Looking to Invest in Los Angeles and Seeking Advice

[Mark Hall]

Hello all,

I am looking to invest in multi-family properties (2-4 units) in the Los Angeles Area in the near future. I intend on financing the purchase via FHA financing, and living in one of the units. I atleast would like a large portion, if not all, of my rent to be paid for by renting out the other units. I am looking for advice on the type of metrics that I should be looking for when looking at properties that are realistic and the best way to research these items?
