I live on the westside. Would be surprised if you could get a 1BR for less than $2000. Although I'm sure there's the occasional deal

like

$1500 maybe. $2100 comfortably. Really depends on how fancy and how close to the fun stuff.

like

$1200-$1500 with a roommate. $1800 solo. Might luck out in mar Vista or palms. Great areas and near lots of stuff including train into sm.

You will not be able to save if you are spending more than 1700 on your accommodation. You need savings

@AD2 the 56k was from the last full time job that ended about a year ago, been freelancing since, and 85k is a new full time gig.

Thx! @Director1 living situation’s not the best rn and as nice as the extra savings would be, sanity and comfort in my home would be nicer

like

@red do you live in sm or playa? If so that's why. Brentwood, culver, palms and Mar Vista all usually have spots for $1800 for a 1 br. It also helps if you don't move in the summer.

Yes - to clarify - currently on the Westside and wanting to stay in this general vicinity (west, culver, marina, etc) for friends/gym/commute. Been paying 1200 on what was a 56k salary and I know that’s not reasonable to expect for a new place

Woah. 85k as a promotion or new job? If so, can you share where?

Congrats to you!!

Congrats on the new gig! Can you keep living in your current apt and pocket/invest savings?

Hey everyone, I’m a new investor and would love feedback on my portfolio. I’m looking more for longer holds with maybe a couple short plays just to stay in tune with the market. Any advice on improvements is very welcomed! So far I’ve kept slightly in the green thanks to JPM but want to see those larger gains everyone talks about.
