Is it possible to find an investment property in CA?

[Frederick McCree]

Hi guys! I’m searching for my first investment property (Duplex, live in one rent the other), and my stomach is in knots. I’ve watched webinars, read books, and asked for advice; yet I’m a deer in the headlights. If I can’t afford to buy in CA then where should I buy? Does it make sense to purchase out of state and live elsewhere? Should I get a realestate license before becoming a potential landlord? Am I ready for this?
