SoCal investors -- What is the general sentiment about current prices in the LA market?

Strong Investor Confidence In Resilient Property Sector“Previous crises have shown that prices recover immediately once market sentiment and business activities start to improve.

I would echo Jonathan Greene's sentiment. 

@Doug McVinuaI’mNot sure they would want to keep it in the family for sentimental value, my parents aren’t the risk taker type i don’t think so convincing my dad to rent this property out may be tough in itself.

I didn't want to sell the home for sentimental reasons but I was 18 years old at the time and didn't have the money to let it sit empty while I was going to college so I turned it into a rental.

I'd sell and 1031 because the rents are substantially low given the amount of equity.Those properties are not yielding the highest and best return from the money that's being tied up.Now if the properties are sentimental and you want to pass them down to your kids that's different.

It might make sense from a finance standpoint but there is a lot of sentimental value attached to the house.Thanks!

Insurance is intended to be an X factor that doesn't change with the sentimentalism of the real estate market.

Those look nice (would like a more close up picture).I feel like the anti stainless sentiments are often posturing and statements against the run up to the recession.

While I can understand the sentiment of trying to get as many as you can, be careful.
