Introduction, Looking for San Diego advice

[Stephan Ketterer]

Hello,

my name is Stephan, living in the US for ~3 years and recently moved to San Diego ( my wife and I love it here). Due to tax reasons I will move money from my home country (Germany) to the US  ~200-300k and looking to invest in real estate.  Given the San Diego prices I wonder if its a better idea to look for opportunities in Las Vegas or Phoenix since they are a short flight away. I am not looking to buy a single house (too much concentrated risk).  I am happy about all tips how I could maybe invest in the San Diego area after all given my budget (1-1.5M given 20% down)

Sincerely

Stephan
