Researching markets and starting out
Hi I'm looking to buy my first property this year but I'm not sure what resources or what to look for to know if a market is good to buy in. I've listened to multiple real estate books including all the BiggerPockets books along with lots of podcast episodes. They all mention know your market but I'm unsure of how to do that. Being from Charleston WV and it being a declining population I don't think it is the best place for me to invest. I'm serious about investing as I want to get out of my 7 day a week job that doesn't allow me to have a life and keeps me away from my family often. I'm interested in BRRRR SF/small multi family. From what I've seen the Charleston area isn't great for appreciation or cash flow. Some help getting pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

@Derrick E. Yes I’m wanting as much cash flow as possible so I can maybe get away from my job in 5-7 years. Then at that point I will worry about getting properties to gain much more appreciation. I’ll send you a PM.
