@Gilbert Ross Jr  when a person falls into foreclosure usually I believe it's two things a regular home owner or a speculative real estate investor as that is trendy now....But I see where I could find out more, in form of the process

The current trend is that realtors are working to get legistlation passed all over the US that will make assigning contracts illegal in one way or another. 

I think it might be a bit trendy, however looks good and will probably for a few years and very little maintenance per my understanding - can always throw another floor covering over it down the road to update the look at that time.

I currently do full renovations with some trendy accents for market rent.

I wanted to see if I'm the only one having issues, or if it is a trend.  I

And @Peter Crisp you are correct: there already are many retirees moving here (Vic/Van Isl) so this is already a well established trend! I

I think the aesthetics look good as this has become trendy. 

Or perhaps not as trendy in a few years?

You are correct in noticing a growing trend!  I

The first one we bought was a condo near old town orange which is a very trendy spot with tons of restaurants, bars etc.
