An investor bought a home in our neighborhood and made it into an assisted living facility much to the chagrin of the neighbors directly surrounding the home.

After doing a very comprehensive search through various LA neighborhoods for both turnkey & fixer-uppers, going from Inglewood/Hawthorne to NoHo to East LA (Boyle Heights, Lincoln Heights, etc.), I've realized it's incredibly difficult to find qualified investments.

I can probably get about $1400/mo in rent, so it fits the 1% and 50% rules.  1) If I were to do a cash-out refinance, my understanding is that I would affirm that I plan to stay in it for 12 months. 

What is the buyers market for these neighborhoods? 

I did click vinyl in one unit and it’s still great in year 7 but last 3 years it’s all reinforced friction fit (or glued, The point is not click-lock). ... and that’s all in pet friendly (including dogs) units.

I could probably fit about 6-10 desks in a particular location I am interested in.I have not reached out to the owner to find out if this is ok to do, I simply do not need the space but wouldn't mind renting out extra desks to others which would also happen to be in the same field as me.Am I even allowed to do this?

My uncle has a rental prop in an up & coming neighborhood that he wants to sell to fund his retirement.

I’ve had them go to auction less than a week before closing.But, I’ve also had banks pay off $10,000 property tax assessments for neighborhood improvements, just by asking.

Neighborhood looks beautiful with all these magnificent, modern-looking apartment structures here in Koreatown, Los Angeles. 

Four families in Ridgewood built in the 1920's, and the neighborhood is no comparison to that.
