    What type of subfloor do I have? Quail Hill - Ambridge

    I'd check your HOA rules before you put down any wood flooring. Some condo's require carpeting in areas above another person's living space. This is to deaden sound and help with the sound-proofing between floors. My friend's place in Yorba Linda was like this. They could not install wall to...

    Which high rise tower is most secure?

    Of all the high rise towers in the airport area, which is most secure? I know the Marquee has a manned gate guard at the entrance, but I'm not sure about the others. ( Plaza, Met, Watermarke, etc )

    Devil's Advocate thread: If you like Irvine, what parts about it do you dislike? and if you dislike Irvine, what do you like?

    To start it off, as an Irvine-phile there are still a few things I dislike: 1) Nothing?s open past 10pm. 2) Everytime someone gets pulled over, there are 2-3 cops there. (Do they not have anything else better to do?) 3) The fact that I?ve lived in my house for years now and...

    Devil's Advocate thread: If you like Irvine, what parts about it do you dislike? and if you dislike Irvine, what do you like?

    In any good debate, its always good to argue the other side to get a clear picture of your own. I figure it'd be interesting to see what'd come out of this.

    REOs will rise 50% in the next 4 months.

    Let's say all of these foreclosures hit the market today (all the P, A, B pins). At current sales rates, how long will it take for the market to absorb them all?

    South Torrance and West Torrance

    I was wondering if anyone had any information about these two areas regarding a detached 3-4 bedroom 1500+ sq ft home purchase. My friends wish to move there and I noticed that the prices there are even more outrageous than those here in Irvine. The older homes they are looking at are built in...

There are these homes off of Tustin Ave and Fairhaven in Santa Ana that have been leasing their land for around $43/month for the last 30 years that are in a big lawsuit with the land owners because the land lease payment is being raised to $2000/month...

    Can anyone recommend a good home inspector in Irvine?

    I searched the forums, but I didn't find anything regarding this topic. Basically, my friend is purchasing an older 1980's home and I told them to get a good inspection done. They asked if I knew anyone, and I couldn't. Does anyone here know a good home inspector in our about Irvine? Thanks...
