What are some things that you look for when choosing a market to invest in? I am just starting out on my real estate journey and would love some advice.

I start at the state level with fair Landord-Tenant laws. Then narrow in on a city that shows stable growth and job market that will attract renters. Then narrow in on specific neighborhoods based on jobs, schools, shopping, crime levels, and other factors.
