Good markets close to CA

[Patrick G.]

I currently reside in CA and am looking to start doing out-of-state investing with a turnkey provider. Given free cash my plan is to start out modest (SFRs in the 100k or so range). I also have a more than full-time job so my ability to visit the market(s) I'll be investing in is somewhat constrained. While I see lots of great opportunities with providers here in places like OH, TN, etc. I am looking for good markets that aren't a 7+ hour flight away.

Suggestions welcome!
