First time out-of-state rental property investment

[Sariel Fu]

Hello Bigger Pockets Family!

I am living in the California Bay Area, and looking for guidance on a starting point for out of state rental property investing. I have struggled between a single-family and a duplex and also quite worried about the rising interest rate, and not sure if this is the time to start. I have my eyes on Tucson, Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Antonio - New Braunfels. Open to other areas as well.
