Go to the hot markets?

[Brian Kaufman]

Hi there, as someone who's getting started I hear a lot about the hot markets (like Phoenix) for the housing market. I understand it really depends on your goals, but it seems to me that someone just starting out should stay away from places that are already getting a lot of attention with inflated prices and stiff competition? Seems like the better deals might be in areas that don't have a spotlight on them for people like me with no properties to leverage and a small startup capital pot.
