@Arlan PotterAbsolutely apples and oranges indeed.

As for markets I'm checking out, Sacramento area and Orange County are on list.

Hi Brian,I wish you the best of lucks.We are also based in NYC ( Uper East side )But we are focusing more on Rockland and Orange Counties .

I'm in Orange County about 55 minutes north of you. 

The crypto exchanges are exceedingly busy opening new accounts as fast as they can, and definitely focusing on the low-hanging fruit, which is individuals. 

The house looks pretty nice....I'd lose the flower pots around the front door; if possible, add a small pair of shutters to the window on the porch and repaint the shutters a burnt-orange that will go well with the brick but still make it pop.

Sounds like we have apples and oranges in this fruit salad.....are we buying real estate or notes?

I learned by going to meet with a bunch of wrinkled old landlords who used to meet for breakfast every Friday at a restaurant in Orange County.

The government should NOT EVER be able to force a US Citizen to buy any product or service (SS and Medicare is not a product or service).That being said, once you OWN a piece of investment property, the Fair Housing Act kicks in, as well as when you SELL it.I have several properties in Orange County, CA rented to Hispanics and have had good success with them.

Brian,You are comparing apples to oranges.
