@Paul BirkettDon't compare apples to oranges.

But is there anyone out there who actually is actually currently renting out a home with a pool in California--LA, SF, San Jose, or Orange County.The home is situated near a beach community in California--so a pool would be a huge draw to a potential renter--setting it apart from other homes in the neighborhood.  

My own kitchen is lime green and orange!

I've been working with a coach on this specific issue and live nearby in Orange County.

@Samvel Gevorgyan: yeah its so difficult for middle class beginners to get in RE without financial help from family, in orange county even if you get in you will probably be making negative cash flow in the beginning.

I just moved to Orange County myself from Scottsdale, Arizona last month.

Not enough people that want a job picking oranges!

For example, we've had a few mixers at The Wine Lab in Newport Beach and, last week, they had a "Beer and Brats" mixer in Anaheim (I couldn't make that one, darn it).There's also the Investor Workshops that meet up in Orange.

My location is Orange County, California.

I bet your market in Hawaii is much like Orange County, CA, expensive!
