Hi BiggerPockets Community,I'm a first-time real estate investor and currently exploring different markets to make my first multi-family property purchase.

However, I couldn't find one that offers a good return in terms of cap rate and cash-on-cash (CoC) — the prices of homes are very high.

I imagine it will be easy to find interested tenants, but I'd be happy to hearing about your experience.

I'm new to real estate and currently don’t own any properties, but I’ve been learning a lot recently.

Any tips on how to find them from out of state?
