Choice of market for a beginner

[Kokou F.]

Hello BP community,

Kokou here from San Diego CA and I am glad to be part of the BP community. Totally new to real estate investment with zero experience and zero deal under my belt, but I am already a PRO…well…at least so says my BP badge… :) Thank you BP and the community.

I have done lot of research, reading and listening to educate myself on RE investment, yet I am unable to select the right market in which to start my journey. If some of the experienced investors here on BP could help me narrow down these possible markets I have been studying that will be awesome. Of the list below, please suggest in your opinion:

• the top 3 markets for best cash flow for an out of state investor
• top 3 markets to focus on flips or applying the burrr strategy

- El Paso, Texas

- Harrisburg-Carlisle-Lancaster, Pennsylvania

- Atlanta, Georgia

- Des Moines, Iowa

- Kansas City, Missouri

- North West Indiana, Indiana

- Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, Arkansas

- Chattanooga, Tennessee / Georgia

- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

- Jacksonville, Florida

Hope my question makes sense  :)

Thank you all.
