What are the ideal markets to buy a multi-family property in CA

[Michael Guydish]

I am very new to Real Estate Investing. Right now I am just saving up as much as I can while finishing College. I want to start by purchasing a multi-family property to house hack. HOPING IN CA IF POSSIBLE. My questions are: 1) What markets in California should I look at to find a quality multi-family for a reasonable price? 2) As a beginner, how much should I save up before looking for a multi-family property? 3) Where can I search for multi-family properties online??? Thank you, I hope to hear from you!

Unsolicited advice, but especially in California it's worth considering.
