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?

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Hanna Zhang: I’m a fix-and-flip investor based in Los Angeles, CA, and I want to share a disappointing and frustrating experience I had with MoFin Lending, which I hope will help others avoid similar situations.A few months ago, I was contacted by the founder of MoFin Lending via email.

West Los Angeles (Mar Vista, Santa Monica, Del Rey)

A few key things you’ll want to focus on are:RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) – the core metric for valuing operations.Occupancy trends and ADR (Average Daily Rate) – these drive your revenue projections.Expense ratio and management structure – smaller motels can run at 40–50% expenses, while flagged hotels can be much leaner with scale.CapEx and reposition potential – if it’s a rehab, understanding brand standards and conversion costs (for example, turning an independent motel into a soft-branded flag) can make or break the deal.My partner and I have underwritten several hotel/motel projects in the Los Angeles area, so I’m happy to share some insight into how we typically structure the analysis and what lenders look for in this space.

Your salespeople are going to depend on you for an office space, marketing materials, credit, LOS systems, CRM systems, and etc.. 

Here's what has worked with some LOs in the past:35% commission on company gen leads with a minimum gross comp of ~$2500 (case by case)65% commission on personal gen leads with a minimum gross comp of ~$2500I work in a very expensive region so the loans are large, but in areas of smaller loan amounts, maybe the minimum comp should be lower for them to get paid normally. 

I'm looking around  Los Angeles or neighboring areas of it. 

Not advertising a deal, just trying to understand what “market” looks like.Hypothetical (but based on a real situation):- Location: Central Los Angeles, Jefferson Park–type area- Asset: Existing 4-unit multifamily on a single parcel- Context: Within walking distance (~0.5 miles) of an E Line / K Line rail station, so it appears to fall into a transit-oriented development (TOD) pocket that should benefit from SB 79 upzoning (higher minimum density / height / FAR if standards are met)- Ownership: Held in a family trust tied to a probate / conservatorship, with a court-supervised mandate to (a) preserve the asset and (b) use it to support an elderly beneficiaryThe family side can realistically contribute **land only**; they don’t have the balance sheet or cash to run a full entitlement + construction process.

For a 1 bedroom 1 bath midterm rental in Los Angeles, what do tenants think about having a large toaster oven and cooktop/hotplate, as compared with an integrated (i.e. normal) oven+stove?
