Thanks Judy Raymond for your reply.

Hi Judy,Thanks for your feedback.

I met an investor in Orange County who goes straight to the courthouse steps, making it seem like a pretty straightforward process.

Hi All,I'm a new investor located in Orange County, CA and a long-time reader  (but first-time poster) here at BiggerPockets.

I was talking about first using our foreclosure auction list service, we have one for Orlando/orange county, can't post url here, but it's $24/mo and it's the same as the site in my sig, then you narrow down to a few you want to bid on and then pull lien search on those.  

Hello BP World!I am about to venture in to my first real estate deal and I need a little guidance on how to split fee's with an investor (whom is also a family friend).My Aunt is moving out of the country and selling/...

You may be able to get up to $15k in down payment and closing costs assistance in Orange county. 

Trying to see Judge Judy soon?

The generic option gives them the opportunity to come to you with no embarrassment or anger about you knowing their situation.

I currently live in Orange County, CA and am an accountant with an active CPA license.
