my brokers office is located about 50-60 (inland empire) miles away from where i spend most of my time at (los angeles/orange county).reason why i joined that office is because my buddy works there and wanted me to join. but im looking to farm in LA/OCMy business cards and postcards will have this inland empire address on it and im worried i will have trouble getting leads because my office is pretty far. will it effect my business?

We own property in Orange County, CA.

This has been my favorite real estate site since I discovered it a little over a year ago.I am a Realtor® in Orange County with Evergreen Realty and Associates.

I have been debating between Orange County and Riverside, leaning towards Riverside, but have no actual data to anchor this hunch down to.

If you are not borrowing in the Los Angeles/north Orange county area, and we haven’t personally met you, you are being scammed.Because this is ongoing, I won’t publish much yet, but do not respond to anyone using our company name whether they say they are me or not.

Hey all wanted to revive this thread a bit as my experience with my current property manager in Bakersfield has thus far been a nightmare (won't answer calls/emails, haven't yet been paid) and so I'm looking to dump them asap but want to make sure I don't make the same mistake twice.Some background - I own a multi-unit in East Bakersfield that nets $2500-3000 a month, so looking for recommendations from people who own similar or smaller type buildings in the area (I think comparing experiences and reviews between my property and a larger 160 unit (for example) is like apples to oranges unfortunately).

@Judi Smith Congratulations on deciding to make a move in the RE game!!

Your ALL in cost is only a cup of coffee.I am currently flipping homes in Orange County and teach others how to do so as well.

I would favor New Jersey over New York, properties are less expensive, close proximity to Manhattan, cash flows, you might qualify for 15K grant that can be applied towards downpayment & closing (assuming you are a first time home buyer), AND NJ is LANDLORD friendly vs New York (NY is Tenant friendly state); We focus on Newark/Irvington/East Orange (Newark is favorite, lots of things are happening there), we assist buyers with purchasing 3-4 family - our niche.
