CA, overall, is a pricey state so I am sure there are folks near you that invest OOS.All the best to you on your journey!

I was fortunate enough to have saved a decent amount of money to survive this long.I started my journey back in 2017 with a New Construction house that I purchased and lived in as my primary residence.
