We are currently at a low affordability rate, which is typically a leading indicator of slowdown and price trend change.

This will make it a lot easier to manage, will cost you less than buying on the market and typically you can get 1:1 rent returns.

Private Money Lenders are going to be hard for a primary residence as it is an investment and typically they want to see a return prior to two years - also, the house would need to be purchased at a discount which would limit your options on a primary residence - now if you are looking for something that needs some work that you are planning on fixing up, it would be a little more feasible.

@Joshua Martin,If there’s a chance you’ll sell next year, a HELOC might be the better move since it typically has lower upfront costs compared to a cash-out refi.

@Thomas FarrellRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

LA typically has outperformed in vacancy, rent growth, and appreciation.
