Areas we serve
Three Southern California markets, each with its own investing reality. SCREIA content and meetings respect the differences — they aren't interchangeable.
Orange County
SCREIA serves Orange County investors from Anaheim and Santa Ana through Irvine, Newport Beach, and the South County coastal corridor. OC’s investment landscape skews toward primary-residence flips, ADU strategy plays under SB 9 and city-specific overlays, and lower-cap-rate buy-and-hold deals where the appreciation thesis carries more weight than monthly cash flow. The weekly newsletter covers OC-specific topics including current hard-money rates, ADU build economics in the $300-450/sqft range, and Title 24 compliance for rehab projects.
Los Angeles County
Across Los Angeles County — from Long Beach and South Bay through West LA, the Valley, and the Westside — SCREIA members navigate the most regulated tenant environment in California. LA city’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), the city of LA’s Just Cause Ordinance, AB-1482 statewide rent caps, and the patchwork of municipal rent-control overlays in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Long Beach all matter for value-add multi-family underwriting. Chapter content addresses LA RSO disclosure obligations, RSO-encumbered acquisition pricing, and the syndication-compliance reality for CA sponsors raising LP capital.
Inland Empire
The Inland Empire — Riverside County and San Bernardino County, including Riverside, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Corona, and the High Desert — is where most SoCal BRRRR strategies actually pencil. Cap rates run materially higher than coastal SoCal, hard-money lender activity is dense, and the rehab-and-refinance math works on properties priced below replacement cost. SCREIA’s IE-focused content covers current 2026 rental market reads, IE-specific lender shortlists, off-market sourcing channels active in the region, and the longer-than-coastal rehab timelines investors should plan around.
