Hi LA 🐠! Will be moving next month to start a new job. I’d like to rent a 2 BR house with a garden, not too far away from restaurants and shops (ideally walkable) Budget is between 3-5k. Which areas should I be looking at? Work is in Westwood

What BS1 said plus Venice and Brentwood. It really is about what vibe you want. For a 2BR it’s going to be closer to 5k than 3k on the west side.

Definitely Brentwood, Santa Monica, Rancho Park, Beverlywood, West LA. A good 2BR apartment is 2-3k, but if you want a yes and garden, it’ll be closer to 4-5k.

Brentwood

+1 to Brentwood, Westwood, SM. Sawtelle may also work and might be a little cheaper (I lived there).

For pricing reference, I own a 2br/1ba house (<1000 sq ft) in Mar Vista that I am currently renting for $5k/mo. That leads me to believe it would be tough to get the same in the more premium markets mentioned above (Santa Monica, Venice, Brentwood, etc) within your price range. Maybe looks for a duplex or a ground floor apartment with some outdoor space? Or explore Culver City, Rancho Park, Mar Vista, etc.

This. You likely won’t get a house in Santa Monica or Venice in your price range but you can likely get a nice townhome with outdoor space.

Mortgage on even the cheapest 2B standalone homes on the west side is going to be 6K so I don’t see how rentals are going to be much lower than that.

If you are ok with a shared yard, check out the townhomes at Park La Brea.

On track to max out my 401k and will max my Roth IRA next month. I think I’ll have about 3k to invest by the end of this year before I can start putting contributions toward my 2022 Roth IRA. What do you guys think is the best place for that 3k? Should I max out my 401k faster? Diversify more into crypto (about 1/7 of my network)? One note is that I can’t do mega backdoor Roth.

Couple notes on my situation.

35k in equity (14k in 401k, 16k in Roth IRA, 5k I’m crypto)
11k in debt
