I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or loose money in any market.

I mainly am posting this for the keyword search in case anyone researches the same thing.

I'd highly recommend you listen to the podcasts, set up keyword alerts for topics you're interested in, check out the bookstore and start networking at local events, like the one @Rita Medeiros invited you to.For your first purchase I'd highly recommend a house hack.I wish you all the best!

Not sure if you're aware of the keyword notifications, but you can include cities and towns so that whenever a post mentions them, you'll be notified.
