Foreigner Wishing to Invest in Los Angeles

[Dale Hsu]

Hello BP community. 

I am a foreigner that is currently looking to invest in the Los Angeles real estate market to hold for cash flow. I would appreciate any form of information regarding the current Los Angeles market regarding recommendation, strategies, real estate agents. 

I would also like to know if bank financing is available to foreigners and how would that work? If I choose to rent my real estate or eventually sell it, how would the tax work? Who can I consult regarding this matter. 

Thank you very much! Any help is appreciated.
