House hacking in Los Angeles

[Ammar Muhammad]

Hello,

I am moving from NYC to LA in April 2022 and looking to purchase a property to house hack. My maximum budget is 500K. I would prefer to live in a area that is somewhat lively i.e have cafes, parks and is diverse (I am Pakistani) etc. Also I am gay so a gay friendly area will be preferred as well (I am not looking to move into west hollywood though). If anyone has advice on the areas I should look into then let me know. Also realtors are welcome to contact me.
