Real estate works when you work it.

[Felix Lilly]

I was attending a BiggerPockets webinar about real estate investing, and I am also a newbie to real estate investing. I want to start investing in multi-family houses and I found a website that rents out to traveling nurses so that I could turn my property into a rental property. I know that location is everything for properties, and I live in the Portland area but I don't want to invest here because properties are ridiculously expensive here. I am just getting started, so I am wondering where the best market to buy properties is with the biggest supply and demand. Then I also know I need to "show up" to look at these multi-family houses and meet lenders & agents. 

Thank you for your feedback and ideas for what I should do to get started.
