Hello everyone, I just got out the military. I am in the San Jose area, and I am wondering if there are any good investments out here or if I should invest out of state. California is expensive! I already used up my VA loan on two properties in Washington state. I am interested in getting into whole selling, but I haven't got a clue on where to start. I want to build up my portfolio with good long-term rentals, but I have trouble looking for good deals. I am hoping on getting more educated so i can start investing smartly.

Dang you were in the recycled fart machine, thanks for your service. what are OOS options?

I served 21 years, retired in 2008. Welcome!

Check out the book "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene. It's full of information on how to invest in other states.

Look for Dave Meyers on BP. He studies markets and publishes regular updates on which markets are the best for your goals.

Use the search bar. People talk about the best states to invest in daily. I literally see dozens of posts, so I'm sure your question has already been answered.
