How to identify good areas to invest

[Pedro Cardoso]

Hello everyone, I recently moved to LA and I have zero familiarity with the region and its surroundings. What tools and resources can I use to get to know the areas a bit better and identify good areas for rental properties?  I have been driving around to get to know the different regions, but would also be great to know what resources I can use to see potential rent and valuation trends, etc.
