Where to invest in 2017: Portland, OR; Austin, TX; Orlando, FL?
I'm evaluating which market I'd like to expand into as the market I'm currently involved in has gotten too expensive, which also means low returns. I keep reading articles of "the best cities to invest in 2017" pointing in all directions. Suggestions?

@Ricardo Fainsilber well, I think this is the golden question we are all searching for. I am in Austin. It is still a great market but very competitive. It will take some searching to find a good cashflow unit. I think buy & hold is favored around more around here, lately. It all depends on what you want to do.
Florida does seem to be buzzing. Id be interested in what you have heard with Portland?
