Why can't I pick a market?

[Alex DeYo]

I have been looking to purchase my first investment property for almost two years now... I have made several offers on properties all over the country but have not closed. In all this time, I still can't seem to decide on a market. I find myself jumping from market to market, state to state, and just can't seem to narrow in on any one place. Grass always just seems to be greener and I end up sitting on the sideline. I want to pick a market and put my blinders on and feel confident that THIS is where I am going to focus.

How do you all decide and commit to one area? Are there tools that you use to help inform your decision? Is paying for tools such as Mashvisor worth it? Any others recommended?

Appreciate the help/discussion!
