Moving to Santa Barbara, CA

[Daniel Jodrey]

Hello all! I have been looking to transfer jobs for a while now and not sure where that is going to land me. My wife and I have been saving and are in pursuit to purchase our first investment. My job is looking like it will land me in Santa Barbara, CA. I understand how expensive it is here and dont know if it is even feasible to buy anything. I am interested to hear from some investors in this market. My love would be to house hack a Multi family but seems most places those numbers dont work out. we have also been on the lookout for a SFH and do a live in flip. interested in santa barbara, goleta, ventura, Los Angeles , any surrounding area where the market may not be so inflated. i also may need to rent in the first 6 months or so, so any advice on that or anyone may know someone in the area that is renting and can help me would be a blessing!!! thank you! Daniel
