It wasn't just residents in Meadows that were hoping for the school a ton of people in Baker Ranch were also holding their breath for this school that never had a chance....

Can second this.... I closed on a purchase in Irvine a few months ago and put all my energy on getting the lowest possible rate and didn't foresee it being so difficult to get insurance. I reached out to every broker and agent I could find and thought I finally had a firm quote only for them to...

I said in my example if you only stay in your home 5 years it might be cheaper to finance the upgrades through builder

for double the price the argument can be made its worth it to do it through the builder considering you are only putting 20% down on the cost of the upgrade and will probably never pay off the mortgage/home..... IE if you only stay in your home 5 years then it might be cheaper to actually just...

I remember when the orchard hills started selling Vita for around 1.5m and it seemed crazy someone would pay that to live in what seemed like a motorcourt...

just because they all have a certain type of name doesnt mean they are FCB.... but to your point point there is probably a disproportionate amount of FCB in orchard hills compared to other communities because they like new builds

We all like to blame FCB's for our market woes but does anyone have an idea how many homes they're actually buying in this market? I think it's much less than we think... for example a few home in my neighborhood were sold for cash and we all assumed it was FCB but it turned out to be local...

I've been reading alot of news headlines about 7-8% rates and was expecting the worst but when I finally buttoned down and started shopping rates it wasn't that hard to find loans in the low 6's, just a heads up.

I've owned 3 panameras because they check the most boxes out of any car on the market for me.  Drives well, fits a family, comfortable but sporty when you want it to be... they make them in enough trims and options where you can make it sportier or softer depending on what you are looking for. 

Don't be scared of the landlord, the law will side with the tenant in most reasonable cases.  If she wants to be difficult then it's pretty easy for you to send a list of repairs that need to be looked at ASAP for safety reasons that she cant ignore.  Do you smell leaking gas around the house? ...

This depends largely on where you are acquiring the property... tenant rights vary greatly depending on the city and state.  If you are unfamiliar with an area it's a good idea to hire a property manager initially to help you navigate the local market. If you don't want to use a property...

if you're looking to do any significant additions to your yard (bbq, water features, etc) I would go through a GC.... they will be familiar with the Irvine regulations and be able to design your yard properly.

lol wish i had read this before i decided to try this at night... but at least you can definitely tell its real tea from the tongue numbness.

Just went tonight at 8:30, closes at 9.  There was a line about 12 people deep... but moved pretty fast got my drink by like 8:45.  My first time trying it and can confirm the quality of the tea is very good compared to most run of the mill boba shops but if this is what the line looks like on...

That actually isn't too bad for a builder option... when you consider most people only pay 20-25% down and stay in their home avg of 7-8 years you are actually coming out ahead by doing it through the builder vs paying full price in cash after close.  Of course if you are looking to stay in your...

View lot and big lots all sound great... I just hope buyers also realize how much money it costs to properly design and build a nice backyard with all that extra space.  It can be easy to get away going cheap on the yard when your yard is small with no view but with a larger yard and a view...

Another tip if you're trying to boba/milktea delivery try using Fantuan instead of the silicon valley apps.. its made with chinese/asian restaurants in mind so is accepted by more of the mom and pop asian restaurants and often has promotions which make it a lot cheaper than the doordash/etc apps....

I feel like there's a lot of articles showing California losing more population every year but what they fail to show is that California's net population is still increasing every year primarily due to immigration.  A lot of that immigration is coming from Asia so I only see California becoming...

Also wanted to pitch in my 2 cents... I have used Martin multiple times to help w real estate transactions ranging from buying, selling, leasing, recommendations for contractors, lenders, etc and he has always been willing to help and answer any questions I might have even if the transaction...

Sorry to hear that, my condolences to you and your family.
