An advice on where and what kind of property I should Invest in

[Saizana Evans]

Hi, my name is Saizana Evans, I'm 19 years young and I'm currently Orange Coast College in California. I have around 40k saved up and since I have no expenses while I'm in school, was thinking about investing in real estate (mostly rentals). Wanted to know if you guys had any advise on whether I should invest in property in California or start looking at out of state properties? Don't know if I should find the biggest best deal a could find with a FHA loan with 3.5 % down and jump right in with like a duplex or triplex? Or on the other hand invest in cheaper properties and put like 40 or 50 % down were I heard putting that much down would make it easier to refinance and pull my money out. Still can do a FHA loan on the smaller properties too. Any type of an advise would help thx.
