Please suggest some good rental markets

[Pinaki M.]

I just joined this site. I am a complete newbie and I'm a few chapters into "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner. My goal is to buy some properties and rent them out for cash flow. Now the problem is, I live in the San Jose, CA area where the current prices are out of my reach. Recently I have been told that for my current job, I am allowed to work remotely from anywhere in the county. This opens up a lot of possibilities. I have been thinking of moving out of California to another state where I can get better ROI than CA. My plan is to move to this place, buy a property or two and manage them myself.

So my question is, what cities/town/states should I consider where I can get a decent ROI? For starters, let's assume that I am open to moving anywhere in the country where prices are relatively cheap and where I can get good returns.

All suggestions and advices will be greatly appreciated. Please help me out. Thanks!
