SoCal Native Starting Out

Hey everyone, new to the community here! I recently got my Real Estate salesperson license and excited to get into the real estate game. 

Currently live in Orange County and wanting to get into the strategy of high cash flow in an affordable market. 

I wanted to ask what markets most Southern California natives are investing in. 

I appreciate all the advice! Thank you in advance!!

Welcome Nick. Always keep in mind that “affordable markets “ are affordable for a reason. Less desirable areas, higher maintenance, higher vacancy etc. The actual cash flow is often considerably less than how it looks on paper. As a fellow OC investor I would suggest that you consider buying a better class of property in an area where people actually want to live as opposed to where they are forced to live for financial reasons. You will generally get much better appreciation. Best of luck in your endeavors.
