Ready to learn

[N/A N/A]

Hello everyone,
I'm brand new to RE but I'm ready to learn. I live in LA where buying a house has not been practical for me, inasmuch as the median price right now is right under half a million. So, I'm looking to buy a rental out of state, perhaps Oregon, which is both close enough for me to check on and an attractive place for eventual retirement. I don't have much capital, but I have good credit. I appreciated one post I read about not being held back by FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) but I have to do a lot of looking and lot more learning before I leap.
