Best real estate markets now and in the future?

[Suzette Parsons]

What are the best markets right now for real estate?  I have sold several properties in my area (Idaho) and am looking to re-invest in some buy and hold properties.  Real estate has gone way up in this area and the returns are low at the moment.  I know that Texas is hot as well as parts of the midwest.  If you had some cash to re-invest where would you go?  I am looking for steady growth and a good rate of return.
