How to study demographic trends (Los Angeles)

[Account Closed]

Hi all!

I am based in Los Angeles. My uncle and I are going to be ready to invest in a one-to-four unit investment property soon.

I'd like to know what some of the most effective methods are to study market trends in my city. Are there any free resources to start with that can give great information about how properties in certain areas/zip codes are selling for, possibly Price Band, YOY, and Momentum information? What about local rents?

Our budget for a down payment is anywhere from $60-100k, possible rehab included to raise value. We are looking for a one-to-four unit and would consider living in a unit should we go through FHA. Any and all information would be appreciated!
