Positive Environment for LA Small Multifamily
The Los Angeles multifamily market is perfectly located at the intersection of visibility and demand dependability. When overseas investors think of U.S. real estate, Los Angeles is one of the top markets on their minds. The demand for rental units is fueled by a strong housing market.

Based on new Zillow research, U.S. renters spent a cumulative $4.5 trillion on rent during the 2010s. That’s more than the GDP of Germany or the combined market values of Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet.
