New member here from San Francisco.

My wife and I are looking into buying property oos. Currently we're interested in SFH. I've done some research and have narrowed down my search to 5 cities. We've set a goal to buy a property by the end of the year.

We have yet to purchase a property together; however, I have helped with my parents into buying a SFH in the Bay Area and was signed onto title with them.

My wife and I both work in healthcare. I work full time and she works part time while also completing her masters degree. 

Now, we want to do find a place together! OOS investments are very daunting and I'm sure biggerpockets will help us along the way! Thank you for all the helpful tools and especially the friendly community!

Like you, Lawrence, I live in the Bay Area and started investing out of state six months ago (in Dallas-Fort Worth area). I was nervous initially but once you narrow down a market, get familiar with it, build a team there, and start buying a house or two things aren't that difficult. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more about my newbie OOS experience.
