Jake, take it a step further - buy a duplex or triplex if you can. It's probably the best investment you can make for young people in your situation.

@Eric Geers Hi Eric, welcome! I wouldn't recommend investing out-of-state at the beginning of your career. You will likely be sold something that you wish otherwise. It's hard to find a cash flow positive rental in SoCal, but there are many ways to invest in RE. It also depends on whether you want to make a career of being an active investor, or just want to invest your capital. I would recommend stay local, see it, touch it, and it will eventually grow on you.

Back in the days when I started investing in real estate, I practically invested in condos exclusively. A significant portion of my rental portfolio is still condos.  @Ray Johnson and others have some great points. Yes there are some drawbacks for condos, but overall it is something that can work out really well. Don't be afraid.

Call Paula Vinnedge at SEVEN ONE FOUR 777-4600 . Close enough to Newport Beach and is used to working with investors.

By the way, I can deals in Newport Beach. Let me know if any deals out there. 

Thanks,

Lin
