A little bit about me - I'm 30 years old living in Los Angeles, and I've been listening to BP for almost two years now.

Hi BP forum!
I will be moving into the San Fernando Valley in a few months, and will either be purchasing my first property, or renting while patiently looking for deals as the pandemic continues. Either way, I have...

Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone, Im originally from Los Angeles but have been living in the Atlanta area for close to 10 years!

When we're renovating projects in Los Angeles that are in undesirable areas we use a third-party security company that brings a camera in that is powered through solar. 

And I've been in the tenant's position before.I had been a tenant at a house in Los Angeles for five years as I was going to school at USC and starting my career.

On the micro level, you can use this data to spot other opportunities, such as suburban infill lot building or room additions to maximize returns in areas where rental profits may not make sense.On the other hand, I apparently need to get out from behind my desk more often because this past week I re-discovered an entire community (in very competitive Los Angeles county, no less) that is ripe for picking: Alta Dena.

I'm in Los Angeles, to get over 15% is tough, and getting harder.

Being in the greater Los Angeles area, my investing will be taking place out of state and therefore I will be a long distance landlord for the first few years.

I just joined BP and am also near Los Angeles.  

I was just looking at two in SF and one in Los Altos and that was the case..
