Thanks,Glen

Pasadena feeds into 3 High Schools Glen Burnie , North East , and Chesapeake ,

My husband and I are looking to start flipping houses in and around LA/OC/Riverside/San Bernardino.

Generally, a survey is not required for legal descriptions using a plat and lot and block title for the description, these are in neighborhoods, such as Lot Seven Block Eight of Riverside Subdivision, Orange County, ..... if you have a meets and bonds description (100'  East, 40" South, 120' Westerly.... you may need a survey.Title insurance does not cover "area or content other than that shown by a proper survey" and lenders will want that coverage if it is not platted by lot and block.Another issue, encroachments might be suspected, but can only be shown by a proper survey and title insurance will not cover such matters not shown and rarely if shown, depends on the encroachment. 

I'm starting to look into Riverside and San Bernardino county but even then it's hard to make the numbers work.

Glen,There are a couple members on here that can provide some good insight in that area I believe.

I decided to do some research on a couple less expensive markets in CA, like Riverside.

Looking at something in Riverside/Avondale area and need property manager who knows that market.

Most volatile were Riverside CA, Phoenix, AZ, Miami FL.
