Im an investor in the Whittier area on multi-family properties. In saying that, it is almost impossible to find an investment property that will cashflow using an FHA loan. If you can find a property that is distressed, rehab it, then use market rents, you may be able to cashflow. I house hacked my first property and it has been a good use. Im not sure about out of state properties, but I use @Felix Esqueda to find properties that are not on the MLS and he has always come through.

Hey Christopher,
I invest in Whittier/Pico Rivera area and my colleagues and I always go with Matt Ponce. He is stationed in Whittier and is an active investor himself. He has a few multi-properties listed right now and always has great insight. Here is his Yelp page, I left a review myself.

I have a duplex that has floor gas heaters. The heater is on the floor (see picture) and connects to the front and back unit. Last week, the heater was spraying out black ash type debris. I called the gas company to have a look and they said that it would have to be replaced.
The gas company guy said that I may have to close the floor heater and invest in a wall unit.
Has anyone experienced something like this and/or recommend someone that could repair this issue???
Im in the Los Angeles and Southern California area.
