Choosing a City to start

[Account Closed]

Hello BP, i'm Dante a new person entering the real estate investment. I'm actually living in Malaysia & not a US citizen but i hope i can receive a good start from BP.  

Before finding a property, i want to look into location/ States. But unlike the US, there is no CAFR for me to see the city statistics. 

I had try asking some property agents but so far i had only encounter them as "Salesman" & they don't give a care about my need. 

Is there a way i can find Malaysia States' statistics?
