Beginner wanting to invest in out of State Properties

[Oguzhan Besiktepe]

Have been recently reading and researching more into Real Estate, and was wondering a few different things. What sources do investors use to get accurate data on cities and neighborhoods to narrow down their search for where people can start investing out of state. The area I currently live at is out of my price bracket to begin investing in real estate so I was wondering in investing out of my state? Im looking to do a 20% downpayment on a single family home (maybe in like a B class or C class area?) for around $150k and just get a tenant to rent it out. Is this a possibility or maybe better recommendations that you would know? Any market suggestions in states would be highly appreciated as well. (Again complete beginner here just wanted to seek some additional advice and recommendations)
