Hey Jeremy, sounds like a great plan - I think tons of people will/would want the same thing. Have a rental property in Menifee (3years now) and I think you'll find inventory to be low - I have seen things come on the market for sale but they usually move quick. Prices have dropped in that area some, that's for sure. They (whoever that is, it's always a "they" ha) are moving, FINALLY, on building out the commercial plaza / movie theater complex there, and getting it going. It's supposed to be the largest movie theater area in Socal (or California), I forget. Condos/townhomes have gone in and people are living in them now, that's been good to see. I hear and know of many people moving there or looking to move there - big thing there is that it's affordable and in a decent spot to commute to work...lost of people will commute down to San Diego or areas in OC/LA. I know of MFH and about it, but am not currently in it - I'd say keep looking for properties, connect with people to know more, and get firm on your numbers so when people start offering to 'help' you'll know where you need to be number-wise. Also, if you're good at crunching investment numbers, that will also help - I found that most folks are either retail, or don't actually understand investment numbers and how that works. Good luck buddy!
