I have been looking for an In-Person Real Estate Investor Meetup Group close to Redondo Beach.

Happy to share more data and insights.

Some previous deals I shared came out to be complete duds!

When it comes to the actual purchase, you might be able to {gradually} purchase shares of the business (depending on how it is set up and the appetite of the owners) rather than an all out purchase.  

As people transition to our area, they book our place to coincide with completing construction, sale/purchase of housing, etc…so, #1 location#2, growth of the economy, influx of jobs, etc#3, don’t laugh…have your house well decorated and take pro pictures to share.  

Obviously I don't have much to offer currently in terms of local knowledge but I love connecting and sharing info and plan to be a valuable and helpful part of the investor community there. 

I'm personally trying to get outta this hell hole, but others seem to like it here. 

Again, i might be wrong but I've done my fair share of transactions across dozens of states (NY included) and a seller concession has always been interpreted as a seller's contribution to the buyers closing costs or principal purchase amount. 

Win-win.Unless you have a whole lot of personal debt I would not worry about the car loan.Once you take care of the cash reserves I would move on to #2 and acquire your next property.  

The repair service person did not show up Monday - so I told the tenant I was rescheduling for Tuesday.
