Nicholas makes a great point—having strong ties to a market definitely helps, and picking a random low-cost market without a network can be tough.

I have great credit but limited capital.

Hi Kyle.Phoenix is a great market to invest in for some things and not for others.

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

Solara is a great neighborhood.

Great share @Alex Zweydoff - thanks!

Hi John, Great to have you on board. 

It's questions like these that make me glad that this site/forum exists.

Also if anyone has any contacts in the area and would like to share, I would greatly appreciate it.

So the idea of doing this all from afar is a bit daunting, however, I know the most important thing here will be to create a great team and outsource as much as possible.I have set my sights on a couple of different markets being in the Southeast and the Midwest; these markets seem to provide the cash flow I am initially interested in generating to value add to the properties I purchase.
