I helped a client buy a couple 4plexes in Orange County last year, one in the city of Orange and one in Anaheim.

It is a 1100sf brick ranch with 3br and 1ba on 1/2 acre.My Illinois Real Estate I hold outside of my IRA but when I can achieve returns like that plus tax free on top of that it is like triple icing on the cake!

A local agent, Kate Daye with ERA Realty, sold the property for us and made the whole process a piece of cake.
