For example, in Los Angeles, part of a "good buy" could be location because we make it up on the appreciation down the line.It also depends on other factors like financing versus cash, SFR versus MFU, how long you intend to hold the property, etc.I would think about your goals and go from there.

That’s why lower cap rate markets, like San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle, or parts of the Bay Area, have produced far more millionaires through real estate than most high cap rate cash flow markets.So while cash flow is important, especially for covering expenses and holding power, investors focused on building wealth through real estate should understand the tradeoff between cap rate and appreciation, and think long-term. 

The top 3 cities were coastal CA cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego).my market is San Diego.  

I’m currently based in Los Angeles and planning to move within the next year to either Charlotte, Tennessee, or Texas.

Here’s what the numbers actually showForeign direct investment in Mexican real estate grew over 24% last year, tourism broke records again in 2024 in places like Riviera Maya, Los Cabos and Vallarta and the infrastructure isn’t just talk anymore, Tren Maya and the new Tulum airport are already running and moving people every dayYes, prices have increased but demand hasn’t gone anywhereOccupancy rates remain strong in key vacation markets and rental income if managed right can still outperform what most U.S. investors get at home. 

I took another LOs word for it who does more business in TX than me.

I personally believe a 2 year hold in Los Angeles is likely to produce a negative return.  

I moved here from Los Angeles (not a great place to invest) 3 years ago specifically for the real estate market here.
