Long-Distance Real Estate Investing - BRRR Analysis Paralysis

[Reese C.]

Hello Everyone,

I am currently in the Denver Metro area and have one property that I am renting out and a primary residence. I just read David Greene's book Long-Distance Real Estate Investing. The book is great and I am motivated to implement the strategies that are taught to BRRR properties. But there is one problem with the book (or me)...

The problem is that it opens the whole country up as a possibility. The hurdle now is determining which markets would be good ones to target. I would like to target 3 and here is my shortlist:

Kansas City, KS

Orlando, FL

Raleigh-Durham, NC

Grand Rapids, MI

Des Moines, IA

With about 40K to invest, are there any on this list you would recommend, remove or add? 

Thanks
