So live work, loft, live, work lofts — That’s what people have been asking about lately for the past few weeks. So that’s what we’re going to talk about. As long as people want to ask for information about live work lofts, we’ll talk about livework lofts. We’ll talk about living. We’ll talk about working, and we will talk about lofting. We’ve been busy this week showing live/work lofts in downtown Los Angeles. We showed some for lease at the Higgins, building, the Bartlett building, and the Cornell building.

We got a request this week from someone who said that his lender told him that they can actually give them a better deal if he buys a loft, if he buys a place zoned for live work, or in a live work zone. So that’s interesting, because I don’t think I’ve heard that before. I’d like to know exactly what his lender said. I might ask him to, for his lenders phone number so I can talk to them myself and find out exactly what they meant. That way I could be sure to get him the right info, and help the lender, because he wants to get a good deal.

It’s usually the other way around — people usually have to pay a tiny bit more for their loft loans in general because they have unusual issues, and they’re listed as industrial and commercial buildings. They have more commercial properties in the building, which lenders usually don’t like. They usually have a bunch of issues that lenders do not like. So it’s usually the opposite of, of that. As far as lenders go, they usually want you to buy a regular house in a regular suburban neighborhood or a condo in a regular suburban neighborhood or regular condo, but everybody’s different. So that’s why it’s just important to know exactly what his lender said and exactly what his lender meant when they said that they want that he could get a better deal. And, if it’s in a live work zone, So we don’t, we need to know the exact words because between what he’s lender says and what he says and what I say, you know, something can get skewed in that process.

The deal with live-work is that people want to be able to live and work in the same place. That’s one of the reasons why some people get a loft rather than a regular house, a regular condo. A lot of people want to be in a place that has presented to clients as a place that’s more professional. That’s more upscale in a way or more stylish, a place where they can get more work done. The open space allows them to work on like large artworks or just handle have clients coming over to be in a, a larger, a more impressive space, a more professional space. — and for a few other reasons:

People want to have clients over without disturbing their neighbors. And a lot of people feel strange if they’re trying to do work in a residential zoned area. Although the fact is that as far as I know, pretty much every house and even condos, you can do work in there. It varies city by city, sometimes neighborhood by neighborhood. But for the most part, you can work at home, but you just cannot do things in general that disturb your neighbor. So if you haven’t neighbors that are disturbed by you having over, you know, one or two clients a day, those neighbors are probably goofy, but if you’re in a, some small town or suburban neighborhood than your neighbors might, or they might know you and they might, they might be, you know, keeping an eye on you. Whereas in LA it’s, it’s kind of the opposite.

Some people do the wrong thing. There, people doing strange things is normal in Los Angeles, that’s kind of what LA is for and San Francisco. People who want to do strange things, more creative, more unusual setting like New York city. So in these big cities centers of creativity, you would expect people to be doing strange thing has been living and working and working at home or living at work would be, would not stand out as something unusual in these neighborhoods. But nevertheless, people want to feel even more comfortable and have feel like what they’re doing is know sanctioned by the law that is acceptable and expected, and they want to feel comfortable where they are living and they want to feel comfortable where they’re working. So live work allows people to feel comfortable living and working in, in that space and in that building and in that neighborhood.

I have lived and worked in the same place for a big chunk of my life. I have worked at home and a lot of different places. And I have also at work in a lot of places, including to I’ve lived in an office temporarily when I was a teenager, right after high school, before I went in the air force. That was only for about a month or shoe. When I got out of the air force, I lived in my sign shop, created a sign shop with my brother. And I just lived in the work in the sign shop, which was aware an industrial warehouse type of building a modern that building was probably those buildings was probably built in the 1970s or eighties, probably seventies. And then, most recently before I moved to Los Angeles, I was doing eBay consignment had a large industrial unit that I was leasing. That was about 1400 square feet. It was pretty cheap. It was only about a dollar, a square foot, like $1,400 once a month. And I built an apartment, a room inside of the warehouse because the warehouse was really pretty big. So there was room enough to build a large bedroom, and still have a large warehouse to work. At one point, we had a lot of stuff in that warehouse. We were selling for people. But fortunately, it did not make enough money. So I was gave me an incentive to change careers too, to do real estate. So real estate is better, especially when you’re in your fifties. You don’t want to really be schlepping people’s furniture and stuff. When you’re in your fifties, it’s a good exercise. But I started to get pretty tired physically from, from that kind of work. And real estate is good cause you walk sometimes not, you don’t have to walk every day, but I walk every day cause we’re walking the dog right now while I’m recording this. So that’s my experience with live work. And that’s what people want and wants you to live and work in the same spot. Or they just want a place that is, has the aesthetic, that industrial aesthetic, and mostly just live in there and enjoy it, enjoy that style. And there’s other people that just want mostly want to work so recent or re helped a repeat customer who had one of the penthouses at Eastern Colombia where they’re living and working, and then he needed more space to, to work.

