Best cities for multi-family investing

[Brandon Moore]

Looking into cities to buy a multi family property. Any advice?! From my research this far I am looking towards the south east region of the US. Being that I am from the Boston area, around here isn’t that practical.

I'm biased, but I really like Phoenix. 

• #1 in rent growth. Not only that, there's a lot of runway left. Phoenix spends around 22% of the income on rent, when the national average is close to 33%. While most of the country has seen rent growth slow way down, Phoenix is seeing increasing rent growth. Depending on the source, Q1'19 was 8.5-9.5% over Q1'18. 
• #2 in population growth. Located in the #1 growth county. 
• 5th largest city in the country and the MSA is now at 5 million.
