Cities and states to invest for cash flow or capital gain

[Huninder Mann]

Good evening everyone, 

I am from Canada and I looking to start investing in the USA. But I am not sure which State and cities to select which have 2% still working and which have return higher than 1%. I have was checking Houston Texas but I feel prices have gone up a bit in last 2-3 years. Please advise

How's it going! I'm assuming your talking about for buy and holds? Or did you New. Flips? If you mean b&h I'll recommend you look into the Indiana/north west Indiana market. The taxes are cheap and overall it's a really investor friendly state. For example we can get you into a house all in purchased for 100k in Merriville. Also research the south side suburbs of chicago. In the media chicago gets a bad name and although there are some bad areas here and there it's mostly propaganda. Illinois taxes are getting out of hand and you have to really be careful where you invest in certain areas but I usually find my investors deals that have a minimum of 11 or 12% cash on return. Let me know if I can help you or anyone else in Canada invest in the Midwest.
