@Andy V  Thanks for the insight. yea that was the only draw back i could think of. However it seems like a great investment considering i might have roomates to provide additional income. 

@Bruce MayThanks for your time antonio. That sounds great. I would greatly appreciate that. I'm going to be looking soon and all the best recommendations and help or insight would be great. I need to know the best option and most economically viable one to put me in a position to have a great investment. I'm not too familiar of what options are out there. Thank you.

Hello all.

I am a newbie to real estate from San Diego, CA. In fact, to property in general. Long story short, I am simply looking for a place to live at this point and i was thinking of renting however i could not fathom the amount of lost income for something that eventually would not be mine. I want to buy and invest income into property while i live in it and eventually sell or rent it out when i seek another property. I want to start small, maybe invest in a condo or otherwise. Is this a feasible start? If not what would be the best recommendation. I have saved up about 10 k to play with but that isn't very much. I am 25 and don't have too much money to play with. What would be the best or smartest option.

Other than investing in my first home to live in, I do want to absorb much information about investing in property in general. I love the concept of flipping but it seems like you have to have a great amount of cash flow to begin with. Also, San Diego is pretty pricey! 

Otherwise I hope to learn a great deal!

Thanks
