Because rents were way too low and they have gone up alot. But YOU said I should have rented. I knew that was a very bad idea. Lets see. Lock in a high rent for a year or more till my house is built. Move into an old place with old A/C which will cost me at least double what I pay with my new...

I have a regret. I should have bought the model. Then I wouldn't have to get a pool installed after escrow. I have another regret. I probably could have gotten more from my legacy sale but in the end, the people who bought my place will be paying $33K in property taxes and won't be able to...

Exactly. The government will always be there to bail you out. How much more debt is the US going to take on with higher and higher servicing costs? I don't know. I HATE debt. I know I could have made a lot leveraging my house, buying rentals, etc. But no debt (cars, house, school etc) means no...

I think they have big fees when they buy something. (more than if you just went to a regular agent and then there is the commish they makes selling). Still losing on every property and having carrying costs seems to be not such a good thing. LOL! At least in AZ their carrying costs are MUCH...

You are short goog? Good chance it closes at $100 with it being options exp day.

There is the problem. If they cut, then you will see buying again and once again they will be in the same situation we were in back in the 70's. It took THREE recessions and over a decade to get things under control. Then of course they cut from that mega rate they had and that led to the stock...

Someone could buy them out I guess for the properties they own. Interesting that redfin is the agent selling some of their properties. This is what they own in JUST maricopa county: https://mcassessor.maricopa.gov/mcs/?q=opendoor I just don't understand why they didn't learn from zillow. They...

I don't believe a 7% mortgage is enough to get people not to buy where I am. As long as there is not excessive other payments, a couple earning $100K (between both of them which is not that difficult here) can qualify for a 2000 sq foot new 4 bedroom single story home in a nice neighborhood...

In the 70's the government laid off a lot of people and cut spending. They cut space programs, aerospace and lots of social programs. If the government is serious about cutting inflation it's time THEY cut spending and laid off people. Have we heard of one single person being cut in the...

Obviously I am not USC but houses will be back to where they were in January soon enough. Some areas already are. Oil is back to January levels. In fact back to where it was in October 2021 (prices went down and then back up between Oct 21 and Jan 22. Come January, what inflation is there in...

Someone in the neighborhood refinished a china cabinet, kept the buffet, put a base on the upper portion and sold that. It looked awesome so I joined some facebook groups to see how to do that (my daughter has some old furniture their neighbor left them when he moved recently). The groups are...

If the 52 week doesn't hold, I'm looking at 2900-3400 on the sp. If everyone didn't pile into tesla and appl, the sp500 would have already broke that low imo

The signs in Irvine are brown, not green.

This was on Nextdoor. Mailman robbed by gunpoint in greentree around 11:10am this morning. Two male hispanics pulled up in a car one got out with a gun pointed at mailman and demanded his bag of mail keys and phone. Mailman is safe and ok but watch out people? Irvine PD was already on scene...

Raising rates is not going to dampen consumer spending as it did in the 70's. At that time there was no government handouts. It was shameful to be on welfare and you'd do anything to avoid it. There was not as many two income households so if things were tight u HAD to cut back. Credit...

Didn't we sell the Reserves to China?

The price of gas got down to 3.59 here and stayed there for weeks. Tustin finally started dropping but we stayed steady. Suddenly the price here zipped up to 3.84 with the next nearest costco 3.96. When it started to rise, I thought it was just costco and sams club finally realizing they could...

I was at the pool a couple days ago and got to talking with some other people there. First thing that comes up is always where are you from (Cali, Oregon and WA state in this group). Next thing is weather, then do we like it here. Everyone says LOVE it (not the heat but everything else). Lastly...

It wasn't always like that. In fact now it's hard to buy ANY starter home in the OC after college. The link was to a 1 bedroom 500 sq foot condo in Tustin Ranch, not a house in Irvine. Wait a decade when u find out young professionals moved to other states and u say wait....... we need them.

If I was younger and worked hard to get that $100K saved up, I would take a good long look. Should I spend 1/3 of my money on a one bedroom 32 year old condo in not Irvine along with all the other taxes I owe and maybe student loan payments and car payments or should I hold my nose and move...
