I use propertyradar.com for searching and there data migrates into expresscopy.com.  

They are generally not real estate people and will, in time, migrate they cash reserves to whatever opportunity d'jur captures their fancy.

For example, projected local appreciation rates, future home supply versus home buyer/ renter demand projections, migration trends, etc.

I loved my ING account but am going to migrate towards CU such as Alliant CU (0.80% savings) or PenFed CU.

I owned a bar with an apartment in the Dominican Republic when I went to college and It was so frustrating to be so far away and have to rely on local boots on the ground to relay data (in fact the manager spent all my cash for the project on a gambling Christmas cocaine party, ended up in jail and my boat got stolen by some Haitians trying to migrate to Florida but thats a whole different story).

My thinking is that if I can get in to control properties in the outlying areas of LA with a slight positive cashflow, the market will eventually go back up in value, and I can cash out some of the properties as the market moves up.Hi Brad:It seems to me that there is a net migration happening back towards LA, probably in part because of the high cost of commuting now, so rent may drop further.

I come from a family that migrated from another country and they believe in getting a job and building new business.

Real estate taxes don’t reassess on the sale, insurance is low and we continue to have increased in migration, jobs (no state income tax) and our own land constraint issues which prevent the market from getting overbuilt.

@Matt R.A big part of the reason for the growth here is the migration from the Bay Area.

there usually is a reason for in migration.
