Pace is a good rental area for the $180K market, rents can be between 1400-1600 for that type of a place (look at school districts when purchasing as that will facilitate a better long term tenant and higher rent in this market).  

I made the tough decision of buying a less than desirable property in a up and coming area of one our tourist districts.  

I am from the midwest originally but have been living in Los Angeles for the last 6 years in a loft down town in the arts district.  

Hey John,Do you know how your sewer district calculates your rate?

That area can vary greatly in demographics depending on the zoning area, as I know there is a large spanish district north of the school and one that the county 'zones' around for school zones.

In my opinion, potential buyers are looking to be in a certain school district, municipality with low taxes or close to their employer.

If the new home is bigger, nicer, more expensive, or in a better school district you have a good chance.

The 2-2 story homes are next door to each other in the historic district of this city, and 1 has been completely gutted already; the other has been separated into 3 different units, and has 1 tenant still in there upstairs, and the two bottom units have been trashed.
