Cities or neighborhoods under the radar or up-and-coming??

[Nick Fiammetta]

I'm in the "learning" phase of investing and would like to start doing some research city by city. Are there any under the radar cities or up and coming areas that have lots of good inventory?

I live in South Florida (where there's not much inventory under $200k), but would be open to cities like Nashville, Birmingham, Detroit, Central Florida and more.

I would be open to renovating a single fam home and renting it out vs. a flip.

Any advice for a newbie would be appreciated.
