NEVER west Jackson IE west of downtown and North of 20..

Check out this video of downtown LA.

There is also a large Victorian Home in the historic district (in city limits) that would be a possibility because it's more space and closer to Downtown but still a desirable neighborhood.

We are sandwiched between well known hot spots and its an ideal location for someone who wants to explore the beach life or any of the down-town areas nearby (Los Angeles, Long Beach, Redondo, Manhattan, Southbay Etc), new build with modern amenities, washer/dryer in unit, full sized fridge, dishwasher, professional range cooktop, queen bedroom, full standing shower, large kitchen, full sized couch in the living room, private front patio. 

Can you tell me your thoughts on the Downtown area and what you feel the best zip codes to invest in there are and why?

I did some direct mailers to the tower and it worked out well but ongoing I want to get more. please reach out if you have further interest in downtown miami or brickell.

It is doable but you have to find the diamond in the rough.However, downtown on the Strip, there are high rises that are outside of Clark county that I have seen do well! 

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) is studying an alternative station location between O and R Streets in downtown Merced along 16th Street.

PS I love Charleston .. just tied up a lot down town to do a new build on .. very tough to find lots there that work !!

I live in miami florida now and I moved for larger scale developments here because of the net migration but columbus ohio the economics allow for that. existing inventory has been tougher and at the pricing inc columbus you may as well build new because you can build new less than replacement costs in a lot of the markets downtown. it's about being in adjacent downtown neighborhoods where property values and rents are higher. land values are the biggest driver of how well you can buy land to develop followed by permitted uses or rezoning applications.
