Hello Jay please let me know what your price point is for lease . Best way to communicate would be via e-mail and then I could send you listings that are in your price and location parameters.

Hi Emily,
A great place to find a rental in that price range is at a website called www.padmapper.com . It is free and I am sure you can find what you are looking for.

Stay away from the big banks. So many hoops to jump through you will feel like a circus dog. And you will likely NOT close in 30 days. If you need recommendations for mortgage brokers or direct lenders who are not B of A, give me a call!

Contacting the local police department would be your best source as they would be able to provide you with crime statistics for that area.

Most two bedrooms average around $2600-$2800 per month on the west side of Los Angeles, the only way is to either expand your search location, increase your price point or work with one Realtor who is willing to focus on your needs.

John, you need to find out if there is even a way to save a house that still matters to you before you resort to selling it. You may need advice on ALL your options not just from people who want to sell it from under your. You need to hear about loan modifications and bankruptcies that can restructure you finances and save what you might want to save. Our team of two short sale and foreclosure-prevention specialists have personally closed hundreds of shortsales between the two of us even before people knew what shortsales were. we know most major banks' quirks and policies and exploit the weaknesses in their systems to benefit the client because our sales are handled not by assistant processors, but we DONT EVER take on the listing until we first offer the client a comprehensive FREE consultation with our IN-house BK/foreclosure legal Partner/CEO who used to be a litigator FOR the banks at Sheppard Mullin . ( look them up). Also our head listing agent ( Alex) is so well versed in BK she's practically an unlicensed legal practicing as a strategic realtor. The legal advice from the in-house atty... is a free service that we give to all our potential shortsale clients because we think that short selling a home to avoid foreclosure is the last irreversible resort... and if we can find a way to save the client's home rather than sell it, then karma comes through business either through referral or on the legal end anyway . That's the strength of our practice -- the attorney's office is Literally married to the Real Estate office in more ways than one. This offering of a two-discipline consultation is the holistic path we tread everyday to really do what's right for the client. As a short sale specialist, i tell you, DO NOT short sell unless you are truly and fully detached from a toxic property. not when property values are rising 6- 10% annually as we speak.... and especially not when you can restructure the debt or force the banks on their knees to deal with you in the right BK filing ( 7, 11, or 13) or if your personal circumstances are better suited to a loan modification ( which our team also offers).
Wouldnt you rather hear from people who are more than just realtors trying to get at their commission?

1 bedrooms can be a little tough but if you look at the prices for decent one bedrooms in west hollywood..you'll see that it makes sense to buy. You must factor in HOA fees, taxes, and insurance and make sure you can comfortable afford the condo. The thing about renting is that if it becomes a problem you can break a lease, but selling a property takes time and can land you in hot water if it becomes too much to handle.
Make a list of your expenses and the income coming in get a clear picture of your expenses. I would also speak to a mortgage expert who can give you some realistic numbers to consider before you can make a clear decision of buying vs. renting.
Feel free to contact me.

My honest opinion would be to continue saving and wait.
I wouldn't suggest putting all your money into a $100,000 condo at the same time as taking on debt for a condo that, if in West Hollywood, will be in a subpar building and won't really be all that desirable to many people. I would advise you to find a modest place to rent and continue to save your money to put into a better condo in a few years time.
You are still very young and have done extremely well to be in the position you are, but think what two years, a steady job and wise saving could do for you. A good first time buy condo, in a desirable location, in a quality building you ideally want to be looking in the $200,000 range.
Check out my website realrealtyla.wordpress.com and check out a stunning, fully updated unit in a great part of LA that just hit the market today for $205,000. These are the sorts of units you can get if you continue saving for a little longer.
If you have any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email me at Realrealtyla@gmail.com. I also have a profile on Trulia that includes some of my previous blog posts, recommendations etc.
Best of luck,

Jane Peter's answer is to the point and a great answer. Licensed real estate agents know of insurance and policies and coverage, but we aren't licensed insurance agents.
Ask your insurance agent and do it now! If you are conducting business why aren't you figuring this stuff out on your own?!? Do you want to have your insurance policy cancelled, or a claim of injury denied because you didn't figure this stuff out PRIOR to conducting business?!? I'm sure you consider yourself to be a savvy business person . . .and yet . . . you open yourself up for huge liability. Amazing to me, simply amazing.... more
Hello Tom,
In order to find which homes are PENDING sales, you will need to have a realtor check the MLS for you.
The MLS info will be up to date. If you check some consumer based web sites the info you find may not be current.
Best of Luck to Yoy,

I am a Realtor and not a lender. Off the top it appears that the loan looks good .BUT There are other factors to consider.
- Borrower's annual income for last 2 years
- Debt to Income Ratio ( in other words what are the monthly debts divided by monthly income)
I would check with a local direct lender for pre-approval. They will gather all financial information needed for pre-approval. With pre-approval buyers know loan amount, down payment, sale price and etc..

Yes. There is a vibrant community in West Hollywood for families. I recommend looking near the West Hollywood Community Center in the Ethnic Russian Community.
Dear Laura,
Yes the CC&R's can be enforced by the association. Many feel that too many "rentals' means a lack of care and concern for the property by the tenants. It's also an issue when buyers try to obtain loans. You are a voting member of the association and if you feel the rules should be changed, you are free to voice that opinion at the meetings.... more
