would argue the things where you cannot throw money at are more important. For...

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but people in their 20s-30s are not the ones living in these 2.5m+ communities in Irvine. Unless your family is loaded with money which is possible, most of these buyers are FCB investment homes or people that are move up buyers that gained equity from their...

    Making $150K is considered 'lower middle class' in these high-cost US cities

    Ouch. The currency conversion is rough. I know a family that works in Macau and sends money to his family in Hawaii. MOP -> USD conversion is rough as well.

    Luna Park in Great Park Neighborhood

    There are 750k new condos in Irvine? Maybe for low income, but it's an entire lengthy process within itself. There are also new constructions in other areas as well without MR and a reasonable HOA. As @irviniteeee mentioned, one needs to evaluate the entire cost of ownership and not only the...

    A lot of people do it and it’s more common than one thinks. None of them really get caught.

    I think it's a given that you can get in trouble in any school district for doing it, not only Irvine. But whether or not it's enforced and to what degree is a different discussion. At this rate, we have a population decline and they will soon be asking for kids to come at some point. And...
