Des Moines, IA market VS Iowa City, IA

[Jacob Hicks]

Hello All!

I am going to be pursuing my first property in the next few months in Iowa. And I would like your input on markets. Specifically, Iowa City and Des Moines. Which do you think is better for a new investor and why?

I am thinking Des Moines as it is a growing city with people that tend to be there for a while. Whereas, Iowa City isn't growing quite as much, is very saturated with rentals, and people go there for college so potential for high turn over.

Thanks!
