where should i invest in real estate?

[Francisca Walden]

Hi, please i am new to real estate investing and bigger pockets, I have watched a lot of the podcasts and read many books on rentals and i'm really interested in buying rental properties (could be single family or multifamily). My problem is i live in new york which is a very expensive market and i have not been to other states so i don't really know which markets would be good to start in for a new investor like myself. I can't house hack because I go to school in New York and depending on what medical school i get into, i might have to live here for a while. Could someone please help me with selecting a market or point me into a good direction? 

Thank You.
