Good markets for cash flow, nature and the arts?

[Ryan Harbert]

If you were able to relocate anywhere in the country, where would you go?

My wife and I (and kids) can pretty much relocate anywhere. Our main purpose is for house/apartment investing, using a BRRRR strategy. We could also do new construction, but are specifically looking for markets where cash flowing is easiest.

We're hoping for the following:

1) Easy access to nature

2) Strong arts culture

3) University nearby

4) Good for families

I know, in general, people recommend the Southeast and Midwest. We're leaning toward Tennessee, North Carolina or Georgia, mostly because of the mountains.

Is there a specific location you particularly like? Where would you go?
