If your in the Manhattan Beach area, that is a large enough market that you should be able to get some market info from commercial brokers.

I just moved from Manhattan, KS which is where Kansas State is at.

With the insane market here in NYC, I see small 1/1 condos as far away from Manhattan as Staten Island going for 300K+.

My husband is a realtor in the area (and spent about 15 years commuting to Manhattan) and his partner has a solid construction background. 

Let’s say you accumulate a million dollar worth pf properties, for example five SFR for worth 200k a piece.

I'm a Manhattan resident and looking to get started finding motivated sellers in Westchester county (Yonkers/ Mount Vernon area).

I am only an hour from Manhattan and have a pretty good network of people in the general area. 

Purchase Price: $600kMortgage balance: $540k @ 3%Net income: $1600/monthThanks to nice growth in this neighborhood, which is in close proximity to Hoboken and Manhattan, I believe it can appraise for at least $950k.My next purchase will not be an FHA.  

Even now, I can't afford to flip in Manhattan, but I can in NJ and Long Island.

Plenty of people live in apartments in upscale Manhattan buildings paying pennies when comparing market rent to the exact unit.
