New investor! Analyzing deals, preparing for 1st purchase!
Greetings Everyone!
I’m new investor currently residing in Bay Area, CA.
I’m looking to start analyzing deals to get my feet wet in preparation for my first purchase.
I would love to know, what markets are good to look at for out of state investments?
Also, as a PRO I have access to all these amazing tools that I have a pretty good hang on using.
Looking for recommendations in workflow when it comes to utilizing these tools.
What have you all found success with in your workflow of finding and analyzing deals for maximizing efficiency?
Thanks in advance, looking forward to connecting!

Welcome to the family ! Tons of information here, I''m steady learning and preparing to grab my first property as well. I think you'll find the Mid-West like (Cleveland, Kansas City, Detroit) very usueful to invest in for you. Especially being from the Cali market we know how expensive it is out there.
