Anyone from the LA area knows that 250k for 4 bedroom is super cheap. In my area, 2 bedroom starts at $550k.

True, but I feel you can do a lot better without having to move all the way to Vietnam.

Dunno about LA, but $250k went a lot further in 2011.

In many crash-afflicted areas, prices are double what they were in 2011.

LA is insane. You can easily spend more than $250k in South Central.
