Out of State Investing

[Samuel Medina]

Hello everyone, newer investor here.  I am looking to purchase small multi in the next few months out of state.  Currently live in Fresno, CA, but want to find a great location to pinpoint, analyze as many deals in one market and get a deal.  

With so much data out there (ex:population growth, employment, crime ect.) how can I pinpoint one market to invest in?  Is it just me or is all this data online in investing markets a bit overwhelming.  Any help is great, thanks!
