David;I am located in Walden, NY (Orange County) and thanks for all who took the time to offer your sincere advise.

It has 3 wells, a pond, and tons of fruit trees (154 acres).

Here in Orange County, CA, it takes $650,000 to buy a 1958 "old looking" 3 BR 2 BA house in a junky neighborhood.I own a mortgage company, and people DO NOT make the income it would take to buy this average piece of crap!

Not a good idea, unless you look good in an orange jumpsuit..

Hi All,I'm a real estate associate in Orange County and I'm looking to connect with a couple of commercial lenders that I can refer clients to on future transactions.

I just closed on a three family in East Orange NJ and acquired the house with tenants already on the premise .

I'm a GC out in Orange County and work in the city of LA as well and have discussed the urban lot split with a few cities now and all of them seem pretty straightforward. 

I’m very excited to finally have the skills, education and courage to start on this endeavor and I can not wait to see the fruit that will bear.

And I have a very possible commercial tenant lined up, for after-sale for multiyear lease commitment (after repairs), 2000k a month, rented 2nd-floor unit is grossing 1200k currently paying and up to date (this year taxes due less than 8k).I have worked on an executive summary property, datasheet, and other numbers but I just don't know this mixed stuff, I want to be reputable always, I don't want to be misleading or be incorrect (can't post it in this thread anyway- no address included here).2nd) East Orange NJ, 4bed, 2 baths, converted 2 family into 1 family, 1400- 1700sqft, it has been fully gutted, the new fully open concept upon entering 1st floor. and rehabber is out of money and time, but into this deal already 200k in the current rehab. interesting point lots of materials are pre-purchased and locked in the property and included in offer, like the roof, some hardwood, some kitchen materials and more.

If you’re going after low hanging fruit..
