Deciding what market to invest in (out of state)

Joseph Miller
Posted

I have about 60K saved and am ready for my first investment out of state (I live in San Diego, CA). I've read the books and done the research to know what markets work for my goals, but mentally I find myself nit picking every market trying to find the "perfect" fit which leaves me to never pulling the trigger. any advice on how to overcome this so I can finally get my real estate dreams underway??

@Joseph Miller is there any city where you boots on the ground or a competitive advantage.  We invest 2300 miles away because I grew up in the area and have roots and connects still.  Even if the return is a lower, having someone you can trust is worth its weight in gold.  Some times you just need someone to unlock a door.
