House in mid-town LA. Renters stopped paying, so we evicted, and now we're fixing up the place. The property is a 2 bedroom/1 bath, 1450sqft detached home on a 6500 sqft lot. There is also a detached garage structure on the property. 1920's style home. My strong position is that we...

For the last four years, I've gone to the Knott's Kit Car show, which is the biggest show of it's kind in the West. Basically, this is where the biggest and best fabricators of kit cars get together to show their stuff. Fake Ferraris and Lamborghinis that are indistinguishable from the "real"...

I am liking this new site so much Zov! Thanks for the work that you put into this upgrade! --ISB

Okay, so say you're in my position. . . You're trying to advise some nice folks about what to do with some cash they've got laying around. Will they invest in stocks? No. Gold? No dice. The local real estate market in Orange County? They know it's not a good idea yet. They sold 2 biggies at the...

I've noticed certain trends in the year plus I've been on the IHB. 1. Newest user starts new thread about, "Uh, well, gee is it time to buy?" Reaction: Troll and/or TIC person. 2. Tread about Education gets started, it always turns into a discussion about Asians. Reaction...

PatientRenter rounded up some data and made a great graph showing some sales trends in two Irvine zips: 92604 and 92614. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd320/daraghos/200708.18Irvinehomepricehistory.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo...

The <strong><em>Why Would Someone Need to Buy</em>?</strong> thread has encouraged plenty of discussion about demographics and their relation to Irvine real estate (as well as beyond). The original topic of the post no longer seems to be discussed. (Zovall, what do you think of closing that...

I've read posts about how Irvine is not nearly built out, and that was contrary to my sort of "built in" thinking about how it must be because this high demand *must* mean that housing is getting scarce. Having lived in West LA for 5 years, and Mid-LA (Midwilshire then Hollywood) for 3, I know...

So, we have an Oak Creek 2/2.5 condo we're trying to rent out. I've been fielding the calls, and all were fairly straightforward bites except when the UCI college girl calls with interest. I tell that I'm not in the area, but that the next day, I could show it. When I call her, she has to...

Okay-- I agree that the market is going to tank and all of that. But we're going to buy something in Irvine in the next month, because we're got 1031 money from an LA home sale and we're ready to get something closer to our home in Orange County. The 1031 money will net us about 500k, and we're...
