If I was out of town and looking, I'd be checking out DTLA, Culver City, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Long Beach, and Costa Mesa, because they all sort of attract and sustain young working class families, and that's the type of MFR renter I'm familiar with, and those neighborhoods are somewhat affordable, albeit a tad sketchy in some areas.Now, if I had a bigger budget and better knowledge on the ins and outs of newer developments, I'd be checking out Santa Monica, Brentwood, Venice, and Huntington Beach, because they're nicer neighborhoods.What are you looking for?

I've thought about selling and moving profits to other areas that cash flow better but can't bring myself to do it yet.For other areas, I'm not sure if the recent appreciation is sustainable.

Real income for the bottom 90% has been stagnant for forty years, and has declined since 1999.he only way to keep consumption rising when incomes are stagnant is to boost the borrowing power (i.e. collateral and creditworthiness) of households by inflating asset bubbles that create temporary (i.e. phantom) collateral and by lowering interest rates so the stagnant income can support more debt.This is why the Federal Reserve and the other agencies of the Central State have been reduced to blowing serial assets bubbles: there is no other way to keep a consumption-based economy from imploding.But "prosperity" based on serial asset bubbles and near-zero interest rates is neither real nor sustainable: real prosperity is based on rising real incomes, not debt leveraged on phantom collateral.Read More

My current career is good and I make a nice living but it's not going to sustain the type of investing I want to do (as in I want to buy A LOT more homes).I've spoken with a few nice people over at the Norris Group about their boot camp but their price is quite high.
