I live in North West Inglewood and it's out of the LAX flight path.   I can see planes in the distance, but it's not a noise issue.

@Jorge Ruiz - Yes, I go to just about every one at MB Country Club.  I will be on the look out for you at the next one!

@Laura Wherry

Sorry about that...  FIBI stands for "For Investors By Investors".  There are a handful of chapters in SoCal; easiest to find them on meetup.com.  Educational, cheap, pretty high quality attendees, and no sales pitches!  I like the BP meetups too; they are mostly newbie attendees....  less intimidating, but also a little harder to find people that are serious about being successful.

I love the idea of a 2-4 unit, while living in one.  I wish my wife and I had done that when we purchased our primary residence.  We did the next best thing, which was to "house hack" (another industry term), which was to rent out one of our bedrooms.

Hi Laura,

Welcome to BP!  Lots of great resources and people on this site.

Do you attend any meetup groups in person?  I also live in Inglewood and have found a lot of the FIBI meetup groups and the BP meetup in this area to be helpful in meeting good folks that love to share.

BTW... do you know what kind of investment you want to start with?

Regards,

Tim

Thank you.  Seeing this just jogged my memory; I did see this.

 @Matt R, do you happen to know who the UCLA Anderson forecaster is by name?  And for bonus points, a possible link to the material you mentioned?

I am curious b/c I do not recall seeing that interesting fact and get my hands on a fair amount of RE info that comes out of UCLA Anderson.

If I had to bet, I'd go with Culver City and Inglewood.  And if you had asked about 10 years, I would be more comfortable with my bet.  

I like the economics, business environments, supply restrictions and general lack of sexiness these areas have today.

With all that said, I think even these areas are generally over-priced today.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'll be there.
