Recently, I've been helping real estate investors with their online marketing, including branding, website design/development, SEO, Social Media, Adwords and more. 

He is older is currently not employed (has some social security income but that's it now). 

I am in Mission Viejo and can meet at a Starbucks.

Welcome to the investors club .......In the central part of San Diego, the North Park, Hillcrest, Mission Valley areas are all very popular with renters nowadays, Oceanside is even better because you also have a lot of military there as as well.Happy Investing
