Thanks everyone for your input! Please feel free to connect, I'd love to stay up-to-date with your ventures

@Ali Boone first off, I love your company's name! and thank you for your input. For me, out of state is not yet an option since this will be my first property and I want to give it my full attention. Ideally it will be close to where I live but finding a good deal is proving to be a hard task.

@Gene Hacker thanks for your input, I'm open to suggestions about areas that haven't recovered quickly. I am trying to buy sooner than later.

@Leslie Pappas the plan for the long run is to diversify. My main parameters for LA and around LA is decent school zones and above average income, but this houses come with a high price tag that kills your cash flow (unless a good deal is found and there's always a good deal somewhere).

Thanks everyone for your input, please feel free to message me suggestions and send friend requests

Hello BP Community,

I recently relocated from Philadelphia to Los Angeles and,  needless to  say, I was shocked with the prices of property in and around LA. I am sure that this has  been discussed before (if yes, please include a link in your reply).

As a new investor looking for cash flow from rental properties, what areas do you think would be the best to look in and research that would offer both reasonable pricing and cash flow? Ideally duplexes, triplexes and overall multi-family housing.

Thank you,

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jacob, I am an absolute noob in real estate. I recently picked up a couple of books on the subject and made the decision to attempt to buy a quadplex here in the Los Angeles area (valley).

Real estate is a very tough market to understand and infiltrate. So having a resource like this website is nothing short than marvelous!
