Use Biggerpockets resources, read and don't invest until you visit the market you want to invest.I started out looking into turnkey model and visited several areas including Memphis before decided to go on my own route in NWI market.If you decide to enter in NWI market in future, I will be glad to help.

@Mohit Asthana my advice would be:1) Develop an investing criteria and a business plan2) Research the areas that interest you and become an expert in the area, go visit it, learn the demographics etc. 3) Use the process of elimination to narrow down the areas that you're focused4) Build a team to support you on your REI journey.
