Looking for rental properties with appreciation and non-negative cash flow

[Raju Penmatcha]

Hi,

I'm looking for cities/states where I could invest in townhouse/SFH type rentals for strong appreciation while ensuring that I don't go cash flow negative. At present interest rates, are there cities where we could be cash flow non-negative (for a standard 20% down payment)?

As I live in New Jersey, somewhere in the North East is easier to manage, although I don't mind out of state properties if their growth/appreciation prospects look good. Thanks for your inputs.
