Live in a Expensive Market?

[Jorge Ramsés García]

Hello BP community, my name is Jorge. I am located in the city where dreams come true: Los Angeles, California.

I am currently looking for my first property MFH (2-4 UNITS) Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex, I have been looking for properties in the Los Angeles area and would like to know your point of view.

Should I move to a cheaper market and have more buying potential and more units therefore or should I focus on the local market and get fewer units but higher income?

Thank you
