In my honest opinion, I wouldn't start investing in LA until you're more experienced as both an investor and landlord, unless you really want to live there. The LA rent control and tenant moratorium laws are not very friendly and could cause quite the headache for just about anyone. The OC and SB counties are great options outside of LA.

Hey Trevor, I'm a fellow developer here in LA. Just to give you an idea of what we look for:

- Multifamily Zoning (R2,R3,R4, RD...)

- No Overlays (no HPOZ, no CPIO, etc...)

- 6000 sf lot plus

We tend to build by right and will use the TOC density bonus if it makes sense investment wise. I'd love to connect more and help where I can

Hey BP Community, I'm a developer here in the Los Angeles area and we're trying to navigate the new regulations California has been implementing. One that has been giving us trouble is SB8. I'm looking to get help from anybody who's gone through the SB8 application process and knows what is needed to get approval. We are worried about making offers on some properties that have tenants in them, due to the new SB8 regulation. I'd love some clarification on what we can do new development wise if we were to buy a property, vacant or not, but it had tenants in the past 5 years. Thank you in advance.

Greatbuildz is a fantastic way to find reliable GCs in the area. We've used it as a vendor and have been able to find clients with construction projects that fit our criteria. Paul is definitely on to something here. Great job man!

 Thanks for replying. I sent you a personal message as well

Hey Andy, Jack has it right on the nose here. I have a loan officer here in SoCal I can connect you with if you'd like. I'm also a commercial agent and can help you with finding the new properties. Let's connect!

Hey Leo, co-living communities are a great way to increase rental income and provide a sense of community with your tenants. I'm a developer here in LA and we work with several clients who specialize in co-living and assisted living facilities. Would love to connect you with the right individuals to make sure you get this set up correctly. I'll send you a request

Just sent you a connection request. I manage a few STR's around LA as well as being an agent

Hey Trevor, I'm partnered with ATP Development and we've done tons of ground up construction in Los Angeles with varying overlays and hurdles we had to jump through. I'd love to talk more about this project or any others you're considering since we are general contractors as well, and we can help with the design process to ensure viability.

Hey Jamial, I'm also located in Los Angeles, but I invest in the Midwest as well. Let's connect and see how we can help each other.
