Which area is best for Cashflow+ MF?

[Mitch Hankins]

Hi All,

This is my first post so forgive me if I’m breaking any etiquette. 

I just finished reading how to invest in real estate along with a dozen or so other books and although my strategy is clear I’m having difficulty making it work. 

My goal: use my VA loan to find a cashflow positive 4-plex with 0 down (OPM).

I started my search locally, in San Diego and have learned since I won’t find what I’m looking for here. I’m comfortable moving out of state so I’ve visited and expanded my search to Tampa but even there I’m having trouble finding positive cash flow. 

What parts of the country would be good to look at? My strategy is to hopefully refinance after a year and move on to the next deal (buy and hold). 

Thank you,

Mitch
