To really stand out, make sure that your postcards and business cards are all the same bright yellow or orange or whatever color that jumps out at you.

Anywhere near the red/orange lines south of 635 would also work.

Hello All
I am both astounded and at a lost for words by the sheer amount of success a lot of you have achieved here in the BiggerPockets community. I plan on making a move to Southern California in a few years, howe...

Definitely paint, an orange bathroom is a little too niche IMO.   

As an Orange County Agent who also invests in many other states, I would love to help other investors.

Another post recently unveiled a lot of interest from folks around Los Angeles (Orange County, Long Beach, anywhere...) who are interested, or potentially interested, in investing out-of-state.

Pre-qualificationIf you are too "Poor" to buy what you want in a neighborhood you are comfortable in, look at 1st time housing grants to increase your down payment amount so you can buy more house.The amount of the loan, and the amount of your down payment + grant will dictate a particular MAX purchase price for you.Be sure to allow for closing cost and loan costs in your calculations.Once you have that MAX dollar amount you can spend start looking at what you can afford in different neighborhoods.For instance in some cities you might find a Class D neighborhood 4 plex in good shape for the same price as a Class B neighborhood duplex.The Class D place might give you more cash flow than the Class B too, [BUT]Maybe your chance of getting robbed or shot or carjacked in the Class D neighborhood might be greater than the Class B neighborhood (so factor things like that in too).The question is still which should you buy--First whittle it down to specific properties the Bank will let you Afford--then make an apples to Oranges comparison as best you can.

I like to own properties that reach the broadest part of the rental population (think of the orange and red properties on a monopoly board vs the light and dark blue)

Use colors that promote taking action, confidence, happy, bright, cheerful.My website is orange.

Apples and oranges and different tax treatment.
