I like it because of the food options, lack of pretension and convenience. Great bar scene at the Italian spot that replaced Peppino's, and Uoko is authentic Japanese food that has been there since the 80s. El Toro Meat Market is a nice option as well. Big fan of LF.

looks like big fire risk there - potentially uninsurable. My buddy in Talega just got cancelled while paying $10K/yr due to fire risk of the open areas near his house after he made a big water damage claim, and now can't get any insurance. He's also researching whether his loan gets called if he...

Do you own the land in your condo?

El Toro High is actually competitive academically and LF in general has seen a demographic upgrade as Irvine pricing has risen. The key is to pay some $$$ and get a private college counselor engaged freshman year. Your kid will get in to more good colleges if they shine at ET vs an Irvine school...

Skip Great Greek and go straight to Greek Islands in the food court on Main/Von Karman - still there 20 yrs after we left and it's the best greek/middle eastern food I ever found in OC. https://www.greekislandscuisine.com/view-our-menu

You're better off taking the airport bus to the Stateline casinos (I usually stay at Harrah's so I walk right next door to the Heavenly Gondola) than driving which is dicey when there's lots of snow, which is the only time I go. I 10x prefer Mammoth however, and look forward to being able to...

Shops at MV is actually pretty nice. The revamped Valley Fair up here + Santana Row are nicer than anything in OC. Sadly that's about the only interesting things up here other than high paying jobs and Tahoe. Can't wait to get back to South OC.

congrats. Curious though - no other backup offers at or over list came in during that contingency period? Would you say this represents peak pricing for a condo in this market?

be careful - friends that live in Talega pay >$10K/yr for insurance for this very reason

I'd love to see voting statistics on the 2% that pay 50% of the state income taxes

The old OCR columnist Lansner has a column in the SJ Merc News every Sunday and he recently concluded his analysis of the best states to target if leaving CA: NH and MN. I have ties to both and I love winter sports. NH is more expensive but no income or sales tax and nice beaches. MN is a great...

It was for CalBruin. what questions? And no, you haven't enumerated Trump's dictatorial acts. I look forward to it!

First, thanks for being willing to debate. You are the undisupted most knowledgeable person here on Irvine RE. Your inventory call was one for the ages. You really need to re-exanine your understanding of how the Powell Fed operates as it's very differnt from the Yellen or Bernanke Fed - miles...

At least I'm not posting on a message board at 1:15am. But ok smart guy, seeing as how you suck at debate please enumerate Trump's dicatorial acts. Meanwhile let's examine Biden's record - Multiple investigations of Elon Musk by various federal agencies after also not inviting him to the EV...

seriously? You nust listen to guys like Kiyosaki or crypto podcasts. Try listening to something a little more informed like the All In podcast. avg int rate on the debt is still under 3%. Medicare and SS will get means testing implemented and retirement age raised, likely by Trump as a lame duck...

You guys really aren't that ignorant, are you?

Dude - why are banks going to magically compress spreads that are already 250bps over the 10 yr right now for the best borrowers? 4% rates were before SVB went belly up over duration risk from low interest jumbo mortgages. I know a CRE license carries no fiduciary reqs but you're doing your...

You mean one can live in Artesia or Norwalk and send your kid to Whitney? What a edu-hack!

what many here fail to comprehend is Powell is ok with money going into the market as that doesn't impact inflation but rising housing prices do. Expect spreads to stay where they're at or even widen as the dot plot starts to play out. I don't see rates going below 5.5% ayt t he very lowest ever...

for sure, but the political damage is already fait accompli - as is unfortunately the human toll of bad judgement including a Biden grandchild born from a prositution encounter and funded by Biden corruption
