@Benjamin Hazlett I am guessing my good friend @Tyler Gibson has you square here but if you type in "orange county" on google maps you get a perfect where NOT to buy.  

Provide vs pay for is apples and oranges. looks like you are indicating the tenant will provide fridge, range, microwave they are in the provided by section.

Are you hopeful that the economy will pick up and investing in this market will be fruitful in the long run or are you staying clear of the area due to the economic crisis they are in?

You hear the same neighborhoods ad nauseam: Little Village, Albany Park... and then someone chimes in with something they saw about avoiding "dangerous" areas based on some low-hanging fruit they came across online. 

I am a private money lender living in Orange County, California.

"Orange Coast Lender Services will clear all open title issues / outstanding liens prior to the closing..."

It's been a long road, but a rewarding one, and as we celebrate the fruits of that labor and try to make it as impactful as possible, I'm simultaneously keeping my pulse on the real estate deals up north.I guess that's enough for now.

I just sold a condo in Orange County, I was receiving $600 positive cash flow.

Our answer is this: we have identified over 500 land parcels that fit our UTH product type in the LA Basin, with a tight focus on the Long Beach, south LA county, and northern Orange County markets.

It's comparing apples to oranges.
