Selecting out of state market

[Angel Lomeli]

Hi Everyone, 

I have been following BP for a few years now. I've read several books, listened to hundreds of podcast's and watched dozens of webinar and BP YouTube videos in preparation for my first investment. With that said I am financially prepared to start actively investing and wish to avoid further analysis paralysis. I've noticed the forums provide a wealth of knowledge from individuals investing in a wide variety of strategies and feel this is the best place to start. I recently have been struggling with narrowing down a market that works for my strategy and wanted to get some insight from experienced investors. 

I would like to focus on SFR/MFR in markets with appreciation potential. I am okay playing the long game and waiting for the benefits of market appreciation but in the time being would like an average CF return (not prioritizing CF). I would also like to take advantage of forced appreciation through rehabs to create equity with each purchase. Any suggestions on markets that fit this criteria?

THANKS AGAIN!
