Advice on choosing long distance investing location
Hi all, I live in the Bay area and due to local prices being so high, I'm looking for my first investment property out of state. Budget would be up to $500k. Without having been to all the cities I'm considering, what data or qualities should I look for in those cities besides the basic population growth, job growth, etc.? I'm having trouble narrowing down from about 10 cities as they all meet the basic criteria I've been told to look for. Much appreciated!
