Yes, Will, I grew up in Cali, graduate by LAX, El -Segundo, CA, class of 1979 and have watch the REI market out there since.

I am hoping to keep my search closer to the beach towns (Torrance, Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan, El Segundo) but am aware that prices may be a bit out of my range as a young military officer and am flexible on location.Being in the military gives me many connections to other military members in the area and I am more than willing to help expand networks.

The South Bay real estate market, which includes the coastal cities between Rancho Palos Verdes north to El Segundo, was one of the few areas in Los Angeles County that actually gained more rented office space than it lost in the fourth quarter.

By LA standards, if a duplex or house + ADU allows you to spend less than you're paying on rent now and start building equity, it's a win.For example, I spent some time last time finding properties for a client near El Segundo, where this client lives.

@Jacob Segundo sorry I cant help answer your question, but I have one for you.

Are you working in El Segundo or Hawthorne?

I also reside in LA (near Aerospace Corp in El Segundo) and am an engineer. 

Hello to all BPer'sI have rental property in El Segundo, but am looking to joint venture with my daughter and her fiancée in a home for them in the Eagle Rock, Sherman Oaks, or Mar Vista neighborhoods of LA.

I'm interested in reading from any professional investors out there what this could mean for appreciation in the surrounding areas, namely Westchester, Playa Del Rey, MDR, and El Segundo.

Most Lawndale/Hawthorne residents try to get a waiver to get their kids into the neighboring El Segundo school district.
