This may be hard to achieve in north orange county.  

I am in Orange County, nothing is affordable here and therefore will possibly 1031 exchange into something out of state, multifamily to use my equity to bring better COI.

Judy, make sure you read up on fair housing rules, and make sure you identify your criteria for what approves someone to your standards.

Jersey City, Newark and Orange are all good investment areas.  

I walked a couple of investors a few weeks ago when I started to try to penetrate the residential market, there are three issues that I encountered, 1) most of them don't know what they want, not even a floor plan with scope of work, which renders the bids from us contractors like comparing an orange, an apple and a rotten grape. 2) They want the best contractor with the cheapest price, the best quality and to be done yesterday.

I would start with Elementary schools since those zones are typically smaller and you can target even better.The grades are online here: http://schoolgrades.fldoe.org/ Orlando schools are in Orange County, Longwood Schools are in Seminole County, and Deltona is in Volusia County.I would also suggest St.

Are there any southern California investors in the Inland Empire, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Fernando area looking for a Realtor to write offers?
