What state is the best to start getting into real estate?
Hey everyone! Once I graduate high school I will no longer be tied down to my city and will be free to move where the money is. I currently live in Oregon and right now and Oregon seems to have very complicated laws when it comes to wholesaling and investing. I would love to move where laws are more free and have good opportunities for investing. Let me know your ideas.

I've heard a lot of folks like Indiana, Ohio, and Alabama. I'm here in Ohio and many people from out west invest here. So I'd say start with those three states and see which one grabs your attention!
