This. Rent a house and get to know the city and the vibe of each neighborhood.  It sucks to move often but better than making a poorly informed decision.

If all someone cares about is flipping a house, then the jail might or might not matter.  Nobody knows what the market will do or how potential buyers will react to the pros and cons of a location.  People like to generalize based on their own personal bias, so everything written here needs to...

No, if you have access to a community pool.  Yes, if you don't.

So, I finally took a look at the Big SFRs at Baker Ranch to get a feel for the Toll Bros product.  Wow, beautiful homes and unique layouts.  Color me impressed.  Felt much bigger than the stated ~3000 sq ft.  I would buy one of these if it was offered in Orchard Hills.  Of course, they would be...

Why would you give a pass to them just cuz they're kids?  I don't understand your statement at all.  At what age is it not ok to vandalize property and "let it go"?  People pay HOA dues to use community amenities.  I hope the vandals are found and charged to the fullest extent of the law. ...

How do you know the vandals are from the low income housing?  Unless you know definitively and have proof, then it could be renters from a homeowner or apt, or a homeowner's punk kid and his friends.  Or someone out of the community.

I'm also a big believer of not changing names.  It is confusing.  I also think gasman should change to irvinegasman or biddingonahomegasman. :) Also, fake IHO your posts are starting get pretty douchy and abrasive.  Just saying.  But you obviously don't care.  At this point we should stop...

I also make phantom bids on occasion.

What bid are you referring to?

Wow, this is not what a BB is about.  Lord knows I've had my run-ins with IHS and disagree with him on numerous issues, but to outright accuse him of lying and fabricating a story and letter is distasteful.  This thread should be nuked as well as the original IHS thread about his daughter. ...

USC, your father must be very proud of you.  Well done.  Great post and thanks for sharing.

Since everyone has different levels of disposable income, a set ceiling for a vehicle is irrelevant.  Like USC says, leasing only makes sense if you don't drive a lot.  Also, some ppl really enjoy driving and tracking their car, so it's entertainment dollar also, not just to get from point a to...

They do.  It's all about the time stamp.  Cash vs financed makes no difference.  But, there can't be that many buyers at that price level.  For example, I think there are about 150 ppl on prequal list for Cappella vs about 50 for Saviero.  But who knows, TNHC homes always have about 4 times the...

You're right of course.  I know nothing about hi end real estate.  My opinions couldn't possibly be because of personal preference and knowing different people value different elements in a home.  People should just bow down and take your word as gospel since you know everything and are most...

I read your cut and paste before on the La Vita thread.  Not sure if you're being sarcastic about the motorcourt.  The motorcourt sucks and will cause parking issues on the street for owners and guests.  And are you talking about the view...into the apartments below?  I do like the floor plans...

I think we're all in agreement that all the homes on the gated side of OH are overpriced.  But for those of you who looked at most/all of them, which builder or more specifically which plan did you like best for the price.  Not talking grandest, most luxurious, cuz Trevi wins on that criteria...

I wasn't invited to preview these and not sure if they had a preview.  I did not go thru prequal for those.  I'll go look at these today along with all the other minions.  I know ppl are down on KB and justifiably so based on their rep, but I'm intrigued with the floor plans.  Actually, I'm...

Be careful with a built in wine cooler.  They look nice but if you have any type if aspiration of keeping great bottles for years, they are prone to fail.  This is not just built ins but all wine cabinets.  It's a matter of when not if the condenser will fail on a wine cabinet.  They aren't made...

I saw these on Thurs along with TNHC homes.  La Vita was a virtual ghost town compared to the throngs of ppl at TNHC.  The floor plans are nice.  But the motorcourt kills it.  Who the hell would pay that kinda money for a motorcourt?!  Epic fail on the motorcourt design.  Also, great views off...

Are Hidden Canyon starting in the mid to high 2MM?  The Trevi homes will be ~$3MM and up all in.
