Indianapolis vs. Detroit vs. St. Louis - Where should I invest?

[Patrick Nissim]

So I'll start by saying I've done some research on home costs, rent prices, employment #s, etc so I'm not starting completely from scratch. Indy, Detroit, and St. Louis all provide me similar low barrier to entry pricing but each have their own flaws. 

What I'm looking for is feedback from those who are currently in these markets and what they like about the upside for these prospects. I will be trying to tour these cities in the coming months before making a final decision but anecdotal insights provide a much more colorful perspective for me to start sinking my teeth into.

Thanks!
