Choosing an area for first out of state property

[Nick Sember]

Hey guys!

New pro member here and I'm hoping to put offers on a property in the next 90 days out of state. I'm from California and the prices here are just too high for me to get started on REI. I am currently looking in much cheaper markets to get my feet wet. I'm curious if anyone has some helpful tips on how they decided where to buy when going out of state. I've been looking at Alabama and Tennessee. I am just looking to get cash flow going at the moment and am less concerned about appreciation. Any tips you guys have, or anyone looking to connect please reach out!
