Best states to buy n hold in

[Dan Chapman]

HI, I am looking to invest out of my area as I live in California. I am familiar with a few other markets such as Denver and Seattle but they are a bit spendy too.

What states are good for lower purchase prices and greater ROI?

I have heard Texas, Tenn, Indiana...are good would be nice to buy closer to where I live though. Opinions and success stories?

thanks, Dan
