I would then interview a few and make a choice as to what one to move forward with.

The Capitol region, NJ, and CT are solid choices.

If you're eligible, a VA loan is your best choice since it requires $0 down, no PMI, and allows multi-family properties.

El Paso cash flows beautifully with minimum down payment and has plenty of choices.

It has so much more than other courses, & I have many.Seth would be my second choice. 

Quote from @Collin Hays: I suspect that the Smokies is your best choice, simply because it is a year-round destination. 

Test him and ask if he can give you 2-3 choices from his portfolio.If he gives you a line that this is his "best" one, or that the others are spoken for already - WALK AWAY!

If you dont have a great team to work with you can lose your shirt even if the house is next door to where you live... there are lots of great areas but only a limited number of great teams so our final choice has always been team driven... saying that we look for an area where there are lots of opportunities  and rental houses available in good areas using the 2 % rule  we found this in Detroit and Toledo  more then willing to share what we do and what we have learnt over the years

I recommend considering your cash flow and debt-to-income ratio before making a decision, and consulting with a financial advisor to tailor the choice to your specific needs.Good luck!

The data points to most markets have have a boom in housing supply (apartments, and SFH) giving the consumer choices to rent.
