In this game we are targeting properties.... but we are also targeting unsophisticated sellers. 

But don't play games with me because I will out game a newbie every time.

I would choose a 2nd or 3rd tier city or suburb just outside a 1st tier city (but not the boonies), which has some of the same desirable features as a 1st tier city but isn't yet teaming with investors.

This is one of my favorite features of Bigger Pockets especially for asking specific questions.

All three go hand in hand, you can't simply select one or two aspects and play the game without being called out by authorities.  

But again, I'm just a kid, and I'm sure people who have been in this game a lot longer in SoCal than I have (like @Matt R. and @Steve Short above) can give some better advice.Thanks for sharing your purchase Logan.

As they say "numbers don't lie" but some in this game edit numbers let's say when financial gain in their favor.

Another good way to research questions is to use the search feature to find previous threads that discussed those issues.

Mother in law suites shrink your buyers pool - a great asset for someone that is looking for that specific feature  - a deterrent to the other 95% of folk that would prefer not to have it.
