@WIll Bernard (don't know what my @NAME doesn't turn blue and underline like everyone else)..anyways, Hey WIll, thanks for coming by to introduce yourself.

There are two apartment associations in Orange County, and the real big fish in Los Angeles, AAGLA, and others all over the state and country.People with money for hobbies can also be real estate investors.

Good thing you are not in the city of Los Angeles, where tax money is funding a group which represents tenants and is demanding jury trials on evictions, now, when courthouse space has been drastically reduced.

I think you're wise to diversify your investments and many in the angel investing arena in the Austin area would do well to do the same.One thing that you may define is what your goal is with real estate investing.

My current demographic is professionals or high level blue collar (military that is E6+ or O1-O3).

Blue tide with water?

Here are example MONTHLY costs for CBS Outdoor (for signs of various sizes and locations) in that county: AREA: Los Angeles County SHELTERSIndividual (NET) Unit Cost: $15003 – 5 Units (NET) cost per unit: $900Production costs: $100 per ad + shipping and handling POSTERSIndividual (NET) Unit Cost: $1,500 - $4,0003-5 Units (NET) cost per unit: $1,200 - $2,500Production costs: $150 per ad + shipping and handling.

As investors we only care about the home's blue-book value when getting it insured or refinanced.

@Luke Ward - once I quit buying properties, I started setting aside 5% of gross rents for maintenance reserves... just in time to incur a completely out-of-the-blue foundation repair.

Typically a free and clear house and a healthy seller.Four, once in a blue moon, a realtor will let a house sell with owner financing.
