Can anyone recommend resources for studying or analyzing markets outside of the United States? 

Idk about the others.Is there a particular market you would suggest to review/analyze? 

It could be reading for 10 minutes, it could be analyzing deals, etc. once you actually have a property- it comes down to what sort of strategy are you doing.

Analyze properties using tools like BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculator to assess if a property will cash flow.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about analyzing markets or getting started.

Right now, my main challenges are finding funding options as a starting investor and analyzing deals effectively.Any advice on starting out, funding options, and thoughts on different markets would be greatly appreciated!

I once downloaded and analyzed Zillow data to find markets with attractive cap rates...

Make sure you understand how to analyze the deal properly and understand the upside and the  Market.

The key is analyzing each deal individually and adapting to changing market conditions. 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
