As far as hurting ARV, from an appraisal stand point, the two should be considered as apples and oranges and never come into the picture as far as value of your property.

i googled it & looks like soil mites & looks like they're harmless?

they're on the foundation & plumber say them under the furnace.

can/should i bug bomb these?

However; the market in Orange County is a tough one, very few distressed properties or fixers.

@Vivek Khoche the big problem here in Orange County is my cash will not take me too far; I would be relying on appreciation which I would prefer to avoid (most of my capital is already invested in the stock market and I want to diversify out of appreciation based investments)

We bought cheap paint from homedepot and it took us so many layers to get rid of the horrible blue and orange walls (see video).

I was looking for it a couple months ago and couldn't find it.For those of you who might be interested in wholesaling to an end buyer who is using conventional financing, Judy Ryon's threads are a thing to look through.

I just hear things like "Housing prices will drop this year to an all time low in Orange County" which is right where I am looking.

I'm not sure why I didn't think of that...but Orange County actually has the properties listed w/pictures, pretty impressive.

A colleague of mine is interested in these for his private sector foreclosure prevention business... since this is clearly a better option than the ridiculous 90-day moratorium, I thought I'd help him out, so...Where do I get a list of NOD's (preferrably in So-Cal counties- Orange, SD, LA, Riverside, San Bernadino) with phone #'s?

People I know with similar problems, bought some cheap small orange cones to block off the area or driveway.
