Couple of things, you may not be able to convert the garage into a studio apartment, that depends on your zoning, and that goes for @Judy P. idea about splitting the property into two lots, it all depends on zoning and what you are allowed to put there, but if the typical lot is an acre or less, i think she has a good idea, i wouldn't sell just yet until you did some research. what town do you have the property in ?

i also look at some properties in east orange but not so familiar with the area.

Goal is to buy at least 2per year or have 10 cashflow rental properties within 5.Are there regularly meets in the Orange County area?

Looking to network with local investors in the Orange County, California area.

Kavita, My suggestion is to drive around these towns and get a feel for the area, with you living in Millburn, you can be in most of these towns in about 45 min. most of South Orange, Maplewood and Montclair will be more expensive and only good if you tend to flip properties and can get them at a real good price.

Looking to network with Wholesalers in these counties: Flagler/ St John/Duval/Volusia/Orange county.
