Hi,Looking to move purchase and move into our 3rd property (most likely early next year)We are currently renting in Orange County, and would like to buy basically in the same neighborhood once our lease is up.Our previous home is now being rented out for basically what our mortgage payment is. 

There are online only banks like Ally and Orange and probably others.   

I’m in north Orange County in California, I’m looking to meet up with potential investors in my area

I am ready to make the 1st purchase and I need your help.I live in Orange County and this is the biggest challenge as I am sure many can relate.

Hey folks, I've scoured the contractors that service the Orange County area, but looking for recommendations.Looking for bids for a whole home renovation and ADU addition.Thanks in advance!

It's not always a good thing as explained (there is almost no room to raise rents & squeeze the potential).The 2 examples you brought, are actually apples and oranges: the first one is mixed use (Commercial + Residential on top) so any calculation you have on sqm price & yield is worthless (yields on commercial are always higher, because residential is considered safer....).

My fiance and I are looking to purchase a primary residence in Orange County, CA, where it is very expensive! 

Here in Orange County, CA, you can pull up any property's tax bill, but the owner's name and address will be blanked out due to privacy.

Especially in Orlando, zoning changes over time, although the City of Orlando is more flexible than Orange County.
