Should I start investing in one state when I know I will leave?

[Nate Grettenberger]

I am currently in the San Diego area and looking to begin investing in rental properties in the near future but my wife and I will most likely wind up moving somewhere with a less regulated/restricted and more affordable market. The only issue is we are not sure when. I'm just wondering what peoples thoughts are on investing in rental properties in an area when you know it won't be for the long term.
