Overview

About Orange

Orange is a bustling university city in northern Orange County, California, with a population of over 139,000. Orange is an attractive city because of its active economy, excellent schools, and beautiful weather. A unique feature of Orange is the homes and buildings in the Old Towne District that were built before 1920. In the 1960s, Orange decided to preserve these houses while other cities were demolishing their historic houses.

The Old Towne Orange Historic District is on the National Register for Historic Places. It is a great place to spend a day shopping for antiques, trying a new restaurant, or attending one of their amazing events like Orange International Street Fair, Treats in the Streets Autumn Festival, or the Tree Lighting Ceremony and Candlelight Choir Procession. Orange boasts 22 parks with various amenities, the Hilbert Museum of California Art on the Chapman University campus, and the can’t-miss Orange County Zoo. For more information on attractions in Orange, visit the City of Orange’s official website.

Why owning rental property in Orange is a good investment

Orange has a wide range of appeal thanks to its beautiful beaches, top-rated attractions, and amazing entertainment scene. It has a vibrant brewpub and cafe culture—whether you prefer hops and barley or coffee beans, there’s something for everyone. Choose to stop in at 1886 Brewing Company for a flight of award-winning beers or head over to Contra Coffee & Tea for their own take on a tasting flight.

Orange became a university town when Chapman University opened its doors in the 1950s. It is now also home to one of California’s best community colleges, Santiago Canyon College. The Orange Unified School District, which serves all of Orange, is one of the top-rated school districts in Orange County.

Orange is well-connected to the surrounding freeways, making it easy to get from place to place. This makes Orange a great commuter city for those working in larger surrounding cities like Anaheim and Santa Ana. Orange is served by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and there is a MetroLink rail system that can take you around Orange County by train.

How much does Orange property management cost?

Every Orange property manager has their own unique fee structure, which can vary significantly from other Orange property management companies. At Good Life Property Management, we offer house, condo, and/or 2-4 units property management for an 8% monthly management fee. Alternatively, we provide multi-family (5-15 units) property management for a 6% monthly management fee. In addition to monthly management fees, we charge a leasing fee (which is 25% of one month’s rent), a $150 annual inspection fee, and a $195 lease renewal fee.

For Non-California residents, the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) requires property managers to withhold a percentage of income from property owners who live out of state as a pre-tax. payment. Our charge is $50/quarter, which covers submitting these payments on your behalf and your annual tax forms. We ensure compliance and timely filings so you can avoid penalties and focus on what matters most.

Home Prices

in Orange

The housing market in Orange, California, is growing year-over-year as more families, professionals, and individuals look to move to the vibrant community. Single-family homes, condos, and townhouses are found in various neighborhoods in Orange, including the popular neighborhoods Orange Park Acres, Orange Foothills, and Old Towne. The university and colleges and the proximity to bigger cities make Orange a great place to invest in a rental property.

Pros of Investing in Orange

Orange is an interesting mix of a booming local economy, charming historic districts, university town appeal, and a strong sense of community. Thanks to employers like Chapman University, UCI Medical Centre, and the many small businesses in Old Towne, there is a high demand for housing for professionals, young families, and students. Orange is also home to many unique neighborhoods—the historic Old Towne Orange, family-friendly El Modena, and upscale Orange Park Acres—meaning there is something for everyone.

Cons of Investing in Orange

Currently, Orange is a seller’s market—more people are looking for houses than houses on the market. While this can make it more difficult to find a property to invest in, it also means that you’ll be on the opposite side of the equation once you find your property. Orange is also a landlord’s market—there are more potential renters than there are rental units. You’ll be in a position to find a qualified tenant quickly.

We rent a house through GLPM and had two appliances needing repair one month. They were both resolved within 48 hours. Oscar and Derek were very responsive when we requested help. After each work order was placed, they communicated who would complete the service. Both of them checked in with me to make sure the service was done to my satisfaction when the projects were completed. Thank you guys!

Our rental has received a few repairs that have been scheduled with Oscar Mendoza's assistance and management. He has been timely with responses and follow-up and truly helps to reduce the stress of these processes.

Keith did a wonderful job in assisting me with the process of having our roof and water heater replaced at our property. He’s also been very helpful and attentive in addressing any questions or concerns I have. I appreciate Keith and his hard work.It is always super easy to let them know about issues with their Property Meld application, and I highly recommend both Derek and Oscar!

Christian guided me through the process of assessing, preparing and marketing my home with patience and expertise. I was totally new to working with a property management firm and he made it as easy as possible. Following his instructions we were able to find renters for the property in less than a week of our initial posting. All in all Christian made what could have been a confusing and stressful process into something streamlined and understandable. I highly recommend working with him.
