Raje, is there a specific property type you want to buy in Orange County.. ie, did you prefer single family homes, multifamily housing, retail, industrial or office properties?

I do not use leverage but you can find some wise direction on tons of threads if that is your choice.

I would pay the $20 to record the deed without it.A grant deed is perfectly fine and preferred by title companies.

Although I prefered not to post the details on a public forum, this is the PM I sent to another member.I had 2 Medical Collection accounts that were $100 each.

Gven the choice or rent or buy for the same montlhy payments, I would buy, even if it meant putting down a few thousand dollars.

The right choice is perhaps dictated by whether you want the benefits of current return or want to bet on future value.

Those comments by people are crazy.They made their choices that led to losing their homes.Whether it was for paying cable instead of the mortgage,taking a trip,going out to eat constantly,having an expensive car you can't afford etc.There are some exceptions and real hard case stories of course but they are few and far between.These people are just jealous of the wealth this guy has.I am surprised he wanted to be on camera.People might think he is Rich with his yacht business and want to to pay less on the vessels.The people I know that have money keep a very low profile and like to appear like the average person.

Here is website to search: http://foreclosurespugetsound.com/bank-owned-snohomish-county.aspI prefer MHPs - but both are full so am looking at picking up some homes with land on the side.

I'm thinking about refinancing it but only if I continue to try to rent it out, which is not my preference after what I went through with the last tenants.

Service magic is yet another.I agree with Ibrahim S regarding recommendations / references, but sometimes you can't get a referral and have to make choices in some other way.
