For the sake of argument, let's say you have enough income to qualify for any mortgage. Scenario A: You have $2million in liquid assets and you decide to buy a $1.5million home. A) All-cash? Mortgage after closing? B) Mortgage at closing? What LTV? Scenario B: You already own a home worth...

I feel like Irvine has a ton of detached condo (and is building many more), but have never figured out how to filter for them on redfin. In fact, the detached/attached info on a condo listing is buried deep in the listing. I need a filter such as detached condos over 1,750sqft under $900k.
