@Hector Bastida I've been working with the same criteria as yours for the past few months, looking locally in Long Beach, San Pedro, and surrounding areas. I've met a lot of people that have made it work here but the deals go fast and require creativity. Pretty amazing to see what places are selling for around here given the amount of violent crimes that occur within a few blocks of my neighborhood (DTLB). If you're ever in the neighborhood would be happy to show you around and share the knowledge I've been building. Keep at it and you'll find something that will work. You only need one to start!
@James M. Great to hear your story and would be awesome to grab a beer and talk real estate sometime.
@Account Closed Thanks for sharing! It seems like that area is a great investment opportunity if you find the right block and are in the path of progress. Would love to hear how you guys found the right block around that area. Not sure how much "driving for dollars" I want to do around there given my limited knowledge of that location.
