Thanks, Justin! I’ve already learned so much and I’m excited to learn more.

@Nick Peters

Nick, thank you so much for these resources. I’ll get going on going though these. The more education, the better!

I will be sure to reach out if I need anything, thanks again!

@Maxwell Ventura

Thanks for the detailed response, Maxwell! I really appreciate it.

As you and others have recommended, I definitely will look into Oceanside and Vista. I'm not locked into staying up north. Would be best for my commute but I'd be willing to live for a year with a longer commute for the FHA loan. If the right deal were there, I'd go further south or north.

That’s great perspective on cash flow. Admittedly I’ve been a bit caught up in it when evaluating properties using the rental property tools on here.

This was very helpful. Thanks again!

Hello everyone, newbie here.

A little about myself: I’m 26 years old and working in the financial services industry. I’m living in San Diego, CA (North County). I went to school in Texas, so naturally I find myself most interested in the California and Texas markets to begin my real estate investing journey.

Ideally, I would like to start with house hacking and utilize an FHA loan in San Diego or even a little North of San Diego in the Orange County area. I have a good amount of cash saved up for a down payment and two potential partners to invest in properties with.

However, finding a SFH or multi family property at a good price in the San Diego / Southern California market looks like it will be challenging. I would love to hear from others who have experience with house hacking in a competitive/expensive market like Southern California.

After house hacking, I think I'd like to invest in rental properties out of state to buy and hold. Mostly due to the difficulties that come with investing in California.

With that said, I have already learned so much in the BP forums and through BP books and podcasts. I’m excited to keep learning as I start my RE investing journey.

Looking forward to connecting more!
