Newbie from LA, looking for other states for investing

[Julie Baek]

Hello BP!

I'm Julie and living in Los Angeles. I moved here last October from Korea, and started 'Study' real estate investment instead of looking for a new job here. As everyone knows California markets are hot and insanely expensive, I'm thinking to invest out of state. What do you guys think about Las Vegas? Still figuring out what works for me better between cash flow and appreciation. 

Any advice or opinion will be great as I'm totally newbie for real estate industry, also this country.
