How I Work With Investors

01

Multifamily Acquisitions

Duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings across Los Angeles. I identify properties with genuine income potential, review rent rolls and expense history, and evaluate the physical and legal condition before you commit capital.

02

Rental Income Analysis

I analyze current and market rents, vacancy rates for the specific area and property type, and the relationship between gross rent and operating expenses. The goal is a clear picture of what a property actually produces, not what the listing claims.

03

Cash Flow Evaluation

Every investment decision requires understanding what you will net after debt service, taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, and vacancy. I work through the numbers with you before you make an offer, not after escrow opens.

04

ADU and Value-Add Potential

Los Angeles has one of the most active ADU markets in the country. I evaluate properties for ADU development potential, unpermitted unit legalization opportunities, and value-add improvements that affect rent and resale value.

05

Due Diligence

Physical inspections, permit history review, rent control status, tenant occupancy, and title review are all part of the process before you remove contingencies. I coordinate with inspectors and coordinate the disclosure review on your behalf.

06

Disposition Strategy

When it is time to sell, I bring the same analytical approach to pricing and marketing your investment property. That includes evaluating the buyer pool, timing, and whether a 1031 exchange structure serves your goals.

What Investors Need to Understand About Los Angeles

01

Rent Control Applies to Most Multifamily

Properties built before February 1, 1995 in the City of Los Angeles are generally subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO). This affects your ability to raise rents and the process for vacancy. Understanding rent control status is a prerequisite for any multifamily acquisition in the city.

02

Expense Ratios Vary Significantly by Property Type

A duplex in a Los Angeles neighborhood trades differently than a 10-unit building. Management costs, maintenance obligations, and tax treatment all differ. Gross rent multipliers and cap rates need to be evaluated against actual expenses for the specific property and tenant profile, not general market averages.

03

ADU Potential Can Change the Investment Case

California's ADU laws have made it significantly easier to add units on single-family and multifamily lots. A property that appears to be a standard single-family home may support one or two additional rental units depending on lot size, setbacks, and existing structures. This potential is not always reflected in the asking price.

04

Off-Market Properties Represent Real Opportunity

Motivated sellers of income-producing properties often prefer to transact quietly. An agent with an active investor buyer pool and direct relationships with property owners can source opportunities before they reach the MLS. This matters more for investment buyers than for any other buyer category.
