When I first started doing BRRR loans for investors in Los Angeles  for props in the Detroit market circa 2002 to 2004.. we did quite a few probably 150 or more..

Upstairs, unless I add an extra foot onto the ADU and have the engineers redo all their work, will need to have 30 inch vanities given the space the staircase takes up.These units in my area (Los Feliz, LA) are expected to rent for ~$4,000/mo each.

I own and operate 3 adult co-living/group homes in San Antonio, TX while living in Los Angeles.

But the mechanism exists right now. one of my clients in los Altos hills did what your describing.. dont know what he 1031 into but I know he did the 500k and the 1031 as you described.

As you may know, effective January 1, 2025, the Section 8 voucher payment standards (VPS) in many zip codes in the City (and County) of Los Angeles were reduced.

The area is also geographically constrained between the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, and the Wasatch Mountains, leading to the low supply in housing.The geography reminds me of coastal cities like Los Angeles, which are usually sandwiched between the ocean and the mountains.

Aloha Juan,There are a bunch of REI meetups in Los Angeles that you should attend to get plugged in. 

There was a company in Los Angeles that said they would issue tax sale title insurance for $5,000. 

Quote from @Matthew Estrada: Hello everyone,I recently read a post and wanted to share my experience with The “Flip System”, as I believe transparency is crucial when considering investments like this.I come from a blue-collar background as a first responder in Los Angeles, and I was drawn to Flip System due to the promise of having deals vetted and presented to me, as well as receiving education on how to fix and flip, implement the BRRRR strategy, and sell turnkey properties.
