Buying in Orange County SF

[Dairek Lewis]

Hi, Im currently looking into purchasing a home in Southern Ca. (Orange County). I have saved up a decent amount where I can now put a down payment on a home. Will most likely be purchasing a home within the next 4-6 months. I don't know how crazy this sounds but my budget for a single family home in this area is 750k. Was hoping to see if I can connect with someone who is familiar with purchasing in this area and looking for some advice. I wanted to purchase a brrr property with maybe house hacking. I have a few questions for anybody familiar with homes down here.  Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
