Quality of life or invest in RE

[Michael Barcena]

So I've been looking to invest in a property in LA and surrounding areas. But I'm conflicted, I turn 30 this year and have have been in school since I got out of high school and just got my career going. I'm tired of living the LA life if you can even call it that, everything is so pricey that it keeps me from going out, I got two kids and a long term gf. Me and my gf want to invest but also need a quality of life change, we've been looking at moving to areas with lower housing cost like Riverside, with the long term plan of buying to later rent. Anyone else bee where I've been at before? Would love to get another perspective.