But they do want to be able to know to be nearby and to, you know, sleep there if, and when they want to. But it’s mostly for, for work. So Eastern Columbia lofts is a very presentable place for doing anything. That’s where you want to be stylish, want to have a stylish and professional presentation for your work. And so that’s where they got a second law, because then they need thousands of square feet to be able to do that, what they do. So, take a look on the LA Loft Blog, I was busy showing properties and also running around because I had lost my keys, lost my fog Meyer, real estate, supra lockbox fobs. Then forgot, and tried to show some properties today that required the super lockbox fog and we were not able to get in. So that was a reminder that I need to get my father immediately. So I drove, I had to pay like 75 bucks for the fog, then drive to Beverly Hills to pick it up from the MLS goodness. They usually have good service MLS. But they should, they, they are, you’re there for the real estate agents they’re created by real estate agents for real estate agents. The MLS is where your listing, if you sell or rent out here, your loft real estate agents, that’s where we list it for other agents to see. And it also feeds out to Zillow and Trulia and all that for the public to see as well.

I should remind people that we have some pocket listings coming up. You want to know, you have exclusive access to our team’s pocket listings. It’s you get some big benefits when you can see a property and know about the property, find out about it before other buyers and renters find out about it. So we have, what is definitely the coolest live work loft, historic mills act loft in downtown Los Angeles, under $500,000. It’s going to be the biggest and coolest live work loft under $500,000. The largest, because it is has two mezzanines that have been added and it has the highest ceilings in the whole building. It has higher ceilings than, than the penthouse. And then it has two mezzanine, little rooms, little upstairs areas added a small office upstairs and then a bedroom added upstairs. So it has basically two bedrooms and a, and an office has a downstairs bedroom and upstairs bedroom And upstairs office. And it’s got a huge windows, Extra, extra large windows and views in a beautiful historic building across the street. That’s takes up a much of the view of a really beautiful building and then a corner, a street corner where you can watch people walking down the street. In the historic core. It’s got exposed brick and it has a dramatic lighting, sort of film lighting, added camera lighting, which is really cool to highlight the brick. It has a sort of a library added up on top with one of those library ladder ladders. That’s cool. It looks good in lofts, especially when you have the big, huge high, extra high ceilings. So it has all that character that other places do not have, and it’s not 700,000 or a million it’s under $500,000. So that’s rare to find a, a loft, this cool under 500,000.

You are one of the first! We haven’t even put this on the blog yet. We just, we might’ve barely mentioned part of it once. So you’re getting more of the whole story right now about getting paid to live in one of the most amazing lofts in downtown Los Angeles or anywhere for that matter. The coolest hippest, most stylish, most awesome, all inspiring creativity, creative juice, inducing lofts in more than 10 years that I’ve been working with lofts. So people like to live in a cool loft. And these are among the coolest:

High Ceilings, super high, extremely high, extra, extra high ceilings — higher ceilings than the penthouses, not as high as the penthouse ceilings — higher! and character, not just character, not a little bit, not a lot, but EXTRA CHARACTER. So, along with super high ceilings, we’ve got the super big walls of exposed original brick with special lighting theatrical stage motion, picture lighting, which this place deserves very appropriate. A bedroom with a door that closes so big open space and a bedroom, a real bedroom with a door that closes. Plus two mezzanines have been added. A bigger bedroom has been added as a mezzanine, the large bed, extra space and hand made wood closets with fantastic, beautiful rich wood clad closets, and a beautiful glass wall, partial wall rail, and metal spiral staircase going up there, washer and dryer in the unit kitchen has been upgraded with white subway tile backsplash covering the whole wall of the kitchen, or at least all the, you know, the wall between the sink and the counter and the cabinets bathroom has been upgraded or has a big deep soaking tub, new marble counter sink and new marble floor tiles in the bathroom. So we got, it’s like having, it’s like a small three bedroom, but with a big open loft. And that was super high ceilings added to it. So wait till you hear the price range, he’s got a whole bunch of other stuff, too many amazing details to even mention huge windows, bigger than huge windows with extra natural light and views downtown Los Angeles, historic core. What’s the price? Sounds like a million bucks or 2 million. It sounds like — but the average loft in downtown is about $500,000 to $600,000, sometimes to $700,000. So you think that this loft is at least going to be above average price? Nope.
