Top Markets to invest in for the next few Decades?
I was wondering what you all think are some good solid markets:
Rising Populations - Migration expected to increase
Solid strong economy. With different industries
Jobs Jobs JOBS long term
Good weather long term - despite global warming, temperate climates - I know CA is the only place with really good mediteranian weather, but I live here so wanted to buy oos.
I was thinking Texas, Florida, West etc. Sun belt areas. Which specific cities look good for both GROWTH and some CASH FLOW or opportunities long term?
What do you all think about high cashflow (lower appreciation areas) like the mid west, MN, Upstate NY etc?
I plan to be expanding more into new markets. Mainly multifamily but could consider other ways too

First, can you explain to me what the heck you're mumbling about in the first 4 lines of this post?
Second, if you're a smart REI, you're not choosing between CF and appreciation. You're looking for both.
Third, what makes you think the mid west down't have appreciation?
