I am interested in buying another single-family home in Los Angeles to rent out.

I'll be moving for work on an international relocation in 1 year, and plan to keep my primary residence and rent it out (Assignment will be for 2-3 years).

Purchase price: $360,000 Cash invested: $22,000 3 unit home in Upton Marble Hill. 2 of 3 Units are rented and bringing in $2400 a month in gross revenue.

Can rents be increased or are they at market?
