Hey @Laretta YoungBP boogs are great, ive bought like....5 of them , including long distance....Im also from out of state and I was looking for a place to invest, I did my reaseraches, found few great markets, but the problem is that everyone else invest in those markets....so I was looking for under-the-radar markets, markets that regarding raw data (unemployments, job growth, population growth....) are not right at the top.so I found Des Moines , Iowa, right now im in a middle of a flip there, but I have no reason to leave this area after that.I think that even though other places perform better, for an out of state investor, its more important to have a system, and people he can trust in that market (if you bought David Greene's long distance... through BP store, they also gave you an access to a pdf file he wrote called "the core 4")@Darson Grantham you forgot to put other important links :)this one,  hopefully it will be right again this time:https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/01/these-7-recession-proof-cities-can-offer-security-in-an-economic-slump.html and this onehttps://realestate.usnews.com/real-estate/slideshows/best-places-to-live-in-the-us-for-families?

Thank you @Jonathan Greene for your input. 

Then you look in a little chart and cross-reference "standard" and "light rehab," and you get a per-square-foot number for estimated rehab costs.
