Best Places To Buy Investment Properties In America
Good Morning Everyone!
I was wondering what you would consider to be the top 5 places in America to purchase an investment property? With prices being so high still, I believe it is imperative to find the right growing location. Based on my research and experience, here is my top 5:
1. Boise, ID
2. Arlington, TX
3. Columbus, OH
4. Las Vegas, NV
5. Birmingham, AL
I am interested in what you all have to say!

I agree with this!
Columbus, Ohio is a great market to invest in. The population has been growing here year over year over the last decade, it is home to The Ohio State University which has over 50,000 students that live here along with those that visit, and it also holds a diverse range of young professionals and traveling nurses to fill the demand of the multiple business corporations and hospitals stationed here. The appreciation rate in Columbus has been 8% higher than the national average over the last year. Tech companies are continuously moving here and establishing a footprint in Columbus as well. Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.
Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs.
