The renaissance and renewal of Downtown provides an exceptional investment as the place where young professionals are moving to in droves.  Downtown offers the best of growth due to its new transportation infrastructure, and the best walking neighborhoods to shopping and entertainment.

The quickest method of determining investment value is to add purchase price, HOA dues plus parking cost, and compare the total cost to the lease value. A less accurate criteria used by investors is previous gains on investment. This Top Ten List uses the practical method of anecdotal studies by local Downtown real estate professionals, showing which buildings have demonstrated that they have the most satisfied buyers due to overall financial results.

  1. Barker Block – The quality historic industrial lofts with resort-style amenities such as its famous rooftop deck with stunning view, super low HOA dues in the coolest neighborhood in the world, the Arts District.
  2. Molino Street Lofts – Across the street from Barker Block, the large and varied Molino Street industrial lofts share in the growth of the hip neighborhood.
  3. Bunker Hill Tower – The luxury tower built in the late 60’s continues to prove itself for nearly 50 years as the safe, clean and quiet condo with amazing views of Downtown to the Hollywood sign.  The relatively high HOA dues provide free utilities and top luxury amenities, including 2.5 acres of beautiful grounds with planned modernization.

Investing and Gaining Big in Downtown LA

The largest investors in Downtown Los Angeles have been placing bets of $100 million to $1 billion.

How much are you betting on Downtown LA?  You don’t need a billion; there are still great investments for less than $400,000.  The rewards are huge.  Here are some examples:

After a great deal of looking, consideration and due diligence, investment professional John M. purchased an industrial loft in Downtown in 2012 while prices were still depressed, buyers were still generally broke or afraid, and, to top it off, the loft building was involved in a lawsuit.  John got assistance from an experienced Downtown loft specialist team of agents who were able to tell John exactly what was happening in the distressed industrial loft building.  The loft purchase made about $250,000 profit in equity for John in less than 3 years. Needless to say, John is extremely happy with his Downtown investment that.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”  —  Chinese proverb

The slowpokes who waited several years to buy only made a meager $50,000 to $100,000 in equity in the last year or two.  They did much better than the average Downtown renter who lost about $60,000 in the past year or so when you add the rent paid to the lost opportunity cost by not owning.  For those who did not buy real estate during the last 3 years, I hope that they invested in something other than their landlord’s mortgage.

Whether you plan to live there, flip or rent out, Downtown investors have best return on their investment when they know which loft and condo buildings make the best investments, which lenders will lend on a commercial or industrial loft conversion, and what is going on with the lawsuits involved with more than 20% of the listings.

Traditionally, the best investments have been foreclosures, distressed properties, short sales and other obvious bargains.  Today, there are virtually none of these. Investors must find properties that are distressed using lesser known criteria such as owner equity level, ownership years, location, legal disposition of building and other criteria that make for a really profitable investment in Downtown Los Angeles.
