Hi Anthony-You currently live in NJ and are looking for out-of-state locations that are affordable with strong rental potential.I would look at a market like Lansing, MI.

I'm with Mary in that I grew up in the area so if you know what you're doing in the area it can be very lucrative.  

The states I have so far are Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arkansas. 

It is in a northern MI Downtown area (opp zone) in a county seat with 2 hospitals, had it re-zoned to mixed use, and is considered blighted which makes it eligible for MEDC funding of up to 50% of project cost.It is 8k sqft (4,000 each level) with the lower level being a walkout (top level is street level with sloped drive down to the rear of the building).

Hola mi gente!
