Hi everyone! 

Figured I would introduce myself. I'm from the Orange County area, I just got started with BIggerPockets, and I am looking to become a REI. My goal is to buy a 2-4 unit multi family property within one year. However, multi family units in my area are very expensive.

I don’t know if I should buy out of state or just wait to find a local deal? 

I’m looking forward to learning as much as possible.

Welcome James, I am new to Biggerpockets and so far the site has tons of valuable information for new investor to read or listen too. I agree with you most of the properties here in California are expensive but you can always find that diamond in the ruff especially out of market deals.
