First time investor seeking advice

Hello,

First time buyer from the investment standpoint here, already a home owner for my place of residence.  

I am curious how others have gone about researching markets for long term rentals for single family homes or duplexes and what factors have helped steer them into certain markets?  I have seemed to hit analysis to paralysis and am looking/ hoping to gain some insight on how other have overcome it and made the jump?

Also, how have others found reputable and helpful realtors other than the BP website?  What about property managers for long distance investing?  My home market is too high priced for me to buy an investment in.  

Thanks!

CJ
