Investing in the midwest

[Courtnye Nicole]

Hi all, Im fairly new to investing although i’ve been reading/watching podcasts for a while. I became a landlord by default when i inherited property but am looking to expand. I have been looking at Detroit but have also been heavily discouraged and told not to start there by many people...But, I’m currently in the midwest and wanted your opinion on where a good place for a newbie would be to begin?
