What market are you targeting and why?
Hello everyone.
Im researching out of state (CA) markets and trying to decide which market I should focus on and start a team there. Im new and Im looking for some advise on what markets people are focusing on or interested and why. I have looked at some rankings on websites and some data like that but I'm curious what actual investors are thinking and why they focus where they do. Im most interested in multifamily but like most people, Im interested in anything with a decent price point and return.

Jeremy.
I live in LA and focus on out of state as well.
I am investing in Memphis, Cleveland/Akron, St. Louis and Birmingham.
