.There is new construction but it's more of an apples to oranges in that the new construction is sided colonials and on this particular street the homes are ramblers or older style 2 stories, many of them brick.

., would you want your neighbors to be able to put in purple, pink, or orange windows?

Hey all, I'm flipping a house with an orange-ish brick exterior with light blue shutters.

Welcome @Eldar ManetshSouthern Ca is a super tough market, but the great things is its huge...LA County, RIverside County, San Bernardino County, Ventura County, Orange Count...etc....My mistake in the beginning was taking in too much, listening to tons and tons of different podcast from learning how to invest in tax sales, to REO investing, buy and hold strategies, rehabbing etc....it became overwhelming, first i wanted to wholesale, then i wanted to flip, then i wanted to buy and hold, ALL as a beginner...And the end result was me roaming the internet day in and day out for countless hours, trying to find anything i coulld get my hands on...But for me personally, i chose wholesaling, because in Ca "CASH IS KING"....so i focused on nothing but wholesaling, because it less risk, less money and i knew my strength was talking to people.

This is our second attempt, we did our first last year:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/67/topics/88952-my-first-rehab-in-orange-countyAlso, I look forward to hearing you speak on March 11.

sullivan, ulster, orange counties are all good options,and only 90 minutes from nyc---good luck.

Probably not as big of a risk, you can likely get away with just a few minor retrofits.My husband and I do structural engineering, and we live in a one story 1960s home ourselves in Orange County, and we did a few little retrofits to it ourselves. 

I'm renting a room in this townhouse in Orange County, CA and the landlord has received a foreclosure notice.

It's also been said by you that you have learned everything you know about construction from the DIY orange book from Home Depot.
