HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT INVESTMENT IN OUT OF STATE MARKET?

[Roberto Bassi]

HI ALL!

I am a newbie investor who recently moved to San Francisco, CA from Boston. After looking around a bit to purchase a property here, I realized that this definitely not the right time to spend money on an overinflated market which I think will deflate very soon (one of the reasons being that tons of companies are leaving the city due to unsustainable costs here). One option for me is to look into different markets outside of CA, where prices are not so high and valuable opportunities are still available (eg, Denver, CO or other in mid-west). My question is how to approach those markets without any knowledge of those cities, without traveling there and actually looking at things? Are there datasets that I could look at which are not based on Redfin or Zillow? Or alternatively, do you guys have any strategy that you use and you are ok with sharing? Thanks!
