Hey! Thank you for the tips about keywords! Definitely will come in handy. I'm gonna read your post in the morning, i already like the title. :) Do you come thru this area often?

Really appreciate the help guys! (and girls) :)
I am definitely going to research these areas, texas, wisconsin, ohio, alabama, florida, oklahoma, etc.
Looking in to towns with around 70-100K population, seems like a good idea also. not too big, not too small.
Work a double tomorrow, but wednesday it's time to start some solid-research. I'll keep you posted too. :)
Once again, really really appreciate the help and am grateful to have some inside advice.
Hope all is well, and much regards to everyone!!

Where is the cheapest place to buy houses? (in the U.S.)
Besides a total ghetto like the slums. a place that just generally has "good prices".
If you guys could invest anywhere in the U.S.A. where would it be?
I'm from Hawaii, and now live in SF. probably the two-most expensive places to try and buy. Considering moving so I can 'get into the business' a little easier.
Point is where would be a smart place to start investing...

Jesse, thanks.
Yes, I've read it, but now that you mention it, I am going over it again. always good to refresh up.
worst case is that i work for 2 years, and build up credit so hopefully i can get a fha loan. but by then rates will probably be higher, and possible i still won't qualify for one. for now, im gonna keep reading. what would you do in my situation?

@ John Holdman
First off, thank you for your reply.
I'm looking to invest a small amount of time,(or medium amount of time) for small paychecks now, but with the goal of long-term wealth later on.
The "end-goal" I'm looking for is to eventually own around 5-10 houses. So I can retire, and that will supply me with income...
If I could get a few houses sooner, (rather than later) I would rent them out, while the rent covers my mortgage, (say my mortgage is $2000, I'd try for a $2300 rent with them). So it's covering my mortgage, and also supplying me with an "extra" 2-3 hundred a month, per house. (just an idea, definitely open to other ways to do it).
When I say "how can i get my first house", I basically mean, how do I start this process. I have at least 20K, but "new" credit, so banks won't give me a loan. (need to double check with them though)...
The Bay-Area market is kinda crazy. high demand, low supply. Many houses are being sold to All Cash buyers. they'll pay $150K in Cash. Offers over the asking price, etc. So I just don't know how to start.
Basically I would love to get "my first house", either as a rental, or a duplex/tri/quadplex, where I live in one part, rent the other parts out, which covers my mortgage, and i can start building equity from there...
these are just basic ideas I have, I am Very open to others.
Not a "do this only" position. just basic starting ideas. from a beginner.
Would love feedback/ criticism/ thoughts, better-ways, etc.
"All knowledge is power".
Sorry for the long post, I hope I cleared-up some of the questions...
John, thank you.
