Long Distance Beginner Question

[David Derus]

Hi All,

I'm just starting out this journey with a friend of mine who is a realtor. We have money lined up and about 140k to start between the two of us. Currently in Los Angeles and that kind of cash doesn't go far. My first question is, how do you look for a market that you are not living in? What factors go into that decision? Thoughts on where we should start? We want to flip about 3 or 4 a year plus buy and hold 1 or 2 duplexes. I'm excited to be here and learn.
