I am making a big move from Fresno California to Little River South Carolina area.  

Pros = 1) Rented on one side for 15 years, the other for 2 years 2) Zillow is telling me that its worth $52,0003) There is nothing rented for under $400 on Craigslist in that area.4) I have it under contract for $20,0005) I have had an agent/property manager tell me it is worth 65K not to buy if for more then 50K he also has properties in that area. he thinks it should rent for $350 to $375.7) A property manager went there and told me its not in a war zone,but its a 6 with 10 being the worst.8) A second agent gave me an income approach and told me if I wanted to sell it I could get about $40,000Cons= 1) 3rd agent went there and he told me that the area is too rough for him and wont touch it, but has friends that will go in that area.2) I am unable to pull comps- I have used things like myfirstamerican, Eppraisal, Chase estimator, and not getting anything, this is also why I have contacted a lot of agents to give me some feed back. 3) I live in California and will have to find a support team there.

I know In California for residential properties you need a transfer disclosure statement, lead based paint, natural hazards, etc...but what about for vacant land? 

Im a licensed RE agent in Fresno CA, considering to bid for a property on public auction in auction.com, hubzu.com, homesearch.com. my question is.. for example, when I place a winning bid of 100K, and the property has a total estimated debt of 300K, does that mean I have to pay 400K for the property in order to get the title? 

Hi all-I'm the owner of a single family home/property within West Hollywood. I am currently seeking an investor for the acquisition of the lot next to mine for assemblage with the purpose of constructing a multi-famil...

I'd bet that a google search would find out if the same were true in CA.

I know there's the FHA but I'm currently unemployed and currently a student in Sacramento, California.

My fiancé and I do investments in PA as well as CA (I'm an realtor in CA so I'm more "what's the word I'm thinking of" with deals).

Would be great here in earthquake prone California, probably also good for other areas with violent natural disasters.
