@Jordan Tinning that's a really good question. I'm a cash flow person too. 5 years ago it was Memphis, Cleveland, Indy, KC a bunch of mid west cities. Today we can all get into those markets but where are we in the cycle of those markets, it's maturing and everybody is in. I have some places in Columbus that I bought a few years ago because I was trying to get into a market where it was still early in the cycle and find places a property manager would manage. Today Columbus is HOT I don't know as an out of state cash flow investor if you can get a real deal that maximizes cash flow. The investors with boots on the ground are going to pick those deal immediately. If you have some cash find a place that needs a little TLC and maybe you can find a deal.
