Is California a good place to start ?

Question

I’m very hesitant to obtain my first real estate investment being in California. What are some good strategies for the California market that work for people?  Would anyone recommend doing my first investment out of state?

Are you located in CA? I'm bias, but house hacking is the best way to get started in my opinion.

You get started in the market and get a sense if you even like this business or not. I moved from CA right next door to Reno, NV to house hack and invest.

Hi there! It honestly depends on your strategy - LTR, STR, flip, wholesale, etc. the tenant / landlord laws in CA are in favor of the tenant which often scares people. But the appreciation you get on properties in California is worth it. Prices are high which makes it a tough market to enter but if you have the funding and find a solid deal, I don’t see why you’d pass it up!
