My name is Tiff and I am new to the BiggerPockets family. I am a new REI looking to purchase my first property within the next 3-6 months. I currently reside in California and am looking OOS. I'm considering either Memphis, TN or Indianapolis, IN though I'm open to all suggestions. I would love to connect with anyone and everyone (especially anyone in those markets) to pick your brain and bounce ideas around. Thanks!

There are other smaller markets like Dayton, Akron, and Newark, which we are starting to see these areas boom due to huge investors and corporations like Intel choosing to set up shop in these kinds of areas.
Hi @Tiffany Chin welcome to the club. There's plenty of info on these forums to get you started as well as local meetups throughout the state. Some are big, some are more intimate - both are great places to network!
@Andrew Syrios : Thank you so much. I'm really excited to start this journey and get a door by the end of the year.
@Erik Browning: Thanks! These forums are absolutely fantastic as are the podcasts. I've been eating them up and learning a ton. Next on my list: attend a meeting. Thanks for the tip!

@Tiffany Chin Congratulations on taking the first step. My recommendation is to start by clearly defining your objecitves and criteria which will then lead you to markets that best fit your goals. If your strategy is long term buy and hold, you want to be in markets that not only cash flow well today, but have strong economic and demographic trends that will maximize both income and equity over the long haul. Personally, I like Indianapolis and Kansas City. They both have good cash flow, are landlord friendly and have growing populations, jobs and income which contribute to appreciation and rising rents.

Good luck Tiffany! Just make sure not to be too obsessed with getting that door by the end of the year. It's better to be patient than reach just to get a deal.
@Tiffany Chin - Tiff, congrats on taking the first step. I am from CA also and have been investing in Mobile, AL. Happy with my returns and appreciation (steady, nothing crazy).
