Just make sure the rental market can support the property’s expenses and have a plan for property management if you’re still in California.

I live in Southern California, have family in Tennessee (Nashville), and real estate friends in Indianapolis.

Hello,A job relocation to San Francisco CA early this year is making me ponder if I should be selling my owner occupied duplex in Jersey City and buy something in Berkeley CA due to its proximity to San Francisco and has some fairly decent schools  for my kids and also UC Berkeley .The low  2.5% interest rate on the Jersey City property turned into a golden chain but I think I am done with managing tenants and property and would like to get more into an Equity play.

My own realtor said that 2020 was the most lucrative year of her career and that nearly all the people buying houses in Waco are people who are fleeing California, New York, and Oregon, moving to Texas in hopes of living in a free and functional society again.

I watch a lot of David Greene's YT videos and have messaged him directly and he gave me solid advice - if I'm going to buy outside of California, to go for appreciation states and look at the asset. 

Im based in CA.

One person I know has a house in PA, CA, and TX. 

GET OUT OF CALIFORNIA! 

I took a standard CA long term rental lease and had an attorney make some changes for mid term rentals.Happy to help any way I can.

NJ, NY, FL, and CA throughout most of my life, but I like a lot of markets out there.
