No, properties were built 2004-2007 when MR was still reasonable.  Also, I think one or two of the bonds have actually expired now.

FMV without agent fees (or significantly reduced agent fees) is still a win for you if you wanted to sell.  This is what they are thinking.

I don't think Northwood Estates was in the area that was part of the discussion to get rezoned.  Northwood Estates is a neighborhood that checks a lot of boxes - small gated community, walking distance to a shopping center and close proximity to 5 freeway, no apartments, has cul de sac streets...

It all depends on the forms and schedules you expect to file.  The cheaper ones don't prepare anything other than Schedule A, B or D ($300).  Mid-High cost ($500-$1200) ones can do more, but it really depends on your circumstance.

I think one of the most interesting data points of this listing is that the buyer agent commission is set to 2%.  Why people are still offering 2.5% is beyond me.

Was thinking of doing a cash-out in Dec.  Rate was about .25 higher than without a cash-out. 

Curious what was the price of each?

Doubtful.  This is such a specific request for a niche product.  Doubt that anyone on TI would have a lead on where to buy one.

I contacted ER a few months ago and their prices are uncompetitive.  Flat rate of $950.00 for one sale and one purchase and any additional properties are $250.00 each.

Looks like Cox enhanced their public WIFI near me and I can get their service at my house from the neighboring shopping center!  I connected after registering as "Guest" and speeds are decent.  50mbps down/5mbps up.  Any idea on limitations on using the Guest account?  I'm able to stream Netflix...

Don't you have to subtract the new monthly interest (ie. 2.625%) from your old interest rate (ie. 3.50%).  It's about $350 a month savings on a $500k loan.  So the opportunity cost would be $1750 assuming the other lender closed in 1 month.

Took exactly 6 months from lock date to fund date.  Got the locked rate of 2.625% 30 year w/ $8400 credit.  Sections A+B+C totaled $1025.  Lots of back and forth with them during the last 6 months.  I'd estimate at least 100 e-mails and phone calls.  If you're up for the challenge, I'd recommend...

Wonder if they are charging for parking...

Can't wait to see Hmart and Zion battle it out with discounts and specials to gain business from one another.

If they do this, they might bring back AMT.  Not sure the net would be beneficial...

One of the biggest benefits of a Roth IRA is that it is NOT subject to RMDs (required minimum distributions) whereas IRAs are.  This allows a lot more flexibility when you hit 72 years old.

Did you get a home inspection?

Not too happy about AM&G electric on a GFI outlet issue.  Came on-site and quoted $510 after looking at the issue.  I asked why so high and he said he might need to run new wires in the attic/wall and do a whole bunch of work to get the outlet working.  I told him the outlet was working fine...

It's goes down to 2.875% no fee as well.  Keep monitoring it and pull the trigger when it hits 2.875%.

I'm surprised that cleaning your panels with a hose made such a big difference.  I would have thought the heavy rain over the weekend would have accomplished the same thing.
