As I've mentioned, as developers in the coastal areas of Orange County CA, I've become fascinated in the niche of Vacation Rental properties, just because of the sheer number of them.

Apples and oranges.

Hi Audrey,Looks like we're neighbors...I'm in Orange Cnty.Regarding probate: Actually, finding 3 of 7 who have real property isn't bad, and getting a response from 1 mailing is just awesome!

I have family in the Phoenix area in AZ and in the Orange County area of CA as well as South Dakota and Wyoming.

I am also in Orange County and got into my first property in Vegas end of April..

I'm thinking Fullerton, Buena Park, Garden Grove, Orange.

As Douglas mentioned, you're mixing apples and oranges.

Most of the rent and appraisal appreciation was due to steadily higher incomes and net immigration to the really hot regions like Orange County and parts of San Diego. 

Theo, this is apples and oranges, both can be rotten.
