1026 Sentinel Ave, Los Angeles, CA

When our artist clients reached out to us with a tight budget and a dream for more space (including a garage to turn into an artist studio) we knew we could help them find the perfect diamond in the rough. We explored the idea of a multi family property (a great option where the income from the tenant can help you qualify for a larger purchase) as well as single family homes. When it came to single family homes they were generally in two categories: Fully fixed up homes with very small square footage, or larger homes that needed a lot of work. Since both our clients are handy and were not first time buyers, they decided to go for the fixer upper option.

Eventually we found a diamond in the rough in a great pocket of Boyle Heights. With original hardwood floors, high ceilings, a great layout and a two car garage (plus driveway parking) this home is the perfect place for our buyers to roll up their sleeves and start building some equity. We can't wait to see follow up pics a year from now!

Are you a creative professional on a tight budget? Don't be afraid to reach out! Angela comes from a creative business background, and Anthony comes from the bar/hospitality business. We both have a lot of experience working with alternative incomes, and love working with folks at all different price points. We're proud of every single person who wants to start their home hunt journey, big or small!
