How to find cash flow markets?

[Ali Saad]

Hi there! 

I live in SoCal and it is extremely difficult to find any cash flowing properties. I'm interested in investing out of state, my criteria is:

- $80-120k purchase price (will go up to $200k if needed, but would rather have a lower purchase price and acquire more properties)

- Cash flow rental

- Pro landlord state

I'm not extremely picky on the area itself - I've done some research myself yet I can't pinpoint which market to enter. From what I've seen, it looks like the mid-west/south best fits my criteria. Does anyone have any recommendations on markets or advice on how they picked their market?
