Welcome @Melissa Kee and congratulations on the first step of getting started. I echo all of the other wonderful recommendations others have stated however I will challenge you to hone in and be more specific in regards to your goals that will help you determine your next steps. For instance, what does financial freedom mean to you?

If I could help at all I'd be happy to do but I am sure with your tenacity you will do great. Keep us updated of your success.

Hey @Joseph Conti. Jeff provided some great feedback but I will chime in as well. I think you asked two questions; where to invest and where to live? Those two places do not have to be the same, I know you mentioned wanting to house hack which does marry the two a bit more. However if I were you I would decide if either of these two places is where you want to live, if so then you can look into the investment opportunities there or elsewhere.

I too live in Fresno and if I can help with any questions, resources, or just boots on the ground I'd be happy to help.

Hey @Daniel Buck you have received a lot of great advice and since I am in a similar situation I just wanted to encourage you with your goals. When dealing with other large tasks I have found it easier not to focus on the big goal but just the next step, then the next. If I can help or encourage you anymore just let me know.

 Would you mind sharing the property mgmt?

Jeremy, you have received a ton of useful information beyond what I could provide however I just wanted to come in and say congratulations. If you need help with any logistics or anything I would be happy to assist, take care.

I know I am resurrecting an old thread but would this group be good for a newbie looking to gain knowledge and get involved on a low scale?

Thanks @Franklin Romine for the input, I would love to attend such meeting. Give me some details.

Do any others in this area have any input?

Hey BP, I did some searching on Google but most of the info I found was outdated and the clubs were no longer active or not open to the public. Does anyone know where I can kind more details or is anyone aware of any REI clubs I could attend that would be beneficial to newbies?

I appreciate the direction.

Thanks @Elizabeth Colegrove
