Los Angeles real estate can be quite the adventure to navigate... expensive, confusing, competitive, the list goes on! When Carla approached us to help her find a home she had already been hitting roadblocks and had some experiences that made her feel unsure about how to approach the home buying process. With some consultation from us and encouragement on how to get her into a "home-mortgage helper" property (totally not a real estate term), we were off to the races with a better set of numbers for her to work with!
Carla snagged this fantastic multi-unit property in Westlake/Echo Park in Los Angeles. As a savvy homebuyer, we helped her navigate this tricky hot and cold market where bidding wars still are common for well marketed properties, yet diamonds like the one she landed can be swooped up when no one’s looking :).
The story is, there is potential everywhere, but getting into a property that allows you to have income while living there is a smart way to make the numbers work and increase your budget in a high cost of living city. Buying a multi-unit investment, that has two freestanding homes on a lot (no shared walls!) was an incredible deal. She’s got even more big plans for this property to increase her income potential, and we’re excited to see the progress. We’re proud to work with Carla in her acquisition, and look forward to continuing to advise her throughout her home-owning journey!

"As a first time homebuyer, the process of buying home was little intimidating. I was referred to Christine and chose her as my agent which was one of the best decisions I made. She has so much knowledge and insight. She gave me the confidence and guidance I needed to successfully purchase my first home."
