I'm currently partnering in the expansion of a lifestyle brand from one location in the Downtown LA Arts District into further iterations and spinoff concepts throughout Greater LA.

Hi RolandaThanks for your quick response :)These 8 properties are just north of downtown and have been vacant for some time.  36th, 34th, 40th - in that area.  

Locate your property as close to downtown that you can afford.  

The morning started off with investors from all over the US slowly meandering their way into the massive masonic Scottish Rites Temple sitting off the shores of beautiful Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland.

Hello,I purchased a rental property near the new dome downtown Atl and got really lucky in terms of purchasing on a nice street with a strong neighborhood association.

Try to get as close to downtown with what you can afford.  

Long-term I'd hope to grow a buy-and-hold portfolio, but I'm very focused on this first purchase for right now.Since I work downtown, don't own a car (and don't want to), and spend most of my time in Central LA, I'm looking really closely at areas around downtown: lower-cost areas with decently affordable 2-4 unit buildings (in the $400,000 to $800,000 range) like Pico-Union, areas around USC, and even up around Hollywood/Koreatown when the rare good deal shows up there.I've been looking around on Redfin a bunch, but have seen little to nothing that satisfies Josh and Brandon's "Two Percent Rule" (or even 1% rule).

there ya go you don't live there and your grasping at straws.. how did you even know where Sherwood was and how did you come upon this property.why would you make an offer when you don't know the resale value.. just curious.market has moved there no doubt but old houses are not going to comp like new construction. and there have been some new homes built in what I am thinking is the inner downtown area were this property may be located. since you give no inkling there is no way to really know. :)

The location is also very convenient with the metro north train in downtown yonkers runningyou right into the nyc in the less than a hour.
