Yet I would still argue Orange County is still a great place to invest.

But that is some low hanging fruit that I’ll need to address to get highest and best usage out of them.

I like the idea of buying a 4 plex first and live in 1 but, 4 plex in Orange county, CA just costs way too much.

Virtually every source that tracks return on buy n hold shows San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County have produced the highest return for buy n hold investors virtually every decade starting in the 1970s.  

Love to network as well, have a fruitful day.

I mainly appraise single-family homes in Orange County and apartment buildings in Los Angeles County.

You can see it in any other desirable locale be it LA, SF, Orange County etc. 

They also have monthly get togethers in Saint Augustine for breakfast and another for lunch at Whiteys Fish Camp in Orange Park. 

I am by no means going in blind or rushing the process.As stated in my original post I am fully aware of zoning issues and I am looking anywhere from Charlotte county to Orange County primarily focusing on Sarasota county to buy land.

I'm getting ready buy my first investment property in the next year hopefully and am curious if anyone here in the Los Angeles/Orange County area has found good multifamily homes that could cash flow and/or help me pay down most of my mortgage.
