When I was living in LA I had my eye on San Pedro as a real up-and-coming area that's undergone a rapid transformation in the last few years; if I'd bought for an investment in LA, that's probably where I would've gone.  

With single digit temps & the ONLY HVAC guys I would EVER use booked a week out, I had to do it myself.I replace the $120 hydronic solenoid head while the boiler was running & then had to find a replacement for a cooked $60 Class 2 24v transformer that's apparently only available on-line or at an obscure HVAC store several miles away. 

Best of luck on your endeavors!

I wish you the best in your real estate endeavors.   

I have lived here my whole life and have seen Portland transform from the City of Roses to the City of Tents and Trash.

Good luck in your endeavors.

I will take a look at some local lenders but will definitely have Live Oak in the back pocket for future endeavors.

Blessings on your investing endeavors!

Lots of exciting transformation and development here in the downtown Oceanside area over the past decade, and seems poised to continue.
