I am familiar with investing in rough areas my first investment property was in the west bronx (yankee stadium) area in the mid 90s.

@Aaron Mazzrillo  one of my mid west vendors that I fund.. is going to make a run in Compton.. he figures the location is just to strong not to start to turn around and with the new stadium etc.your thoughts.. ???

I remember not long ago when that part of DC (near RFK/Stadium Armory) was “undesirable” to some.

At the time I tried to convince these clients that while there may be a recession there are still good deals to be found in the market and that if purchased correctly there would be good appreciation going forward.Today on espn.com there was an article that discussed the LA Clippers building their new stadium in Inglewood, CA and the amount of money they will be putting back into Inglewood. 

The new soccer stadium development is going to double the size of the city's current downtown.

With the new soccer stadium coming in and Kaiser doing the city a major solid with homelessness funding, the next 10 years will make a lot of millionaires!

I work downtown near Golden One, which they’ve built up like crazy and there are future plans that include a soccer stadium and medical facility.

Since the stadium is under construction, places like Inglewood are still a feeding frenzy, while other areas are cooling off, or just flattened out. 

It was a noteworthy step in the construction of the stadium that will serve as the centerpiece of the city’s Franklin Urban Sports and Entertainment District.

(And I don't feel ready yet to take on a rehab out of state, as I'm building my team here in LA)MY QUESTION - Taking into consideration the Crenshaw/LAX Metro line opening in 2020 (which drastically changing the Crenshaw corridor all the down through Inglewood to LAX) as well as the LA Rams stadium opening in 2020, along with the renting housing shortage in Los Angeles :Do you like Hawthorne, Torrance, Southgate, Inglewood, Long Beach markets?
