You will find the best prices properties in Patterson, East Orange, and parts of Newark but I personally don't have interest in those areas.Love that you are starting young!

Hi Neil,I currently work at a brokerage in North Jersey in a financial and operations capacity not far from East Orange.

Once he leaves my benefits will be reduced accordingly, and I will not be able to keep the house I currently rent...which is fine, because I want to move back to Orange County anyway.

I was born and raised in beautiful Orange County, CA and I work as business consultant that travels usually 4 out of 5 work days (M-Th) out of the week.

Can these properties be found here in Orange County or will I have to look out in Riverside or San Bernardino Counties?

I am new to BP but not new to investing in buy and hold.The reason you are not seeing the 1% rule is because you are comparing apples and oranges.

I think the best source is going to be directly from the MLS.My only other tip is to make sure you are comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges on the MLS or have an experienced investor help you with comps.

What are the particulars in Seminole/ Orange County FL.

With that said, we are comparing apples and oranges.

Hi Kyle I did not want to jump into SFR I wanted something with low maintenance and cannot house hack as I already own my own property in Orange which I live with my family so wanted to start something small and hassle free.
