I live in Los Angeles and am looking to make my first real estate investment - I've decided on a duplex but the Los Angeles market is extremely expensive and doesn't seem to make sense.

@Jeffrey De Los Santos thanks for your detailed response, exactly what I was looking for!

Hi BP Family,My group is looking for agents and brokers in Los Angeles to join forces with.

The unit has no washer or dryer machine and is located in south Los Angeles.

Yes, I have a lot more photos, see the listing online via zillow, trulia, etc. 4161 Garden Ave Los AngelesIt is currently in escrow and will close next month.

I am interested in investing in multifamily apartments outside Los Angeles. 

Hello BP Family:I have gotten some great advice from my previous forums, and was wondering if anyone is in my situation, I live in Los Angeles, an area not great for rental properties, prices to high, laws not favorable to landlords, etc. and am looking to finance my first rental property outside of my state, I have saved up roughly 20k, my credit is good, but not sure what my next move should be, I would like to get close to or above $200.00 in cash flow, so far all I can think of is to use a credible turnkey company after locating the right area, I would appreciate any advice form anyone who has gone through a similar situation, and made a wise move and is seeing great results.Thank You BP family

Have heard horror stories but it seems that the deals to look at currently are not in Los Angeles where I live.Looking to purchase a multi family in the 2.5 million zone.Worried a management company and unscrupulous people will kill my cash flow.Would a triple net property be better?
