    Bi-weekly payment program

    You can make one extra payment or you can opt to just pay them more each month (with the amount in excess being applied to principal). As long as you don't have any prepayment penalty.  Just call the bank and confirm.

    Why should AMC care. They are still getting paid (in fact, probably making more on tickets cause more people are going to the movies).  Add in the concession profits and it seems like a win-win (at least short-term).  I more question the viability of the 3rd party.  Is that "data" really worth...

    Portola Springs Neighborhood 5A

    Eldberry started @ 1.3M?

    Older Irvine Village Values

    The actual location is also quite nice (very centrally located, etc).

    The Oaks at Portola Hills

    Why is location terrible? Referring to Foothill Ranch / Portola Hills in general or the particular spot where these are built?  I know their is that other project across the way that appears to have deep pockets behind it.

    Why are investors looking at all?

    What is the KB project? Looked like a true SFR but wasn't certain if it was a Palo Alto clone or something different.

    Why are investors looking at all?

    Richmond American is building one set (on motorcourts) and the other I couldn't see who the builder was (someone probably already knows this). Was driving up there over the holiday weekend and they were working. Pools are already build out.  Looks like they are trying to open up.  These are kind...

    Eastwood Village Petaluma options

    Outside vendors are real pro's (as long as you find a solid one) and you can hire the builder's plumber to put the toilets back on (if you are concerned about leaks). That should prevent any voiding of the warranty.  The one area that might be useful to upgrade up-front would be the master...

    Base camp? Great Park - Any idea?

    The other one in Irvine isn't that far from Woodbury town center. I think they are just blowing smoke. That said, no, they aren't going to put a TJ's in the base camp though. Sprouts would be nice and far more feasible (given distance to one in Marketplace / Westpark areas).

    Montessori shcool Franchised?

    You don't necessarily have a public school option (neighborhood hood) to send them to though.  So I think regardless of whether it is a montessori or the local tutor time down the street, that challenge will exist (geography).

    What's coming in orchard hills shopping center?

    I saw somewhere that it was opening up in late June.

    Trump Tax Reform and Home Prices

    Still a lot of information missing to have a complete picture.

    Beacon Park Elementary School

    I'm okay with 60 minutes of HW on average (starting around 5th or 6th grade). Before that, I think a little less is good and I'm a believer in allowing kids time to do various activities, etc...cause those things help them develop other important skills.  The stories I hear of people with kids...

    5 Orange County restaurant closures include 3 in Irvine

    Lampost was overpriced, but the pizza was good. Never frequented it because price / good ratio wasn't there.  That said, the place had been there for ever...anyone that played youth sports in the Woodbridge area has had a pizza party (or 20) during their life.

    North Park House for Sale

    Plus this particular home backs up against the gate.  Small yard and really high fence is not a pro.

    Streets named after dead veterans

    Really touching story.

    Wells Fargo pre-qualfication at village of Irvine

    This is not necessarily true. Not all builders in Irvine require you to be pre-approved by their lender (some will allow an alternative lender...it might impact where you fit on the "priority" list though). Even Irvine Company will let you buy at times without (in this market, the only time they...

    Landscape company suggestion

    What good is that little pool.  I guess if you want one of those lap pools...but that has to be pretty "niche".

    New construction secured tax bill sent by IP

    I'd call Irvine Pacific.  I didn't think bills came from the builder, so maybe there is a new "fraud" out there. Probably not...but before I paid, I'd make sure it is a legit bill and you are comfortable with the amount you are paying.  Always a little awkward the first year in a new property...

    Where do most you non-FCBs go grocery shopping?

    I would not be happy with Albertson's / Sprouts merger. I like my Sprouts the way it is.
