Real estate investing

[Michael Dooley]

I'll be in California and am possibly starting to invest in the form of a duplex or something similar, only problem is that everything I've looked into is really expensive so any ideas on new areas to look into. would like to start smaller as it would be my first venture. Also any pros/cons about maintaining that as a rental after I move out because I plan on relocated too Texas. Should I just wait to buy in Texas and start my investing venture there or should I buy while in CA regardless of how expensive the total cost of the duplex?
