Bryan,I think you should consider out of state investing...I live in Bay Area and I own multiple SFH  and apartment complexes (above 100 units) all of them out of state for many reasons:Compressed cap rates, tenants friendly laws and regulations in CA...We (me and my partners) host meetup in Los Gatos dedicated to out of state investments.It is a monthly event and we have one scheduled for tomorrow March 28.Feel free to check it out:meetup.com/Los-Gatos-Real-Estate-Networking-Meetup/Boris

I am originally from Michigan, but moved to Los Angeles 10 years ago and loving the CA Life.
