How risky to invest out of state?
I currently live in California and will take years before saving enough money to invest in real estate. I’m considering investing in other states. Housing prices are much more investor friendly than California. But the question is...which state?? I’m not familiar with other states as much. So if you guys could give me some ideas or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

@Roberto Moita. My first piece of advice is be aware who has biased advice on BP. Whenever you post about out of state investing the same people and TK providers pop up. So just be aware of that.
As to which state I would choose one that’s not to far and is landlord friendly. Ohio, TN, Indiana, WI, AR are some examples
