Hello, everyone I live in southern California and have three markets I want to invest in which are San Diego, Fort Worth, and Miami. The problem is I don't know really even know if theses are good markets for apartment investing. Am I picking to many markets to start off with and how do you decide what markets to invest in?

Assuming you are new to investing itself there are 2 questions to ask yourself.

1. Should I start with apartments as an investment or start with SFR's which are lower cost, lower risk etc.

Then the next question is where to invest. I was in 3 markets but found it too difficult to get good enough at all 3 so narrowed it down to 1.

4 years and hundreds of deals later I am now just starting to look at multi family.

Hope your journey is successful!
