How do you find market, places to buy a property
Aloha guys,
I am looking to buy my first investment property. My plan is to hold it and lease it. My market, where I live is too expensive and that's why I am looking out of state investment.
I've seen several videos on how some investor choose their market to invest in but would be very curious to see how you guys approach this process and what you look for when entering a new market.
Thank you very much!!!

@Alyssa Dyer I always enjoy reading what you have to say. Everytime the term "Oklahoma City" pops up, I see you commenting on the thread. OKC is a great place to live!
