    Homeowernship in CA

    @Liar Loan Is that $140k for 12 months, 10+ summer school, or 10 months only?

    President Trump

    A great deal of commerce and communication are both highly dependent on the use of satellites. Imagine the havoc if some of our GPS satellites went offline in a solar storm. The world is as dependent on satellites as it is on a functioning internet. (No, I'm not talking about Starlink, just...

    President Trump

    I'm guessing the DOGE cuts were planned as an offset to the BBB increases. DOGE cuts can still reach $1T if everything is implemented, but these nationwide injunctions have to wind their way to SCOTUS first. The Coppertone Caligula and Musk each have each other by the short and curly's here...

    Guess the buyer and the final price

    General Lyon passed away several years ago. Their inheritors likely just want to cash out. I'd offer $90m, then immediately sell the buildable 60 acre parcel off for $60m to Toll Bros making my net cost to buy $30m, a reasonable price for the remaining homes and site.

    Guess the buyer and the final price

    Who will the buyer be? My guess is a developer, given that a portion of the estate can be built out. Final price? $100m The Ziggurat in Laguna Niguel (80+ acres, but with a huge office building to demolish) went for $77m...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Do you believe the Party is aware of the funds needed to make this purchase, and how they were moved off shore? (I believe they do, but really don't care)

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    3/4 of the photos are of the outside. Christmas decorations on the fireplace and possibly also on the front door. You get all this service for the low, low commission cost of $250,000-$300,000 - if it sells at full price. Lazy agent. Lazy broker. A shame these actors are still allowed to work...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Only morons or money launderers pay full price on these high dollar homes.

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    Figure 6.5 to start, 25% down, then -.375 to -.50 depending upon relationship discounts, new cash to bank, and auto pay. A 10/1 or 7/1 starts around 6 and is a better way forward. A buyer isn't going to keep an ARM forever so why not start off at a better rate?

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Asking to ask as I am truly curious... What are some of the "many reasons" money is being parked?

    Fresco in the Reserve at Orchard Hills

    Yes, partial responsibility lies with the brokerage, but it's the realtors and their clients truly at fault. My guess is if Pinnacle and their agents ever went through a Fair Housing audit, several of their principals and agents would lose their licenses, given 99.99 percent of their client...

    It was also a clue on last night's Jeopardy Masters. Odd coincidence.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    I've had several "students" buy a home in Irvine with all of the down payment coming from the parents back when NINJA (No Income, No Job or Assets) loans were available. The foreign buyers wouldn't default on these loans, but the Americans would often jingle mail the property back to the...

    The IUSD education

    Unless your children want to become fluent in the sciences (engineering, medicine) college is to some extent useless. Success in business is more often a case of "who you know" not "what you know". Transferring in later to a name brand school is easier than being accepted right off the bat. With...

    President Trump

    Curious questions.... 1) Harris doesn't have a pardon. Why not ask her under oath who was running the government in 2023-2024 when Corn Pops was incapacitated? 2) Doesn't the White House have a tape recording system any longer like during the Nixon era? I'm sure there has to be some record of...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Why no crack down? Who would profit on it? Buyers? There are already more buyers who don't need any help to buy or sellers having any issues getting their property sold. Morally, yes, there should be an effort to stamp out money laundering, redlining, fair housing issues, birth tourism, and...

    President Trump

    True @someguy, the likelihood of Congress changing both plans is slim, without an R Supermajority. This is a thought exercise at best. The target however isn't 59.5 year olds, but 30-49 year olds who may have significant 401k's that will be taxed at some point, more likely than not, with great...
