Hi Donna,As Tom said above, you can find the current status of an owner's property tax at the Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector website:1. 

You could walk the streets of your neighborhood, contact several investor friendly agents and research biggerp[ockets for more info.For instance, 50k in Los Angeles, would not get you a mobile home, but could be a down payment on a condominium.

I do have positive cash flow with 2 properties one neutral and one negative due to it being blue chip and bough a month ago which I know will turn in positive in the coming.

I haev thought about buying an investment in a SDIRA but I self manage and like to do everuything myself so I think this would create complications.It's good IMp to be well diversified own Real Estate as well as Blue chip stocks that pay a nice dividend,, bonds and other securities that give you a nice return.best regards,Chris

Probably not any different then any of the blue collar towns you would invest in down in the US.

@Manuel Angeles welcome to BP bud. 

If you are in a neighborhood with 70K-120K homes, which I think would be a decent blue collar area, you would need to get $1400-$2400/month?  

It's always great to get know another Los Angeles investor.

Most lenders will tell you they would like to get to know you before you come to them out of the blue with a  deal so get on the phone and start building the relationship. 

This is rent control in Los Angeles, and non-owner occupied.
