You're comparing apples and oranges. 

Hello all.I live in Orange County, CA.

The PM can put an orange stick in the ground and ask Tenants to call any time the grass reaches the top of the stick.Take a few minutes to get real clear on responsibilities, processes for scheduling the work, and then get it in writing so everyone's on the same page.

(this exception is describing my property and I never receive a written notice from my tenants asking me to invoke the provisions of the act)Judy- 1.

I'm looking for small, local bank(s) in the Gulf Shores / Orange Beach area to build a relationship with.

Orange County that is depreciated out and hasn't appreciated in years.

Residential and commercial are apples and oranges and I like to compare them to being a pilot vs a commercial pilot.

It is super simple and I get almost zero rejections or anger from the people I call. 

Average Median House price in Orange County [just south of Los Angeles] is hitting close to $800k.
