The City of Orange has Chapman University (I'm an Allium) and is (with no traffic) 15-20 min to Huntington or Newport Beach.

There are some great areas very close to the beach that are NOT in flood zones, but the house next door will be.  

I have a property I can get for $75k, 3 blocks from the beach, one block from the bay, needs $30k in rehab, and will be worth $200k easily after rehab.

We have our first of hopefully several vacation rentals in Lewes/Rehoboth Beach DE, 3 hours from here and manage it ourselves. 

Living in Southern California, I'm thinking of buying a 2 bedroom condo in Cocoa Beach Florida to rent out either full time or seasonally.

Same with the Malibu beach house referenced later in the thread.  

Hello,I’ve been looking for rentals somewhere in Huntington Beach or Westminster or Garden Grove area in Orange County California close to my work (Fountain Valley) but they seem to be way over priced for I’d be paying for.So I was looking into buying an older manufactured house around 50-60k (1990-2000) to save the down payment for a condo or townhouse.I’ve talked to a local real estate agent and the lot lease price seems to be around $1000-1200 in average price range.I’m not sure how often the park owners raise the price but I did my calculations with the current rate and it’d be somewhere between $1700-1800 per month.

It's not quite the dream of margaritas on sunny beaches but it does feel good.

There are two parcels in S Beach, Michigan ave.....a failed hotel development with foundations in the ground and easy to spot, the gov’t seized some illegal Venezuelan funds....a bunch of legal/ownership issues to deal with.
