Recent reports say Orange County is the 4th riskiest market with an 8% chance of homes going down in value over the next 2 years.Am I crazy for considering renting it and not taking the appreciation now?

My name is Henry and I am located in Orange County.

There was a similar thread a while ago about someone doing the same thing in South Orange County.

I compared apples to oranges.. came home .. scratch down some numbers on paper to determine a new rent.. when it looked like a number people would accept , welp that was the new magic number.. all the vacancies were replaced with new tenants at the new rate.. work done in the apartments was painting, new carpet, new counters, new kitchen tile floor.. kitchen cabinets stayed the same as I didnt have enough money to replace. but oh what a difference new paint and carpet made.. had my husband rip ot all the old dead overgrown bushes outside ( he has a landscaping company) and I had my company ( my career was i own a housecleaning business) my company came in and scrubbed the apartments before new tenants moved in..

I have married kids in Tallahassee, Port Orange and Ft.

I'm not familiar with your market but if you're putting in free standing claw-foot tubs in mansions then we may be talking apples and oranges.

Orange County just had the highest sales for a March in nine years, according to Data Quick, and that was with a decline in new construction.  

I could give you average expenses that you could expect for a 4plex in Orange County if it would help your analysis. 

I just spent the weekend with Bill Tan (from SDCIA) at his 'Solution-based Financing Techniques' class in Orange County.
