In the midwest, Rent is a ton cheaper than living in LA. I

Being a 24 y/o female in South LA, I would love to find make friends that don't "live for the weekend" and are more focused on building a Mastermind Group.

I already have two properties in LA (I have been house hacking). 

Anybody have any suggestions on which banks are the he best to use in LA? I

@Eva Lai What ever the case is going on here (feels sketchy to me) don't get pushed around by the seller.

You may or may not know this but with an FHA loan, the property must be owner occupied for a year so deciding to house hack in LA is going to extend the beginning of your investing journey if you're okay with that.I am not too sure of the market in New Jersey, but I still feel that a property in LA is a better long term investment in terms of appreciation and desirability.

I am hoping to get started by househacking (as I know achieving cash flow in LA is difficult) and gradually build a larger portfolio over time.

Depending on where in LA, I can do that.

I'm an investor and househacker in Los Angeles.First thing's first: Bigger Pockets is awesome, but LA is a different beast that the rest of the country, so take any advice from an out-of-towner with a huge grain of salt.

Around in LA i got a few quotes and best was $2k for a 2300 sqft house kitchen.
