Hi all, I reside in Bay Area, CA with a full time job in tech and been 2 months since I started reading and breathing BP podcasts/books on real estate. I did some research on out of state markets and some practice deal analysis based on what I see on Zillow and have narrowed down to 5-6 cities (is this still too broad. Before analysis paralysis sets in, I reached out to a few agents today in one of the cities - Oklahoma city(also just coz I went to school there), to get more info about the local market. 

Now I feel like Im hitting a wall in terms of what direction to go in..

Should I get a mentor from a local real estate club (in Bay area) or should I look for a mentor in OKC real estate club? How does that work? 

My analysis process has been: Listening to BP podcasts and reading blogs, i concluded that Price-Rent ratio is important, and so I analyzed different markets based on Zillow data (ZORI and ZHV). Thats how I narrowed down to these 5 cities. I need to further look at Population growth, Employment opportunities etc..Is this the right way?
