@John Dean Area will most definitely dictate selling price of the property and monthly rental price. Find an area you are comfortable with, that also has the kinds of prices you are comfortable with. Also, something I think is an underrated principal in renting is to get a property management company to handle the day to day. They only take a percentage and it frees you up to put less effort into handling your rental portfolio, especially as it begins to grow. This can allow you to look in different places that you may not have considered due to proximity and location. 

Hello and welcome @Demeko Morgan. I wish you the best of luck in your real estate investment endeavors. I completely agree with @Josh Hooper in saying you have to apply what you are reading and absorbing. Fear of action would be the number one issue for most newbie investors in my opinion.
