5 Year old house in Irvine! What I like about newer houses is that they have a much lower cost to rehab them. You probably won’t need a new bathroom, kitchen, or other major expenses. Yes, maybe flooring and a fresh coat of paint will be required, but likely not much more.

Comments:

Whoa. More Pictures here. Check them out. Simple loan situation. I’d definitely do this one if I had the funds.

Map

Nice looking house on a nice looking street, with lots of margin to boot.

I’m not a big fan of Stockton. Sometimes it has some great values and if you want rental property, it’s good. However, this one is in one of the best gated neighborhoods near the San Joaquin river. This is a good candidate.

Comments:

This house in Pacifica may have an ocean view. I noticed that it looks like there may have been an add-on in the back. Worth a drive by.

Nice looking house in LA. Windows appear to be newer which is one less expense to incurr. Well kept lawn likely means well kept inside.

More than 500K margin in this one does pique my interest. The lien history looks straightforward (see the property profile report).

Duplex! If you’ve been following me you know I love investment properties that are available under SB1079. Immediate cash flow for your investment. Move into 1 unit for a year, then you have an excellent investment property.

Map

Money talks with this one. Possibly double your money in 1 year.

This seems like an excellent value, which I put into the "Too good to be true" category until we can make sure title is clear.

The central coast is a great place to live. My daughter recently bought a foreclosure near by and I am envious. Likely in need of a big makeover but there is plenty of margin to work with.

How about a house on the beach? This one is a block away from the beach. It’s small, and on a small lot. But did I mention that it’s a block from the beach?

Crescent city is a favorite of mine. It’s on the coast, is very affordable, but is big enough to have lots of amenities. This house is worth almost double what the higest bid is. If you like a coastal town, this could be for you.

Clovis is a great place to live with great schools. This property looks well cared for from the outside, which usually translates to the inside as well.
