Buying out of state, buy and hold in Dallas

[Mano Chidambaram]

Hi folks, I am a newbie from the bay area  and am looking to by my first rental. As most of you are aware, it is extremely difficult to buy a good cash flowing property at a "reasonable price" here in the bay area. So, I am considering out of state locations like Dallas & would like to hear thoughts regarding whether Dallas is a good market to pursue. Thanks
