Looking to get into REI, starting with $140,000.

The thought of buying cash flowing rental properties interests me. However, I'm from Long Island, NY and cash-flowing deals are very hard to find. I'm considering purchasing out of state but don't know which markets I should look out or how to find deals in said markets. I'm 20 years old and have about $105,000 outside of retirement that I'd love to do something with. However I lack the confidence and knowledge to get started. Any tips?
