That's my goal for this year.The one thing about Los Angeles that most investors OOS don't recognize is the crazy equity play potential...unlike many other states.   

However, recognizing that there are questions you may not have even thought to ask yet is a step in the right direction.

Take all the experience you've gained looking at and analyzing all the too expensive deals this past year to help you recognize your great deal when you finally uncover it. 

Break these things down and ask questions to help you get to the point where you can recognize a good deal when it pops up.

You are on the right track, especially if you can recognize the tax advantages that real estate investing has to offer.

More often than not, it takes education to be able to recognize a great/lucky deal.It also requires preparedness, as an example if there is a 10 million dollar property for sale for 5 million I still couldn't pull the trigger on that lucky deal because I am not prepared to make a 5 million dollar purchase.
