That's apple to orange.

I grew up in Orange - yeah, the ghetto part of Orange proper, not Thomas Edison's West Orange - and have lived everywhere in NJ.

I know that knockdown is a decent ceiling texture but I noticed "orange peel, egg shell" look is what a lot of the builders use here.

Feel free to contact me I specialize in the Westside of Jax and Orange Park.

Now for the bad news (as your title states)...You're in Orange County, CA!

I have found a property in Orange County California that the decedent past away (intestate) 20 years ago with no known will and the property is payed off.

Yellow or orange family whites look more natural.Sheen:  We have a lot of plaster walls with heavy texture and imperfections in our area, so eggshell is the way to go. 

Where I do need to be careful is things like utilities as those will mess up the 50% rule pretty quick and create an apples to oranges comparison.IMO, I don't know why anyone wouldn't take 30 year financing... the opportunity cost of tying up cash in equity versus reinvesting it right now is HUGE.

I also do not want to be in the south ward, irvington, or east orange where you might need a bullet proof vest to go out to the property.
