i really enjoyed this video! you brought solid editing and production for a casual vlog, and i came away w a clearer sense of what the LA housing market expects from tenants like me!
The question isn't should you buy an apartment in LA but rather do you have the capital to buy and maintain an apartment in LA. Also, I would never suggest buying a house or apartment with a bf or gf because if something bad happens you are stuck.
Good points! Those are definitely things we considered as well - and regarding buying with an SO…you can always write contracts (but more importantly, take into account length of relationship / marriage commitment -- I wouldn't say "never" suggest, since everyone's situation is different!)
@@catcertino If anything goes wrong selling it is an absolute nightmare. If one party doesn't want to sell it or has a vendetta there is absolutely nothing you can do.Renting a home and buying a home together is completely different.
But it's kinda average here in LA. My rent was 2k+ before covid 3 years ago, and my current mortgage is 4k+ per month. That's about the price you pay for decent location and amenities here. It's not even fancy or anything.
3k is normal and if you are looking to rent in a beach city that gets you an apt built in 1950-1979 with no washer and dryer, outdated kitchen from the 70s etc
Median house price in LA is over 1 mil, you could find a 700 sq feet house with a $4800 payment (and thats with 20% down) in a crappy area like Van Nuys or Reseda. The mortgage for a 1 br apt in decent areas in LA with 20% down is around $4,400. There is NOTHING to buy here with a 3k payment. Not even a studio as 500 sq ft studios are usually $550,000. A 1 br condo in a decent area is around $650k fyi. This is LA. For a house in the HOOD it'll be like 800k and you'll be paying 5k a month
loved the way you presented this!!

Girl you are SOOOOOOO pretty!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video!! Such good tips & I love your editing 💘
Thank you so much!! :))
where is apartment 9 located?
Looks like you settled in the South Park neighborhood!! It’s definitely my favorite neighborhood in LA and I’m so jealous you’re living my dream 😭
im moving to LA in august to attend Northridge and its a freaking nightmare finding a place
not really there is always inventory coming out everyday.
@@Tedmosby97 I found a place, but I meant just getting your foot in the door, not necessarily the amount of places there are
How do you like DTLA vs the other neighborhoods you lived in? Is anything actually walkable or do you have to drive?
DTLA is dirty, over priced and not safe
Smart woman
WHERE IS APT 7
Thank you.
Everything you mention is the same with Miami FL , 2 sides of the same coin 😅
I like how you shitted on your “needie” boyfriend throughout the video. Poor guy
Lol atp id tell him he need his own apt😅
$3000 a month?! What the hell do you guys do for a living

So expensive.
Why would u stay in Cali if working remote. Never understood this
family? friends? culture? weather? proximity to the things I love to do? plenty of reasons for me personally :)
Why would you not live in Cali if you work from home and have the flexibility and affordability to live anywhere?
with that price point I would move to different city
To each their own I love LA
@@dorino9057 good for u
At 3k you might as well just buy a house dude
What u talking about? A house in a good place in LA is around $6k a month
