ALMOST A FREE HOUSE! We don’t hear these words very often. Besides sounding kinda silly, that’s probably because a home is usually the most widely desired and most expensive item that the average person will ever pay for. Even if we are fortunate enough to inherit a residence or to otherwise get one without paying for it, we would still need to pay for taxes and insurance. So the question is: How close can we get to receiving a free house? Besides inheriting real estate or winning it in some kind of raffle, the closest things to a free house is getting a good deal on a home, perhaps little or no money down, or maybe even a full 20% down and then having a positive cash flow so that we receive more money every month than we pay out toward the property. Now we are getting a bit closer to what can really be accomplished when looking in the right place. #realestate #investment
Add the fact that real estate can appreciate forever, and then realize that we can receive ever-increasing monthly rental income that turns into a growing retirement fund, it’s no wonder that real estate is the best investment that most will ever make.
The L.A. Loft Blog correctly pointed out in 2011 and succinctly phrased that Downtown real estate was “almost free.” Those who saw the truth and the value at the time have been rewarded. Many purchased then Downtown lofts for $125,000 to $250,000, rented them out at a positive cash flow, and enjoyed watching the properties grow to values of $400,000 to $500,000 in just a few years. That truly is almost free, and quite possibly could be called better than free.
While Downtown does not offer the same opportunity today, opportunities can always be found when we are open to seeing them and seizing them at the right place and right time:
Brother Andy says that Downtown Los Angeles represents the future of art.
His Grace invites us all to enter the world of a visionary. He is a Writer, Film-maker, Fine Artist, Interior Designer, Photographer and Fashionista. Provocative uber-artist (an artist skilled in over five different media), Brother Andy is a prolific auteur film-maker with over 350 films on Youtube, over 100,000 photographic images as a photgrapher, plus countless paintings and sculptures as a fine artist to his credit. His digital collage image, ‘Jesus Chimp’, is considered by some to be a masterpiece of the Intriguism Art Method (‘retro-futurism’), a creative process which he developed. The energetic creator produced highly-effective educational films for people with cognitive disabilities. A master interior decorator, brother andy helps Downtown loft owners to decorate to deliver a powerfully pleasing first impression and quickly improve the resale value when owners want to enhance the look and, feel and the ultimate selling price.
His background extends into feature films (producing hundreds of films, including six feature films in the last seven years as writer, producer, editor, and director), television (with appearances on ABC, local news stations in every Southern California major city), stage and live events, music videos and theme parks, as well as Visual Merchandising for several leading retail stores, private interior design clients and web site design. As an ‘artist whisperer’, Brother Andy has collaborated with hundreds of artists. He is also a strident advocate of nudism, feminism and animal rights. His motto is: ‘To educate and entertain, to encourage and inspire…’
The creative line for Downtown L.A. goes back to the 1970s. User-Artist Brother Andy says that the imaginative materials produced by Downtown LA are outside the box. He says Angelino artists are not deconstructionalists and not negative in their vision and works; rather they see and create a positive type of future in their artwork that is both abstratct and visionary. Compare the L.A. art scene to New York City where artists are trying harder to be seen, and contract it with artists of Europe who are busy trying to keep traditions going. His Grace says that the art culture of California is much more positive and it is about the experience. The works of Downtown artists more reflect the personality of the artists. California has so many things to do, thus myriad California adventures are part of the art. In fact, Andy says that the California state tourism board should make their next TV commercial about the artists of Downtown Los Angeles because they represent the essence of California reflecting through their work.
DTLA artists are cutting-edge, are not nasty or negative, but very upbeat according to His Grace. Beginning in the 1970s, California artists pioneered bright acrylics that are especially reflective and filled with light. Southern California, like Italy, features art infused with soft light. Artists worldwide come to Los Angeles for its natural light. Other key ingredients of the Downtown Los Angeles art scene are derived from the SoCal lifestyle: about the food, wine
— showing that the local area art is primarily about culture. Exploding in importance for the whole world, the Downtown L.A. art scene reflects a deep understanding of art and life, according to Brother Andy. He says that the new Broad Museum is different from museums of New York City and elsewhere because the modern art museum is traditional only in that it is an exhibition, and unlike traditional museums, the Broad is cutting edge regarding today’s lifestyle.
Artist Brother Andy was a pioneer in the fledgling haunted house industry of the 1970s, creating ghoulish comedy character Armando Creeper. The artist later went on to co-found a new art movement called Intriguism. See his new film just released called Dr. Invisible free online at https://youtu.be/UTxytPjkSQU.
