Hi Art, when buying real estate in a Self Directed IRA it's typically recommended the property is paid in cash and holds no debt.

Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

I'll send you a direct message. 

It's a good place to start for some direction on a plan. 

In the meantime, we have been buying properties with debt from owners and others directly from the bank in Valencia. 

Select a larger area that is at least 30 minutes in each direction. with maybe a hand full of exceptions I am pretty sure you would be hard pressed to find a mix that represents the demographic cross section of this country and therefor a wide range of neighborhoods.

If you'd like to connect further, I'd be happy to share some resources with you to help get you going in the right direction.
