Small Town Vs. Big City Investing?

[Andy Algreen]

Investing in a small town in Iowa vs the big city...what is your experience?

From what I have heard, if you are investing in a smaller rural town in Iowa, you can expect higher cash flow but a smaller appreciation. If you are investing in or around the Des Moines metro, typically you will see greater appreciation but lighter cash flow. There are a lot of variables to consider, but this has been the general consensus from the investors I have been having conversations with. I own a duplex in Des Moines and can agree with those statements.

I want to hear everyone else thoughts...has this been your experience with your real estate investments in Iowa??
