Top 5 Markets for Cash Flow vs Appreciation

[Alexandra Feig]

I've committed to buying my first investment property in the US by end of this year.  I just purchased a condo in Singapore which is my primary residence but I hope will also be a rental property in the future, but am wanting to invest in US.

My stats:

Budget: ~100k SFH or ~150k for MFH (maybe up to 200k)

SFH vs MFH: Since I live abroad, I thought MFH would make more sense. However, given my budget I'm thinking SFH might make more sense.

I'd be curious to see what you would say are the top 5 markets for cash flow vs appreciate for both SFH and MFHs.

The ones that have popped up on my list (more for cash flow) are Indianapolis, Kansas City, Birmingham, Huntsville, Jacksonville.  For appreciate I was looking at Orlando and Tampa.  I have family in Florida and Illinois, so I was thinking I'd prefer to invest closer to those locations.

Thanks for the help!
