City and State to Start investing

[Jonathan Tran]

What is your strategy around finding the right State/City to invest in? My friend and I invested in Duplexes in Fresno, CA and so far we’ve got tenants from hell. They either break things on a monthly basis, squad, trash the place, etc. We have not made a dime since we started two years ago. Also, the home pricing there is too high now for us to invest.

We are exploring out of State, but finding it hard to know what are the criteria to look for. If anyone can share your experience starting out, it would be greatly appreciated.
