It is closest to home and good a airport. 

My work will be basically at the airport, so I can't stray too far from there.Thanks in advance for all the help!!

Bike rentals/ airport pickup/ grocery pre-delivered/ etc.....

As for location since I am living in the truck I can definitely do it anywhere in the country but I want to be close to a major international airport since I travel frequently overseas. 

First the lake, then trains, now the airports.

Look out for major negatives such as long staircases to front door, no garages (at least in CA and TX) locations on major streets (or backing up to major streets with traffic noise, proximity to train tracks or under airport flight paths, no yards on hillsides can be a big negative, proximity to flood zones, proximity to commercial or industrial, lack of similar size homes in the area or having what will be a great home but surrounded or in the proximity of  crap (shacks, run down homes, small homes with just your big one, etc.).

Major airports, great tourism and easy to hop over to Detroit for some recon.Just sayin'

I am keen to south of the airport... 100 to 120k will still buy you a killer home in a decent neighborhood , and compared to socal its a great bargin.

I'll be flying into John Wayne airport next week, Wednesday or Thursday, if you want to meet.

The City of El Segundo in Los Angeles County sits between a major Airport (LAX) a major Oil Refinery and down wind from a water treatment plant (stinky) average cost of a SFR 1.2 million.
