Potential markets that would be good for medium term appreciation

[Gaurav Mehta]

Hi,

I am looking for my next investment. I have a few SFHs in Bay Area but now looking to invest somewhere else. Some more details below

Goals: Medium term appreciation (10 year horizon) with minimal or some cashflow to keep in case of some emergency repairs etc.

Type of property: Single Family or Smaller Multi Family

Type of rental: Long Term but open to Short Term rental too (if the area has companies that can manage the AirBnB. Cannot do this myself)

Investment size: Not sure yet but looking to invest $300K from my side

Currently looking at Atlanta but not sure if it is the best. I understand the above criteria is still pretty wide to give pointed results but if you are invested in any such areas with similar goals, please recommend.

A few good options presented in no order:

- Columbus (I live here, it's arguably the Midwest's biggest success story currently)

- Indianapolis (affordable, growing fast)

- DFW (no longer as affordable as it was, but rapidly growing)

A very incomplete list.  If you want more updates and a systematic approach, I'd suggest reading blog posts by Dave Meyer on BP.  Also check out his podcast On the Market.
