What are best markets for Cash Flowing Multi family investments ?

I am looking to buy multi family. What are the best markets in terms of Cash flow  and Long term rent growth, property values etc.

@Murali Mudddan Markets don't provide cash flow or appreciation...neighborhoods do...and more specifically, properties do...looking at this through a macro lens won't end well for you. Most metro statistical areas have populations over 2 million...that is a lot of "market" to pin-point a single cash flowing property...I know everyone talks about "markets" but this is not the right approach. Moreover, why is cash flow important?...you're saying you would trade $200/mo in cash flow over $150k in equity over a 10-year period??? I've never understood that mentality...

If you don't need the cash flow to meet your living expenses right now, it becomes a play for stability and long-term appreciation.
