Investor here over in Contra Costa County.

I'm especially interested in hearing what things you do much differently today as opposed to a year or two ago.The areas I am especially interested in are Orange County.

Having said that, the swimming pool issue is a life safety issue, and the city, county or state should jump on that if you contact the right office, especially when you mention serious concerns about the neighborhood children.

Ideally I would like to find a wholesaler in Orange County to work with.

Point: Property in some cases is not actually sold, but rather the taxes are being paid to the County on behalf of the delinquent tax-payer.

Doe's anyone have information to how I can get the County's pre-foreclosure info for Burmingham.

If you look at the bid stat's for your county, this will tell you what type of offers they have accepted in the past.I have found that they don't have a clue as to what a home needs.

This is also a good way for a newbee to learn a territory and make some money to fund their startup.Also, learning the values of the properties in your territory and leaning how to value a property are all valueable to a new investor.Too bad Orange County, California is mostly taken (except for three war zones).

The disaster area consists of the following counties: Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura.You can read the entire IRS press release at http://www.exeterco.com/news_irs_issues_tax_relief_2007_california_fire_victims.aspx for complete details.
