I'm originally from Los Angeles and I'm working on getting a team together to make the management much easier.  

After days of reading up on BP forums, I've finally decided to join.I am from Woodland Hills (Los Angeles area).

Los Angeles and $50k appreciation per year?

I had this offer on a 5 acre tract in Northern CA.. the Agent this time listing agent was gone and no one was covering for him and he was going to be gone for 2 weeks well being 25 and highly motivated I figured out who owned it.. and contacted them directly and told them Hey your agent is non responsive so I am calling you.. ( somewhat of a violation I know but at 25 and hungry I did not care)  We put the deal together the seller liked my gumption and he turned out to own a software company in Silicon Valley lived in a mansion in Los Altos hills and we ended up doing deals together before he bought his 100 foot sail boat and left the country to sale the world..

I have a duplex in Los Angeles and I am having some trouble with my tenants in the front.

Average Median House price in Orange County [just south of Los Angeles] is hitting close to $800k. 

@Swat Khan I don't know of anyone doing this in Los Angeles.

I can close those that you do not want.Looking for Southern California (Los Angeles County only), Las Vegas, TX, & AZ"Foreclosures are oaky, but I've noticed that the vast majority have little or no equity."

And this is why in late-2020 in Los Angeles when I was preparing to sell my house a few people told me I should instead rent it out and I would typically laugh at them as there was zero chance I would ever consider landlording in L.A. 

With its beautiful desert scenery and close proximity to Los Angeles, it is an attractive destination for many people.
