Denver gal looking to invest outside Denver area

[Alaina Donofrio]

Hi everyone! I'm new to real estate investing, and my head is spinning from reading so much the last few months! I'm pretty sure I'm looking for a turn key property outside of Denver as it seems to be a bit crazy here, possibly Cleveland or Phoenix (as I've lived in both areas). Any advice? Is it worth going to any of my local real estate meetups if I don't plan on investing here?
