Hi folks, looking for some advice about starting out in a new city!
I'm a 23 year old Californian, who's lived alone since 17. I have a 4.0 after a year of junior college, and have some training and 6 years work experience in the medical field (mostly entry level).
I have saved up enough to put a down payment on the house, and have started to build my credit, but, as much as I love California, it just sucks to buy real estate here. It's insanely expensive, and I want to relocate to a cheaper state.
I'm looking for advice on:
>Where you recommend I go (I live in the U.S.), if you have any recommendations for a state/city that has decent climate (not hot as balls AZ or cold as dicks Maine), college options, and decent people (like Colarado)
>If you have had experiences balancing college, work, and first-time home ownership. I could swing it here in Cali, but I'd get a real shit hole for what I could get a decent middle class rig in another state.
>Or just advice on relocating in general, based off your experiences.
My family is small, and after some losses last year, my only other remaining family member is a brother who lives here in Cali, and the only person I know out of state lives in Kansas, which is just too boondocks for my taste. I'm a citytown kind of girl, like Sacramento or Phoenix, somewhere where there's not too much clutter like San Francisco though. Pic unrelated

Come to Johnson County or KCMO. It has everything you're looking for. I'd also recommend Denver.

I didn't get to see to much of KCMO when I was out there, I mostly went to Topeka (which was nice, but just too rustic). The housing situation would be pretty awesome over there though, Kansas City was one of the first places I looked at real-estate wise

on't think about buying a house until you know were you want to live, and don't think about where to live until you get a job, and don't think about a job until you get at least a little further in your education.
One year in a CC counts as essentially nothing as educational background. At the absolute least, get an AA in your field; far better, transfer to a 4 year school and get a real degree.

It's my intention to apply for 4 year colleges all around and see where I can get in to. I've been pretty good at handling college and a job at the same time so far, and I don't have any support so I'll need to work wherever I live, but since I'm in healthcare it's super easy to get a job virtually anywhere. But it's so expensive to live here in Cali, so I figured I'd get my schooling done somewhere else. Solid advice though anon
