New Investor seeking out of State investing advice

[Esmeralda Florez]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community!

I am fairly new to the bigger pockets community. I joined six months ago. I admit that I was intimidated to post, so many members with a vast amount of knowledge and experience are here and I am new with very limited knowledge. However, I took the plug and recently attended the Bigger Pockets Convention 2019 in Nashville, it was great to see how many attendees are willing to share their experience and provide help to new investors. I currently live in California, but have been a resident of California most of my life. California is a competitive market with low inventory and overpriced housing. I am looking to invest out of state but still relatively close to home in particular San Antonio and Huston Texas. I would like to employee the BRRR method but conventional purchases are also of my interest as long as properties are under value and I can force appreciation. I was wondering if there are any investors out there that have invested in these areas or close by who would not mind sharing their experiences or can provide some advice about single and multi family (smaller unites1-4) housing.

Thank you
