College grad leaving FL for cash flow and growth, where?

[N/A N/A]

I am graduating next year with a major in real estate from Orlando FL. The prices/taxes/insurance are prohibitive to cash flow here, so I am currently researching markets outside of Florida. I am looking for decent cash flow with the possibility of slightly above average appreciation in the long run of say 15 years.

I read a lot of articles of "best retirement locations" etc and think to myself how could I profit from these locations, as most of them are small towns. I am trying to find a niche for myself and I can see providing affordable housing to retirees being a part of it. The demographics of this population shift is going to be quite interesting to say the least.

I have read MikeOH say anywhere in flyover country is good for cash flow. I know that no one has a crystal ball but where do you guys see good cash flow now and steady economic growth over the long term.

All opinions appreciated. -Ben
