Homes For Sale in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.

By | November 28th, 2017|An Agent's Life, Buyer Tip, Front Page, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes, Rancho Palos Verdes Lisitng Agent|

  Tuesday is tour day for new listings in Palos Verdes. This morning, the list is rather short due to entering the after Thanksgiving holiday countdown, and the seemingly permanent condition of inventory shortage for Palos Verdes and other cities in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Today, there is only one new listing I need to preview for a prospective buyer. However, on the upside, it's a gorgeous day, so perhaps as I meander along Palos Verdes Drive South, I will capture a few more coastal photos I can use on my blog to display the beauty of our [...]

2017 Real Estate Changes and Updates for California

By | March 1st, 2017|An Agent's Life, Buyer Tip, Front Page, Income Property, Los Angeles, Palos Verdes, Seller Tip|

I attended the Palos Verdes Board of Realtors March Breakfast meeting yesterday. Although breakfast was delicious, my primary reasoning for being there was to hear Gov Hutchison, California Association of Realtors’ attorney, speak regarding trends and changes reflected in California laws and real estate forms. Here are the latest updates:  There’s a new bedbug form. Yes, those little critters have arrived in our Golden State.  The new disclosure form states landlords must disclose if the property was inspected for bedbugs, and if so, the results of said inspection.  Tenants must tell landlord if the rental property becomes infected; landlord must [...]

South Bay Los Angeles Income Property – July 2015

By | July 17th, 2015|Beach Cities, Front Page, Income Property, Los Angeles, Palos Verdes|

The South Bay has residential investment units in most cities. Units occasionally come on the market in Palos Verdes and units in the Beach Cities tend to get snapped up fairly quickly. Torrance is still very popular with investors. The LA City rent control rules in San Pedro/Wilmington/Harbor City are a factor in keeping those areas competitive but the lower prices attract many first time investors. Income property of all types remains in high demand along the coast of the South Bay. Investors are going after the 4+ unit buildings, while owner-occupants and tear-down builders are focused on duplex and [...]

South Bay of Los Angeles Residential Income Property Sales YTD 2015

By | May 19th, 2015|Beach Cities, Buyer Tip, Front Page, Hermosa Beach, Income Property, Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Seller Tip|

I often recall the advice a speaker at a real estate investment seminar gave to the attendees.  "Make sure you can be there in two hours, even if you are using a management company for day-to-day decisions, and don't purchase in areas where you feel you should carry a gun when you check on your investment."  Still sound advice. Proximity is especially important for small investors who manage their own portfolio.  Maintenance issues may develop at any time without regard for the time of day or night.  Logistics are important whether you're simply cruising by for a visual check on [...]
