How to find areas to invest in

[Yosef Sod]

Hi everybody,

I am starting out my investing career and could use some advice. I am looking to invest out of state and am not sure where to start. How do i find a good area to invest in? What metrics and trends do you look for to find good locations and cities to invest in? How do i find those trends?

I am not looking for answers like "Columbus OH is hot", I want to understand on a fundamental and then practical level how to find good investments in the entire USA.
