Not sure what to do with Los angeles RSO rent control...

I would guess in Los Angeles, that the price of property is more based on speculation that there will be appreciation and less on CAP rates and cash on cash returns.  

If you're in Los Angeles the rules are very strict and favorable for the tenant.

@Jacob Vargas If you're living in Los Angels and moving to Colorado why hold these properties?

Architect A estimated I would need to pay $10K-$15K for civil engineering services for a 2 story ADU on a flat lot in Los Angeles.They say it is for grading and low impact development/stormwater management).Architect B thinks the civil engineering services could possibly be avoided entirely:"Grading shouldnt be significant and not need design work.FYI: Your property is in a special zone that requires extra hoops to jump through for grading, but I have only seen that triggered when excavating for a basement parking level.

I'm moving to Colorado next year from Los Angeles, CA.

I live in Los Angeles, CA. 

I work as a Hard Money Lender and have been seeing the struggles in Los Angeles with flippers and was suggested to try different cheaper markets to get my start in investing.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
