You can google each of them.Let me know if you need any help.Hope this helps,Glen

Much of Orange County and I believe Riverside and San Diego Counties are not rent controlled.

The last four properties I sold were to investors here in the Los Angeles area (one was Riverside). 

Just a friendy note to anyone who is bidding on apn 342110002 in the Riverside county tax sale at ************** While this property may appear to have no title issues, a prelim from Chicago Title in 2004 says otherwise. 

Was a licensed real estate agent for 10 years in the markets of Los Angeles, riverside and San Bernardino counties.  

You can find great opportunities in Riverside County a little north of 1% that should appreciate moderately once the economy recovers.

I am currently finding commercial multi-family properties in Southern California (LA county, Orange County, San Bernardino County, and Riverside County).

@Glen Leatherwood I generally use paid themes.

Rick,I purchased the duplex in Riverside.
