Investor Rookie Eyeing out-of-state rentals

Hello everyone

I’m a 19‑year‑old finance student living in California and hoping to buy my first rental soon. Local prices feel out of reach, so I’m looking at other states.

If you’ve bought out‑of‑state, how did you pick a market and put a good team together? Any tips, resources, or stories would really help.

Grateful to learn from you all!
—Jack

@Jack Spicer

i'd make it a priority to house hack.  house hacking is a powerful way to build wealth.  those cheap-looking out of state markets come with their own challenges.

good luck
