Is starting out in CA a good idea?

[Brian Sanchez]

I was born and raised and CA and have my family , I'm a new member and have listed to only a handful of podcasts so I'm sorry if this has been covered. I want to begin by buying units going FHA owner occ. I don't currently own but I hear these podcasts of people in other parts of the U.S. buying units for a fraction of the cost that I could ever dream of finding in Orange county. So my question is, would it be wise to begin buying out of state instead?
