Which areas to invest in for single family rental properties?

[Lieren Schuette]

Hello BP Community!

I am wanting to begin investing in single family rental properties, but have been feeling overwhelmed with where I should begin my search. I've been trying to analyze one property per day in order to get some practice and to feel more comfortable with the process.  But, it feels like I'm just randomly analyzing these properties with no true goal in mind.  

My question to everyone is, how do you find a good part of the country to invest in?  What factors should I consider?  I would appreciate any help or advice anyone has!  

Thank you all!
