Hello everyone,

I would love to hear recommendations on Investor friendly Lenders and Agents in the Los Angeles or Long Beach areas.

I am looking to buy 4 to 3 unit single family home in those areas.

Thanks

I would look at taking down a multi-family with a master lease with option to purchase (use the $420,000 for option payment, rehab, and increasing cash flow of the property) or, I would look into the Senior Living Space. Literally no competition, 20% Cash on Cash in California. 

 Thanks Daniel.

Can you provide more detail on the Senior Living Space?

And it might be a good idea to explore up and coming solid midwestern markets to maximize your returns.

Good luck.
 

 Thanks for the advice Vish.

Have you seen this recent forum thread? It starts to give a pretty comprehensive view of what investors should do in a similar situation:

@Osazee Edebiri Sorry for the late reply. I've been moving the past week.

To become financially free there are many vehicles you can use, although it depends on how much work you want to do. If you're looking to scale up in terms of multifamily investments make sure the place you select is somewhere you would like to spend a lot of time. Many startups don't consider the vast amount of time they will be spending in their chosen location when they invest. They simply look at the numbers. Make sure you not only find a location that has decent numbers, but also one that you would like to visit.

 Hope the move went smooth.

Thanks I will definitely take that into consideration on my next property purchase.

@Osazee Edebiri, there are many factors that one has to take into account to answer a question such as "Where can I invest my $X " . In fact should have a blog post on it soon.

Are you looking for an active or passive investment?

Desired returns?

What is your RISK tolerance?

How long can the capital be tied up?

Tax treatment preference?

Accreditation status?

Are you doing a 1031 exchange?

Are these funds from a retirement account?

You seem to have experience in property mgt. Have you considered partnering with others who can bring more capital and purchasing 100+ MF units?

 Thanks Percy.

Active Investment

Over 15% roi 

Non accredited 

Not doing exchange, I have the cash.

Not a retirement account.

Consider but want to build my own investments first.

Thanks Embert, I may have no choice but to use the method without paying cash, but if I finance then I will definitely purchase more than 5 units. I have thought about adding units, but I still need to find a good deal were that makes sense, also I am concerned with the high demand of general contracts. The more work a project needs the more challenging it may be to find a good GC.
