    Concrete patio and tile

    Going to talk to him later today. Would rather demo this part and start over instead of firing him. Pavers were considered, but not a baller :(.  Thanks for input!

    Concrete patio and tile

    Can somebody verify this before I fire our landscaper? He's contracted to build 2 patios. One had a concrete slab poured and tile is being installed.  They ran out of concrete during the second patio pour and are now just hand filling in the remaining concrete and placing tile as they go along...

    OHR...Worth it or not?

    Didn't somebody do the math already for the 2%?  Compound calculator says $9k mello at 2% over 10 years reaches just under $11k?  I guess if you plan on living there forever it's going to suck but quite a few people move before the 10 year mark. I don't think that kind of increase is going to...

    OHR...Worth it or not?

    GP's effective tax rate is 1.8%?  Versus 1.4%, the delta on a million dollar home is $4000 a year or 333/month? Assuming the buyer's tax situation doesn't allow for property tax deduction.  To me 4k/year is a lot but maybe to some all cash FCB buyer, it's pocket change.

    OHR...Worth it or not?

    I'd avoid a 3 bedroom, not so much for personal use but more for resale factor.

    Undesirable Irvine homes

    Yellow Pine is part of the Colibri development. Not very popular floorplan, dense development. Everybody parks on the street, makes the whole neighborhood feel like an apartment complex.  I know it's not completely representative but look at Google street views of Yellow Pine vs Laceflower vs...

    Someone explain

    This poor house.  I think the initial ask was 1.339. The driveway's been completed but the agent refuses to update the images, they keep recycling the same iphone photos stolen from Irvine Housing blog:http://www.irvinehousingblog.com/2015/10/22/beacon-park-melody-collection-review/ Upside is...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Cultivate's listing is misleading, single loaded street? I thought in layman's terms, that implied a house with nobody behind you. Calculating with the asking prices seems pointless.

    Cadence Park - Great Park

    Found these at the Cadence playground. Adagio and Encore price lists and site map. Lennar bumped Adagio's "approximate" pricing by $100k compared to the initial price list posted in March! Encore map shows Lots 25, 26, 53 and 54 are the ones to shoot for.

    The 'Slums' of Irvine offers great deals

    Can someone explain this detail from the Woodbury listing: ?2nd and HOA Lien payoff estimated at $75,000.? Sellers getting killed on this. Bought 2005 for 836k and selling for 720k?

    Selling vs Renting out

    Plenty of stonegate and a few Eastwood listings when I search. Too lazy to google translate the Chinese listings.
