Is it wise to start real estate in California?

[Gladys Villa]

Hello all! I have heard a lot of investors investing out of state like Ohio, Memphis, Texas, Seattle, etc, but rarely they say they have apartments and anything similar in nature, in California. I live in California, and I know property prices are very high. Is it not smart to start in California because of this? Why do investors not consider CA in their investing? Where can I get information about investing out of state and learning the differences and advantages?

 Most California investors buy in cheaper markets like Ohio so they can get cashflow

I have a lot of friends in California who are real estate investors. None of them buy in Ohio......
