Los Angeles: 90% of Realtors Shouldn’t Be Advising Investors
***
Los Angeles investors need to be careful when going out of state because 90% of Realtors should not be advising investors. A lot of them don’t own rentals, don’t understand Section 8, don’t know how evictions really work, don’t know the difference between a cheap house and a good deal, and they sure as hell don’t have the boots-on-the-ground team needed to protect you. Scammers and posers love targeting LA investors with cheap Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Memphis, Dayton, and Akron houses because compared to Los Angeles prices, everything looks like a steal. But cheap does not mean profitable. If your Realtor has never owned rental property, never dealt with tenants, and is just chasing a commission, that is a massive red flag.
