The only place I could see that is in Manchester/Blackwell, Highland Park, Church Hill, or other increasingly expensive neighborhoods...even for empty lots.

The big church group there is trying to rebuild the whole place.

Look for old elementary schools for sale, old motels, flat roof churches, daycare centers, etc.

Hi, I'm working with a church to convert their space into an apartment complex where the church will have it's meeting room on the first floor and we will build apartments above the meeting room. 

View or Los Altos or Saratoga or Los Gatos.. it was just the corner of Stevens Creek and Hwy 9 ( De Anza blvd to you new comers)  and when I  lived there it was still gravel.. one side was the Catholic church and the old black smith the other was Cali brothers were you bought your farm goods.. then the North west side was the Gemco shopping center .. and 280 was not built yet..

Not as a person responsible for your dad but as a person that could watch over the house. anybody from your church maybe ?

You could look for these people at churches, gyms, networking events.Good luck!

Areas I've looked at are Corona, Riverside, Redlands, and the general inland empire (Riverside/San Bernardino County).My situation is very flexible - family and church friends are in a 50-mile radius of the locations listed, so started my search there - but starting anew with new friends and locations is fine.My question(s) - 2 part:1) If you could live in any city in California (specifically Southern California) - where would you buy a 2-4 plex?
