What's the best way to do out-of-state research?

I'm hoping to move to Maryland inside of a year and I'm excited about doing some investing there. What are the best ways to do research in a far away market (I'm in Utah)? I know it's a huge area with tons of diverse sub-markets, how can I go about picking one?

@David Grimm

 I'm from Maryland, what areas are you looking into?

The Eastern Shore consists of more rural areas, lots of farmers, and lower to middle class families. Slow-paced.

The Western Shore is more urban and city like and has many diverse markets. You'll find it ranges from a city atmosphere to rural. Fast-paced.

Both sides of the shore have many sub-markets and I guess it would depend what you are looking to do with the properties. Most people from Maryland would agree that there is almost an area for everyone.
