I live in CA and I'm looking to start purchasing properties out of state. I'm curious how you all decided which market(s) to invest in? Did you live in that location previously, do you have family there so you have visited? Or, have you never visited the city and you just ran a market analysis and decided it was the place for you?
I have plenty of cash and assuming I find a good deal, I'm ready to pull the trigger today. I'm just having a hard time filtering down where to look for deals and network.
These are the places I have "connections with" or places I have been looking at.
Kansas City (lived there 2 years)
St Petersburg/Tampa FL (lived there 2 years)
Des Moines (went to school in Ames)
Tulsa (several podcasts discussing this location)
