Out of state rental property markets

[Minyan He]

Hello BP friends!

I'm Minyan from Southern California, new to BP. After reading some books (Poor day rich dad, The millionaire real estate investor, Long distance investing by David Greene), and listening to tons of BP podcasts, I'm ready to get started. So excited!! As my backyard is so hot and expensive, my plan is to look for out-of-state rental properties, which I can buy and hold. What are some of the good markets (cash flow + appreciation)? I searched the internet, cities from Florida (Orlando, Jacksonville) and Texas (Austin, San Antonio) come up a lot, along with some other cities. Can anyone share her/his experience of investing in these markets? Or re-direct me to the previous posts regarding this topic? I'm sure this is not a new topic. Thanks!!
