@Chinmay J. I'm originally from McLean, so also Fairfax County. Any thoughts on the college towns in VA? By UVA, VA Tech etc.

@Logan Allec Oh didn't realize you were in LA too!

I would be interested in FHA, but I wouldn't qualify since I can't live there. In that, I just bought my primary residence (a SFH) last year and not planning on moving anytime soon. Also doesn't the 3.5% go back up to 20% when you move out?

When did you buy in Santa Clarita? I'm pretty familiar with that area but prices have gotten a bit too high for me in the last few years.

Actually joined yesterday, but new to Bigger Pockets and marathon-listening to old podcasts, watching youtube videos, and reading posts. Brand new to real estate investing, only experience I have in RE is buying my current house. 

Looking to invest in single family or multi-family for passive rental income. Currently learning about acquiring property(ies) outside of Los Angeles and doing the own capital down / light refurb / hired property manager route. First step is to find local investment-centric realtors in Las Vegas, Fresno, Albuquerque, Madison WI, or Reston, VA.

thank you so much!

new to bigger pockets, so far has been a great educational resource. looking to do a first time investment purchase in a few areas. i know this question varies based on location, type, etc. but im looking to do single family rental investment.

i hear its a "bad" time to buy right now in california and browsing the internet (mostly reddit), but what are the indicators of this?
