Live in expensive market and am looking to start in other states. Do you have any tips?

[Adrian Valdez]

Hello biggerpockets I live in jersey city temporarily but the values on properties here are nuts, so I began looking in nearby states and I saw that 

Pennsylvania's prices are a lot like the prices I see around the forums. I was wondering if you guys had any advice on how I should approach this venture . One more note I don't have a car yet so most of my travel will be through train or what ever. 

Sorry for the bad typing I can not see what I am typing on this phone 

Thanks in advanced
