Lost in the crowd and cannot decide what is the best place to invest

[Himanshu Das]

Hi All.

I am very new to real estate investing.

I went through many of the posts already in biggerpockets starting out forum and I see that many people have asked same question: what is the best place to invest ?

Most of the answers I see are from real estate agents recommending to buy in their local area.

I live in NJ and looking for out of state investment opportunities.

can you guys suggest some areas for long term rentals with good property appreciation ?

Is it good to start my journey with a turnkey company like "renttoretirement" to buy new construction SFRs ?
