I need help figuring when to buy my first investment property
Single. Make $100k as a w2. Just bought my first property which I am going to house-hack 2 rooms at $600 each. I live in CA. Should I continue with my idea of buying my first investment home outside of CA? or should I wait let things settle until next year?

Welcome to BP
Lots of factors - but a lot of people in your situation have had success doing the house hack in CA and then investing in pure rental properties in the Midwest - everybody's different, but that path seems to be a strong one for investors in CA that want to invest in RE but don't want to leave!
