I'm located in Orange County (Southern California).

Not only has the low-hanging fruit been picked, but a hedge fund came to town last year and sucked all the oxygen out of the air.Probate is, of course, a moving parade; I'm not so sure about absentee owners.If you see any glaring holes in this plan, I'd like to hear about it.

He works largely in the Orange County and San Diego area. 

I have a client who owns a handful of properties in the Orange County area. 

It all should match your profile.Have a fruitful day,Benny

I hate to see you spend your time on something that is not fruitful-  you may percieve comments as negativity but what we are doing is just warning you of going down a dead end because it’s so obvious to us- we’ve all gone through the the school of hard knocks.  

This may seem apples/oranges, but Self-Storage and renting houses are surprisingly similar.

I've been developing a relationship with a homeowner who sits on a piece of land hidden in a very nice residential area in Orange, CA.

There are foreclosure lists and sites that you can subscribe to, but I personally did not find them fruitful.

Welcome and good luck,I have spent a little time researching condos in middletown/orange.
