Your present life style is opposite to what is required.No credit, no long term employment, no money (I assume) ....no way.

@Rick BaggenstossThe reason i look at the Korean migration patterns is this Asian demographics will more likely migrate to a new city/area for better entrepreneurial and lifestyle opportunities more so than the Chinese & Japanese who are more likely to root themselves in 1 tier world class cities like New York, San Francisco and LA and stay put.

This is not realistic for all people, but if it fits with your lifestyle it’s a great way to eliminate a rent expense, or have your mortgage mostly or fully covered.

However, there are only so many miles of Gulf Coast Beach in this world and owning something right on top of it is a great lifestyle choice.

I used to be like a religious zealot wearing a sandwich board, standing on a street corner shouting to passers by that RE investing is the greatest thing in the world and why isn't everyone doing this? 

I live in LA as well because the lifestyle is so much better than FL but invest in central Florida for the prices and returns and work with other LA locals do the same.

Just find something that fits your lifestyle and criteria and buy it.  

Renting is less expensive.Saving is 100% about having the right mind set and personal life style.
