Newbie from San Francisco, California

[Evan Chen]

Hey all,

My name is Evan. I'm 28 and I live in San Francisco, California. I've been a Bay Area resident for most of my life.

I'm a Software Engineer and recently have been interested in Real Estate Investing. I just finished Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat and started reading Long-Distance Real Estate Investing.

I'm looking to invest out of state for cash flow since home prices around the Bay Area are expensive. I've been looking into West markets like Arizona and Nevada since they're close to me and the Mid-West/South markets since I've heard that they're great for cash flow but have been having trouble figuring out which city I'd like to start in.

I look forward to talking to ya'll soon.

Thanks!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

@Joe Black I currently live and own my 1 bd/1ba condo in SF with my girlfriend. House hacking has definitely on my mind especially since my friend recently decided to house hack in Oakland. Due to the prices though, I'd probably have to sell my current place which doesn't make sense at this time.

@Kevin G., @Mark Davenport, @Caleb Brown I'd love to connect! I'm really interested in Kansas City since I've been hearing really good things about cash flow there. Since this is my first OOS investment, I'm probably going to go with something more turnkey.

I've also begun looking more into Greater Phoenix (AZ), Pittsburgh (PA), Indianapolis (IN), and Texas (Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Austin).
