Hi @James Edgar,I am and investor in Renfrew, about 50 mins west of Ottawa.

East and West coasts and towards the southern states. 

CA benefits from a glorious past with tech industry and entertainment industry to name a few, that were built before CA became effectively a one party system; and this "People's Republic" unfortunately also "occupies" more than half of our beautiful West Coast with prime real estate.

main thing to remember, UK and los angeles have very different economics.... local economies in each specific area in los angeles even vary quite a bitthe income or industry in south la vs west la vs north la are all very different.pick an area and dissect it make the best decision"ghettos" in Los Angeles have a lot of life long renters that are very much govt subsidized  so you are not investing with a tenant but more so with the government and managing a tenant as a way to get a premium
