Hey Everyone,

My name is Jake and I'm a 27 year old civil engineer here in sunny San Diego, CA.

I moved here from Cincinnati, OH in late 2012 (parents/extended family still live there) for a job opportunity and have managed to save about 50k which is unfortunately not nearly enough for a down payment in SD. I have no debt and a well paying job, so I'm ready to start looking at supplementing my income with investing in rental properties.

Ideally I'd like to purchase a multi-family home outside of socal that could be managed by someone else with minimal involvement on my part. I'm also open to the idea of house hacking in SD or single family homes anywhere.

I'm extremely new to all of this so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
