I would think it's no different than a shop owner having a vehicle towed that blocks a loading dock or improperly parked on their property.Jeff V

I'm encouraged now that you mention Central Avenue, because that is only a 2 blocks away.

By staying on top of your own deals and staying organized yourself it will only help streamline the process and make it less painful for everyone.

Some areas are incredible and safe while some areas are completely updated yet only blocks from pretty bad crime areas.

Also, Dennis Block who specializes in dealing with landlord/tenant/rent control issues in the LA area has a solid lease agreement on his website under free forms. 

Landscaping could eat up 1/2, unless you're willing to let it go and have the ugliest house on the block. 

. $45k for a 1610 sq/ft block home on great 3/4 acre of land, currently 3/2 but there is a permitted addition that is 23 x 12 feet and I will convert it into 2 additional bedrooms.

Hesperides, that I have spent six months repairing, there are ten houses within two blocks, For Sale and none of them have Flyers in front, or do Open Houses on the weekends and none of them has Sold.

Block was nice.

For those looking to buy turnkeys, Chris and company have been around this block a couple thousand times, over 2000 sfrs I think and can help steer you in a better TK direction and location.
