New Girl Looking to Invest, but where?!

[Kayde C.]

Hi there, I have never owned my own home before, but my income is 6 figures, my credit is great and my DTI is below 5%. My issue is that I live in SoCal and I do not wish to Invest here since property values are already way too high. I was thinking of places like FL, MN, OH, IN, but I do not have any connections to any of these other states, nor do I even know how to find/rehab in these places. I work remotely so I can pretty much drive to where ever I buy and stick around until the rehab is complete, but how, where do I find a way to start?
