1. I figured that might me a good starting point, but may not be worthwhile in the long run in order to built up property right? 2. Can you recommend a specific credit union? What do I've to look out for? I'm currently in CA. 3. Okay 4. Alright 5. What do you mean by "look for healthcare"? A decent salary for a software engineer would be what? 90k? What site do you guys use for finding a job? Indeed, Glassdoor, etc. or anything special? 6. Check!

1. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by built up property. Right now your goal should be to connect with others and make friends, settling down in a house on your own isn't ideal at this time unless you have a family. 2. Any credit union that'll accept you will do.

On the job portion, get a job that you like (can't stress this enough) that covers your rent+utilities, food and leaves enough to go out to eat a couple days a week as well as about 1K in savings a month if possible. Not sure what that is in california, but your an engineer so I trust you can use your skills to arrive at a decent figure.

Search for jobs anywhere you can get the word out, friends, indeed, LinkedIn etc.
