    If you can’t afford the exotic car, definitely don’t take out a heloc for it. That’s my belief.

    Grant deed vs deed of trust

    Initial grant deed shows a purchase home of $1.5m with a $1m mortgage. So borrowed $500k. A few years later, there is a deed of trust for close to $1.2m and then a few years later a deed of trust for another $400k. So does that mean the owner took out an initial $1m mortgage and then borrowed...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    It?s because they are rude and have no common sense.  Saw lady drive and open car door and just started peeing in a residential area.  Really?  You couldn?t have waited until you got out of the neighborhood to find a restroom?

    25% capital gains tax from selling investment property

    The original loan matter because the proceeds will have to pay back what I own.  Let?s say I bought it for $500k, the delta is still $1m minus $500k = $500k.  I still owe $400k on the loan so that has to be paid back. So 20% is still a big check I need to write.

    25% capital gains tax from selling investment property

    Let?s say I sell a $1m property after realtor fees.  Let?s say I have $400k left on the loan.  Since it?s investment home, there are no exemptions from living there 2 out of the last 5 years.  Does that mean I will have to pay 25% * $600k profit = $150k to the IRS?  Like I would actually have to...

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    Cetara has the best city lights at the Groves without having to go to the Vistas.  Even at some of the Vistas, you don?t always get a straight city view like all the Cetara view lots do.

    Do you need fire sprinkler in attic above furnace?

    We are realizing that there are no fire sprinklers in the attic above the furnace.  I?d think that is mandated since it could be a fire hazard.  Builder isn?t adding it, saying it?s not required.  Is this true?

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    So lot 33 has a $900k lot premium, given that interior plan 2 are around $2.45m?  That?s more than a view premium.  Perhaps this one will sit.
