Any tips to narrow down market?

[Zeb Duncan]

Every time I think I have my market narrowed down, I find another. I am in California and plan on investing out of state. I'm mainly searching in the 100k to 200k range for my first property. I know what I'm looking for, and seemingly find it all over. Being able to tap into an experienced team of agent, property manager and contractor would probably make the decision a bit easier but I'm sure I can find that many places as well. Any tips on how to.narrow it down or should I just stop looking at so many places and focus on one?
