Investing in Socal but outside of LA ?

[Joshua Piche]

I have been looking to get into real estate and being in Socal more specifically the South Bay area of LA prices are just to high and out of my budget which is why I have been heavily looking into out of state . But it never occurd to me to look in other areas such as Apple valley , palmdale, Victorville , Canyon country , santa clarita , Lancaster . I have seen some properties for 300-500k , but because I don’t see/ hear much about these markets Im not aware of whats in demand or if theres any at all . 

So what Im looking to get out of this post is . The areas mentioned above or surrounding areas . Is there a demand for rent whether it be single or multi family ? Whats the appreciation like ? Is Job stability an issue ?
