Good deals are everywhere. In LA I would be looking for damaged and undervalued homes that could be flipped.

In the Midwest I'm assuming you want cashflow. You can find a 5+% rule in war zones or rural areas. There are 28k properties locally barely held together or liveable that get 1400 in rent.

I wouldn't really want to invest somewhere without some kind of connection or boots on the ground. Friends, family, work travel, kids college, some kind of connection.

If you do I'd probably just try to find a good realtor. You might get burned. If you are or become a serious investor and buy a lot of properties you could also be a great partner for them.
