I have an option to purchase a plot of land in Los Angeles at an attractive price but I do not have the funds to exercise it.

Cash flow and appreciation are the main key factors here.As someone who lives in Los Angeles and invest in the mid west I clearly see the differences between a low cash flow (inexpensive) rental and more costly rental that generates thousands of dollars and month in cashflow.

Also, just for everyone to know, this is in Los Angeles County, along with all the properties I currently own.

I’m a new investor who lives in Los Angeles.

I have been looking into tax deed real estate particularly in California; I live in Los Angeles.What has been people's experience with dealing with the dwellers/owners/renters of these tax deed properties?

. $5M in Charleston is different than Los Angeles.

Check out the listing input forms for a residential property for two different MLSs: Los Angeles and San Diego (in case you want to see how different the forms can be).

I travel to New York and Los Angeles for capital raising but happy to look at local partnerships.

My debate is this.As a general statement the rental property cash flow here in Los Angeles is VERY challenging to find.I am looking to buy a property with a detached garage and convert into and ADU for helping to offset to mortgage.Crunching some numbers up on $1M property with and ADU assuming (rough numbers) main house brings $5,000 and the ADU $2,000 I’ll still be negative in the deal after all expenses (vacancy, capex, repairs etc…)However if I will use it as a Sort Term Rental it will be cash flowing beautifully.What’s your take about buying negative cash flow long term but counting on AirBNB to bring in the positive cash flow?

My wife and I purchased a primary home about 1.5 hours from Los Angeles, CA and are looking to give short term rentals a try.
