Another investment property or primary condo in LA next?

[Eric Samuels]

My partner and I are trying right now. She’s in her late 30s so we want to prioritize having kids over anything. She’s always been a renter as well and one of her biggest goals is to own property. We live in LA and I have a duplex back in Philly where I’m from. My goal is to increase investment properties in the smartest way possible and an expensive condo in LA might not be the best next step for my real estate journey but makes a lot of sense for my life. We’re not rushing into purchasing anything but are looking. I feel like I just need to look just as hard for investment properties as I am for condos and whichever opportunity comes up first we should have a conversation about. Then we could make the decision together. Wanted to hear some thoughts outside of the two of us.

Thanks,
