To answer the actual question....If I had unlimited funds and lived in LA what I would do1-Move as far away from LA as I could2-Invest in US treasuries. 

I watch the 10-Year Treasury constantly as that will track in lock-step with mortgage rates, but you can always download "Mortgage News Daily" from your Ap Store.

There are also many more passive investments which would pay more than your current return (>= 4.4%), like real estate funds, syndications, mortgage lending, even treasury bonds are paying more right now.

Only cash mate hehe 😁I've always been of the opinion that the best way to get rich is to have lots of money 😂  US Treasury Bonds mateJust need enough to throw it there and go to sleep.Depends on how much is enough for someone lolSafest and most passive investment IMOEverything else will always require "That phone call"Thanks

You make lower returns like a CD or a Treasury Note.

Treasury Bonds:Assumptions: A very safe investment.

People who do that are looking to “get rich quick”, they'd better off going to a casino and putting everything on red.

The selling option on a short term property, for me, is paramount to going to the casino.
