Good Morning all, As you may know I have been fighting this up hill battle in trying to turn my PR into a rental and then purchase another home for myself. 

It's worth fighting for.

Is this property near Irvine?

Once its in your blood you just can't fight it!

Of course thats going to take a whole lot of work in fixing my horriable credit, I had a few bad situations over the years and it's taken it's toll on my credit report....got my hours and pay cut as a result of 9/11, eviction, fell behind on student loans which then went into default, bankruptcy, became a daddy, got hit with child support...etc etcon a positive note my girlfriend is about to complete nursing school in about 2 weeks and her credit isnt great but nowhere near the disaster that mine is. things should be looking up soon as there is a major shortage of nurses and they'll be fighting over offering her a well paying new job. meanwhile i'm going to kep plugging away at repairing my credit and learn as much as I can about real estste investing and hopefully one day we can be as successfull as some of you.

If we'd rented for 5 more years, we could've bought a good dozen distressed properties during the time we were fighting an upside down mortgage.

Greetings, I'm new to the RE investment arena and wanted to know if anyone's worked with or heard of a company out of Irvine CA,  called HomeUnion?

It does mean you have to make sure every deal is strong enough that you will have buyers fighting over it.  

The OC is my second home since I work in Irvine.

I have all the stuff ready to go, cash for 25% down, financing, good credit, just no deal.That is why I am looking into 5+, so I can get a valuation based on income and cap rate instead of being on the business of comps and fighting homeowners.
