Quote from @Kyle A.:
I think it is all about the numbers and your goals. If you want to grow a portfolio and get a lot of passive income/appreciation then your money would be better spent out of state investing in somewhere like Ohio (I am biased. lol). If you want to live here because you want to and it would bring you joy then do it and maybe rent it out over the weekends once or twice a month to help offset your mortgage.
