Starting Out - Determining Market

[Cliff Song]

Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to find my first investment property and have started analyzing deals out-of-state but having difficulty finding opportunities with even minimal positive cash flow. I started in Oklahoma City and surrounding areas due to having family there but I can't seem to find anything that pencils. I'm considering looking in other areas based on what I'm seeing on the internet like Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Would like to hear thoughts and suggestions on finding markets.

Thanks,

Cliff
