Beginner Investor Looking for my first market/city

Hey guys, 

Just taking my first steps into the world of real estate investing - trying to get myself educated as fast as possible, initially to the point that I can close my first deal. 

I live in NYC but looking to invest in a different state that offers better purchase value and appreciation potential. That said, would love to hear tips people might want to share about investing in a city you don't live in, or necessarily know much about. I'm thinking I would like to build up my portfolio in one city and get to know it very well over time. 

Fruitful investing everyone! 

Liam

Hey @Liam Barnes welcome, glad to have you on board! If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing and The BiggerPockets Podcast. They are both great at learning the fundamentals.
