I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

Then, start building your connection with local agents, contractors and property managers.2. 

Are you focusing on local investments within LA County, or are you considering opportunities outside the area as well?

However, that doesn’t mean there’s no demand for affordable rentals—you just need to determine if your home fits the local rental market.

If you’re interested in investing here, I’d encourage you to speak with a knowledgeable local real estate professional or lender to get accurate guidance.

HUDuser.org is great for vacancy rates, but cross-referencing with local market reports is important for more context.For job diversity and employers, LinkedIn or regional economic development websites often provide insights.

I think you need to find a good local agent, network with investors(local meet ups, FB groups, etc) and learn more to dial in the gameplan. 

It definitely won’t hurt our local market.

You can purchase them through a local dealer that has a good track record in the community.At this time our cleaners take care of the hot tub, but I will say if you have a certified hot tub company that can come weekly, I would definitely go that route!

There's no fixed max size beyond local zoning rules.
