A couple months ago, my partner and I purchased a single family home in Los Angeles from the previous owner. 

I’m in Los Angeles, so weather is generally mild with hot summers.

I grew up in Los Angeles, moved to Kansas City for a job, and now live and work in New York City with my girlfriend. 

You also see evidence in that everyone knew/knows it would be short/medium term by looking at the training of the baristas-turned-loan-originators that now dominate the call center places, in many cases they weren't even taught how to read a purchase contract (ask your Realtor, they can attest to this :), the idea (implicitly) being that this batch of new LOs is just going to be fired once rates go up, they're just being hired for refis, no reason to teach them how to read a purchase contract or that deadlines matter.

I am currently living in Los Angeles, but plan to move to Las Vegas to invest. 

I've looked into HELOCs, but the fact that they have the repayment period and variable interest rate isn't going to help me out with cash flow when it comes to the high Los Angeles pricing.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Los Angeles.

I've found a 1.5 acres in the center of a well known city in east Los Angeles.

I currently live in Los Angeles, CA, and have managed to save up $35,000 in liquid cash for a down payment on a house.

My father has a duplex with section 8 tenants. Tenants are month to month. They are taking advantage of my father's kindness. Looking for an experienced PM to assist with the tenants.
