Factors to consider when picking a market to start invest on?
Hello everyone,
I am new in the world of real state investing in the USA. I have the money to start investing and more importantly I have the willingness and determination to do it. So far I've devoured books, blogposts and youtube videos on different topics, but one that I'm not yet 100% comfortable is the methodology on finding a market to invest on.
I live in CA and I think the prices are crazy high right now, so I'm evaluating other area, but need a good framework to select it based on my investing goals.
What would you say are good techniques to pick a market to invest on?
Thanks in advance

Hi Cristian, I would look at the population growth of some of the different cities that you're considering. Columbus for example has great population and job growth.
