I'd go for something VERY bright, clean, and cheery... something in the family of deep yellow/gold/orange-ISH, with a clear white trim.

(I live in Orange County, Ca) I'm looking in other counties for investment where the foreclosure rates are much higher and prices are lower.Thanks for your help!!

Orange County is great though, and I can help you here!!

I like the orange smell, but there are lemon odors, neutral deodorizers (like the new car smell).

If you're in an area where there are postage size stamp lots with many homes like the general LA, Orange and San Bernardino areas of CA, an appraiser will never go past 1.5 miles unless it is a more rural area.

We are currently working on two projects in Orange county, NY (Middletown and Port Jervis/greenville).

So, we are talking apples and oranges here.

If you are interested in attending meetings and staying informed you can find the group by going to meetup.com and searching in Lake Forest for the group named "Orange County Real Estate Investor Networking".Feel free to bring any questions, general or specific, about investing in real estate.

Along with listening to the Podcasts and reviewing the blog posts here on BP, I highly recommend attending some local REI meetings - best way to find local connections to network with.A few I recommend:http://www.meetup.com/Orange-County-Real-Estate-In...http://www.meetup.com/Orange-County-FIBI/http://ocreforum.com/Keys to remember - education yourself and make sure the numbers make sense any deal you do.

Just a glimpse of the news will show you all of the madness going on across the country should have everyone in orange alert.
