FCB includes ICBs.

To me (since I believe I coined the acronym), an FCB is anyone who puts down more than 20% cash.

Can I put 20.1% down so I can be part of this elusive FCB club?  Do I get a member number? Member's jacket?  Entrance to special events?

You get on the priority list for new homes before a priority list even exists. Plus do you qualify for the F?

Half of the household is F.  (seems like some coded language we are conversing with, haha)

Hopefully the list is over email as I always got shrugged off by sales agent because they were watching me pull up in my hoopty.  :'(
 
That's why when I used to go to open houses, I would park my car two blocks away so the agents won't see me coming.  Then, they think you're a FCB and treat you better.  :P

My question is, how are all these fcb able to stay in the country for so long, live in the house and send kids to school? Do they get green cards or something for buying a investment property???? I would think most are on travel visa's or something.

They get a green card for buying a house over $500,000.

Then why are you still here?  Do I need to call the INS?
 
My FCB neighbor would leave his kids for months at a time to go back to Singapore. I'm not sure what the rule is for the kids, maybe student visas?
 
Are the stone lions in the backyard negotiable?  Got to get me some of those.  Even has a baby lion on its paw.
