Hello Bigger Pockets Network! My name is Lindsay and my husband and I are beginning our journey to real estate investing and future freedom. We live in South Orange County, CA and we are looking to purchase our first rental. We are currently seeking other states as the market out here is not conducive to our current goals. We are excited to be part of this community and eager to learn and eventually give back to others. We are serious about investing and any suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hey @Lindsay Wyatt! Welcome to BP! I'm in LA and I'm looking out of state too. I've found Indy, Cleveland, Jacksonville and KC to have great price / rent ratios. Pittsburg seems solid as well.
Good luck with your search and let us know how you do!
