Looking for a few new potential markets

[Rosario Aiello]

Hi everyone,

My wife and I have been saving up to make our first move into real estate investing together. Our plan is to purchase a buy-and-hold property with long term renters. We are looking for properties under $300k and with Living in southern California, local property prices are a little too high so we decided our move should be out of state. We’ve began our research but keep going in circles. With so many options, it’s hard to know which city/state is best to make a move in. So I figured I’d ask the forum for some options.

What are some good markets for us to begin looking into? Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!
