Hello Hello,

Eventually purchasing a property in Southern California to live in and rent out (my idea is I should be paying towards an investment rather than throwing all that money out the window on rent).

That's how I plan on starting, with a multi family property. Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site Eric!

That is also what I'm planning to do. It's a great strategy to basically live free and save up money for future investments.
