I currently flip homes in LA and Orange Counties.

Hi, my first BP post and I need some input, understanding and directionSituation: in a down 2010 market I purchased ONE piece of property with TWO HOUSES in a very desirable area of Orange County CA. 

The reason I was looking was due to the fact we are building in coastal Orange County, CA which is prime for Vacation Rentals, and have been contacted by those considering buying our house for VR. 

I even head up to Orange County for a few other great clubs.

My family is from Newark and the Oranges as well.

Money is still tight, any movement and the juggling status quo will change from oranges to flipping knives.

We are in Orange County, CA and do new construction.

Another option will be to look into Furnished Finder for traveling nurses who will need housing for ~90 days.As far as the neighborhoods go, I would also check out north of the city (Everett, Malden, and Melrose are all on the Orange Line which should take you straight to Northeastern without a transfer), the properties are more affordable and Everett and Malden are developing quickly. 

As a broker, I have agents in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and San Bernardino counties. 

I don't, i use existing then just draw red/orange lines.
