I live in Venice Beach so I feel your pain.As far as wondering how the current owners are doing it out here, I believe the majority of owners most likely fall into two categories: 1. owners who bought a long time ago or the properties have been in their families for decades (Venice is huge for this, most owners bought in the 70s when the prices were awesome because Venice was scary to live in but now they are sitting on gold mines and not selling them) or 2. owners who are likely losing money on their properties but in their minds appreciation potential and/or the enjoyment factor of owning in LA prevent them from selling.

Enjoy the sun!

I enjoyed the doctors.....Lawyers were, well a pain in the ***.5) Been a 1099 or S Corp employee since 1986.

Enjoy!

Tabatha, I'm glad you enjoyed the course and learned lots.

I look to do things that I enjoy and have fun with it.

I do wish you luck and take some time to enjoy those girls.

Most people just enjoy the free time, but I am determined to get out of this mediocre life.

Hi C, I suggest you start by asking your zoning regulators there if this is possible.I suspect building below your tenant in a MH will violate their quiet enjoyment, maybe giving them free rent will keep them there until building is done.On 1 acre, wouldn't it be cheaper and as profitable just to drag in another MH and set it on a 1/2 acre?

I really enjoy the process of fixing up dilapidated homes.
