I think everyone is comparing apples to oranges.

You are comparing apples to oranges.  

You could also put in orange or yellow countertops and popcorn ceilings.

Within the next two years I am going to have a townhouse in Orange County, a package of 7 duplexes in Arkansas and the lake cabin for Pops.

Hi all, I'm currently looking at Newark and East Orange and surrounding areas.

Also bringing back my monthly meetups in Orange County.

So the notion that the Howey test should somehow be applied to a Note (aka loan, aka note & deed of trust, aka mortgage) is mixing apples and oranges it would seem.Also an interesting point he made is that if everything (investors, property, etc) is in one state, one should look to state laws in making the is it a security determination.  

closing attornies work like escrow companies do out our way with a set fee to close.. not an hourly rate.. apples and oranges what your paying for.

My partners and I are new to investing and wondering, if anybody has a good idea of the best areas to flip a house in orange county

Would still like to see some appreciation, however, not as crucial in the beginning to me.
