Happy to chat.Los Angeles is an appreciation play.

The next RE play is going to be building ammo stores on the interstate and state lines between CA and NV and Oregon and WA and ID..

Appreciation in most Sec8 neighborhoods is very low so it’s a cash flow play.- I would highly suggest you plan on using a property management company.

You have to value your time, leverage your skills, and execute a long or short term play. 

It's hard to harvest equity on these plays, unless you commit, long-term, towards very light leverage, as the only practical ways to benefit from the equity in your portfolio, if you plan to never sell it, only exchange it, for a lifetime, are to spend the cash flow, or cash out refi.

You just have to do a LOT of homework and play by the rules.

Figure out how you want to handle you investing and what role real estate plays in that. 

Plus, having a fully paid-off property could be a nice safety net if the STR market takes a hit or occupancy slows down.On the flip side, if you’re eager to grow, saving for another property could be the better play.

I give it ten or so years before we start seeing this play out. 

Seen that play a few times.. this whole sub to being taught to under capitalized or starter investors who don't know what they don't know and learn this on line is just so very dangerous.
