Where to Invest First?

BiggerPockets Members,

I am a new investor seeking a location (or "farm area") to purchase my first multi-family property (2-4 units). My plan is to move to the location and finance with an FHA loan. My goal is to live for free (or maybe even cash flow $50-$100 per month) and pick up additional cash-flowing buy & hold properties as time goes on.

I am not tied down to any particular location and am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of options I have. My target price range would be between $100k to $350k with limited rehab (cosmetic stuff is fine). 

I have been looking into the following places and am having trouble making a decision: Chicago, Cleveland, Atlanta, San Antonio, Savannah, Dallas, Sacramento, St. Louis, and Kansas City. I'm open to other suggestions as well. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
