Deciding on an area to invest in...How do you do it? :)
I live in Los Angeles and feel like I don't know where to find good investment properties (I'm interested in buy and hold). I've used the rental property calculator, but not sure where to look. How do you even decide? Just keep running the numbers? Areas I know well are Portland, Oregon, San Diego and Pasadena - pretty much all places that are very expensive...
Sorry this is such a basic question... Thanks!

I would recommend reading The One Thing by Gary Keller
There is money to be made everywhere in this country. Your job is to pick one area and focus on it with everything you have.
My tip: No more than 5-10 miles from your home.
Good luck!
