Before I made an inquiry, I would want to do enough research on properties in the area to have an idea on what you would be willing to pay.

A good site I use for research is municode.com to find out all the local regulations we might encounter and if there are specific building standards for Parks. 

It's a good idea to to research your market and find out the norms i.e. do most post rent or buy, do they prefer apartments or single family, etc.

It’s the last Gold Coast City and it’s on the up.

I researched one guy and he has a criminal record a mile long.

When I started researching Grand Rapids MI a few years back I was blown away by how helpful local investors were.

I'm very familiar with all other construction costs but when I started researching the cost to de-lead I couldn't believe it.

@Katie Thompson not their job to compile a list for you, but you can probably research rcent evictions either at the court or online.

Hi All,I want to first start out by saying thank you to the many of you that I have had the chance to connect with through Bigger Pockets, both over lunch/coffee and here online.With that being said, over the past two years, my wife and I have virtually eliminated all of our "bad" debt and currently saving capital for our first real estate investment purchase.We have truly been committing ourselves to better understanding the in's and out's through our own research and are getting much closer to finally taking action.I am from San Diego, recently moved to Orange County, and I'm sure as many of you know the entry level capital required for investing in CA is quite high due to the cost of living (I could be completely mistaken as I only know the OC & SD market to an extent).

I am looking forward to get started with something within 100k to 120k range.I did research about some Turn Key investors around US.
