If you look in Oak Creek, the detached condos along Hawk Creek can be had for less. But be warned that prices here dropped a little more in the previous down cycle. It's a nice neighborhood though, I lived there on and off for about a decade. Short walking distance to 2 shopping plazas, creek...

That general area is nice, Yorba Regional Park was one of my favorite fishing spots. However, park services doesn't clean the kid's playground enough and there's a lot of duck poop. The homes built in that area, both on Anaheim Hills side and on Yorba Linda side, has many floorplans with...

The location is probably better (less road noise), but it's on a smaller lot and (I think) all bedrooms are upstairs. From a "forever home" perspective, you'd want at least 1 bedroom and 1 full bath downstairs. As you get older you will struggle to go up and down the stairs. As I mentioned in...

Hope it has good sound proofing and dual paned windows! But the $77/month HOA and (likely) no mello roose is nice.

Yes, it only has marginal performance improvement over M2, but the M2 is $800 so for $50 more, it's probably worth getting the M3. With base 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD that's non-upgradable and non-replaceable, the system is not suitable for heavy duty use. But for moderate use scenario it's...

$1.4 mil for a tri-level condo? No thanks. This one is $1.5 mil single story SFR on 6,000 sq ft lot, across the street from Irvine high: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/4381-Bermuda-Cir-92604/home/4666054 You could grow old in the single story SFR as a “forever home”, but probably not the...

I think if the hybrid battery dies the car will be inoperable or run in limp mode.

Hypothetically, if I were to buy a Tesla, I'd buy new (or near new) with the 8 year/100k mile battery warranty. With a Prius, I know I can take it to shops in Garden Grove and replace the hybrid battery for about $1k. With an out of warranty Tesla, um...

Here's an article on someone back-testing Warren Buffett's 90/10 portfolio for his wife: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/121815/buffetts-9010-asset-allocation-sound.asp https://blog.iese.edu/jestrada/files/2016/03/Buffett-AA.pdf Interestingly, the testing shows 60/40...

Somewhere along the transition from “melting pot” to “salad bowl”, identity politics took a turn to outer space.

If memory serves, in the last down cycle the price on attached condos dropped up to ~40%, versus the smaller SFR's (detached condos?) in my area dropped up to ~30%. But I lived in Oak Park/Oak Creek and does not represent Irvine as a whole. I wouldn't classify 2 bed detached condos to be...

Side note, the NEXX Burger in Downey is down the street from on the last remaining Pioneer Chicken locations in LA. Fried chicken and biscuits good. The price, not so good.

I went to Smoke Queen BBQ on Sunday, the only day when their big beef bones are avail. First let me warn you, 3 beef ribs is $135. We easily spent close to $200. The quality of the beef ribs and pork bbq was good, the beef ribs had a lot of meat (not stingy), the sides are decent, and the...

Saw this post by a baller today: He's invested in some high risk, high yield ETF's: https://www.yieldmaxetfs.com/ Realistically, with his diversification, how volatile is his portfolio?

For what they're asking ($1.6 mil), you could get this: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Coto-de-Caza/48-Creek-View-Rd-92679/home/5020700

At my house, the water main switch is in the front. From the pipe that comes in, it diverts to the sprinkler system and the house separately. So when we installed water softener in the house, it does not impact the irrigation system. However, we have hard water here and over time, there's...

I'm sure there are more than a few here who thinks Irvine RE prices are off the wall, including myself. I purchased my first condo in Irvine in 1999 and ended up buying a house elsewhere, just to afford a single story 4 bed house with yard for my potatoes and tomatoes. Actually my first visit...
