Hi BP, Does anyone have experience in the "re-zoning" process in Los Angeles (City)? Otherwise known as making a General Plan Amendment? Due to the housing shortage here, it seems LA would be favorable to such things, but of course, there is still the time, money, and navigating through City offi...
Hey guys, I have a house for rent in Lancaster, CA. I've been trying to get tenants, but I can't find any. I've posted the house on FB market, Craigslist, Apartments for rent, and next door. Craigslist keeps rejecting it, and so do apartments for rent and Zillow. I don't know where else to market...
It feels like midterm rentals (30–90+ days) are getting a lot more attention lately with traveling nurses, insurance stays, remote workers, corporate relocations, etc. From what I’ve seen managing properties, MTRs sit in an interesting middle ground: Less volatility and wear and tear than short t...

I’ve been hosting open houses every weekend in Ventura, and I’m noticing an interesting trend: buyers are increasingly willing to commute to Los Angeles just 2–3 days a week in exchange for a better quality of life. COVID helped kick-start this shift, as people rethought where and how they wanted...
Hello all! I am investigating starting my own property management company in Los Angeles. If you were to use my services, what would you like to get, and what services are overrated?

Hi. I am from Los Angeles, CA. I have not worked with anyone who does DSCR loans. Do you guys have any recommendations? There are a lot of companies when I search in google and not really sure who to go with. Thank you.
Ventura is still one of the more affordable coastal markets between San Diego and Santa Barbara, and there are quite a few older homes with significant upside through renovation. I’m seeing a ton of interest from LA buyers as well. At the open houses I’ve been doing, it feels like 75% of the visi...

This is not a minor case of a tenant's car(s) leaking oil on a driveway. The tenant was trying to repair cars as a business on the property and spilled various automotive fluids over much of the driveway and concrete parking areas. Far beyond "normal wear and tear" and I have pictures of what thi...

Ground-up construction offers some of the highest potential returns in real estate, but it also carries the highest risk profile for lenders. 📈 Unlike a standard fix-and-flip where a physical structure stands as collateral on Day 1, ground-up starts with dirt. 🚜 If you want your construction loan...
A real estate business can have a good property, a good offer, and a decent advertising budget and still struggle to turn online attention into sales. So I looked at the journey a typical lead takes: Facebook Ad → Landing Page → WhatsApp → Agent → Viewing → Sale On the surface, it looks simple. B...

Real estate agents love talking about traffic. More website visitors. More Instagram views. More Google clicks. More people seeing their listings. But here's the uncomfortable question: What happens after they arrive? Because 10,000 visitors mean very little if 9,900 of them leave without taking ...
