Thank you! I'll take your advice on the secondary markets!

@Joe Villeneuve

Thank you for your input Joe. Since I want to invest out of state I have the entire county at my disposal although I would like to narrow down my options. I understand the value of having multiple markets but since this would be my first rental I would like to settle on 5-10 city's, learn them, and then take action. My problem is that I don't want to invest in major city's because of the competition and there's so many secondary markets that I don't know how to narrow them down to 5-10 markets. For example Texas has around 200 city's with populations over 10,000 and I don't have the time to individually go through every city. It would be nice if there was a way to narrow down the 200 city's to maybe 20 city's that way I could individually analyze each city. I don't know how I would go through with narrowing down the long list of cities without doing countless hours of data analysis.

I need Help! I'm ready to get into real estate but I can't narrow down a market for me. I'm 19 so I don't have the resources to visit every city in Texas, Florida, or North Carolina and I don’t have the time to analyze the data from every city (which is what I started to do). Is there any general way to narrow down the good City's vs the bad ones besides going right to the most populous city's. I don’t want analysis paralysis to stop me in my tracks but i simply don't know where to start. 

Thank you in advance for any of your input.
