Hello, I have 60k ready in capital to start rental property investing. I currently reside in Portland, Oregon. Looking to purchase my first property in 6-12 months. What are some of the best real estate markets for cash flow? I really want to get into a real estate market that has very strong rental rates. Does anyone have suggestions?

Comm broker in Portland also. Locally, Yamhill and Linn/Bentor counties are popular. Lot of my clients like AZ and NM. For larger deals, SE USA (FL, GA and NC) since they have lower costs and good job growth.

Hi Jimmy, Depending what you want to purchase, maybe Bend is a good option for you? If you let me know what type of property you're looking for I can help you search for it.

Hi @Jimmy Lieu, I'm in Portland as well and considering different markets. I don't have an answer for you but I think you should think about what type of asset class you want to invest in. You should check out Real Wealth Network and The Real Estate Guys. I don't have any first-hand experience with them but they have some great info on their podcasts and websites.

@Jimmy Lieu what is your overall strategy for investing in real estate? Also, do you have any certain criteria for a buy box? Asset class? Are you looking to use the $60k to may a cash purchase or use as a down payment? Just from a cashflow perspective, (I'm obviously biased) take a look into Augusta, GA. You could go in several different directions with $60k in the area. Augusta's proven to be a very stable market with attractive industries like military, medical, cyber, manufacturing, tech, etc. I could go on and on and happy to discuss. There are several other locations in the Southeast that would qualify as great cash flowing markets, just depends on what you're looking for.
