Make sure you get a place that will treat guests right.

Security gave me (and my overnights) lots of hassle back in the day.

Seriously..at that orice point..why not just buy a house?
My mortgage is 2,900 on my SD house & 1,000 on my cabin..why pay someone else so they can gain equity?

If you can, just buy GINA, even if itโ€™s with an FHA 3% loan

Home owners don't tell you about all the bullshit that comes with home ownership. You use a large portion of your savings for a down payment, have initial large mortgage payments, have taxes on top of taxes, insurance, oh and the maintenance is your responsibility (roof, windows, pipes, foundation, flooring, landscape, etc.). It's good for generational wealth though (you can leave the property to children, spouse, relatives, etc.). And in ten years that initial large mortgage payment will seem like a little.

If you can afford a nice rental, I say do that instead. You can save your money and bail after the lease is up if you don't like it.

Buy in Vegas or Phoenix and commute back and forth. Then you can have a proper work life balance.

"Glendale smells of drakkar" You say that as if it's a bad thing. You probably stink the place up when you walk into town.


"Buy in Vegas or Phoenix and commute back and forth. Then you can have a proper work life balance." This is actually good advice. You can vacation over here when it gets too hot. You just need a reliable ride.

My comment was intended to be sarcastic. I love the Inland Empire. It's a hidden gem. There's a lot to do out here people don't realize. And a lot of high profile people actually live out here. But yes, the IE is not as popular as LA or Orange county areas.

There are very few good spots by the metro rail lines, Redondo, El Segundo, Downey, LBC, DTLA, Hollywood (iffy), Studio City, West LA, Santa Monica, and San Gabriel. And some spots don't have nice newer Apartments.
