There are rentals one mile off of Huntington Beach that have increased rents at 9% a year for the last three years, but they don't cashflow at current prices (example 2 BR, 1500sqft sold for $670K and rents for $3100, 3yrs ago this unit sold for $470,000 and rented for $2300 still neg cash flow but thats the environment) But what you sacrifice in immediate cashflow, you hope to get back in healthy rent increases and appreciation which there is strong historic evidence for.
