Lots of posts and threads on here as well as PMs asking: Where is the best place to invest? Well. here is the answer, if you're looking for long term. You need to buy where people want to live! How difficult is that? Duh! In a seminar I gave several years ago, I presented the following info. and feel it is even more important today. Don't try and swim against the current.

This article lists the 25 areas in the U.S that will house the majority of the population within the next decade or so. It is no surprise that I've purchased EVERY single one of my properties in one of these areas. And, when I've moved to an area to buy real estate- it has been AZ, TX and FL.
To make it easier for those that don't want to read, I even have a map for you(due to Steve and Jon teaching me to post a picture)!

If I did the picture correct, there should be a nice map. If not, screw it!!! Rich
