Tips on finding a good area to invest in

I am looking to begin investing in real estate and was wondering if you guys had any tips for finding a good area to invest in for single family homes. In looking at the information on how to invest in real estate, I came across the idea of choosing about four areas and picking properties out of these areas, while paying attention to the demographics of each area. However, with so many different demographics and so many different neighborhoods to take into account, I am unsure of which specific areas to further research. Anyone have any tips on narrowing down this seemingly incredible task?
