Advice on first investment (100k to invest)

[Anais Rosales]

Recently got a salespersons license in California with the hope that this would lead me in the right direction towards investing and discovered soon afterwards that California is actually one of the worst places for investing. Haven’t started as an agent yet, but more interested in getting a head start with the investment side of things.
My dad and I have planned to partner up and get into investing together. He has no real estate background but does have more of the money to invest. Together we have about 100k to invest. Dad is more interested in fix and flip but open to other methods as well. Any suggestions on areas in California or out of state to get started? Suggestions for types of investing? Financing? Advice in general? I’m consistently between the Seattle WA area (also very expensive) and the San Diego area but open to better markets for investing.
